description

InCocos (and probably in all other palms) the embryogenesis shows a number of primitive characters, such as differentiation of the embryo proper from one cell of the pluricellular proembryo, origin of the single cotyledon from a position lateral to the terminal stem tip, and a tendency to cleavage polyembryony.
