B. Rodkiewicz et al., CHLOROPHYLL AND CUTIN IN EARLY EMBRYOGENESIS IN CAPSELLA, ARABIDOPSIS, AND STELLARIA INVESTIGATED BY FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY, Sexual plant reproduction, 7(5), 1994, pp. 287-289
Advanced globular embryos of Capsella and early heart-shaped embryos o
f Arabidopsis begin to show chlorophyll fluorescence. It is not presen
t in the suspensor, epiphysis, radicle and embryo of Stellaria. Cutin
fluorescence appears on the protoderm of all advanced globular embryos
. Fluorescence disappears during the early torpedo stage. It is not pr
esent on suspensors.
