SEM study of some allied species of Cyperus L. from Khandesh region of Maharashtra, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The nut morphology of 08 allied species of Cyperus L. from Khandesh region of Maharashtra was examined under LM and SEM. The nuts exomorphic characters that is diagnostic at species level are, nut shape, size, dimensions, colour and nuts surface sculpture in different species. SEM studies at high magnification show different types of surface patterns like papillate, reticulate, with different anticlinal and periclinal walls. The nut exomorphic characters from LM and SEM investigation facilitate the construction of an artificial key for the allied species of Cyperus L.
