Abstract
AbstractMorphological and anatomical structure of seeds and seedlings of Securigera securidaca (L.) DEGEN. & DOERFL. and several other members of Loteae tribe [Ornilhopus sativus BROT., Lotus tetragonolobus L., Tripodion tetraphyllum (L.) FOURR. and Hymenocarpos circinnatus (L.) SAVI] was studied.Development of the plumule, cotyledons, shoots system and main root of the seedlings are described with special attention to the vascular system. In cotyledonary axils, serial buds early appear and develop that makes identification of the main shoot rather difficult. However, the apical bud and normally developed main shoot were found in all examined species. DORMER'S (1945) idea on the reduction of the main bud and COMPTON'S (1912) supposition on extra‐axillary branching of epicotyl into equivalent shoots were disproved.
