Patterns of flower development in Apiaceae–Apioideae

2016

Abstract Apiaceae is a large family characterized by uniform flowers. However, early ontogenetic studies revealed unexpected diversity in flower development. In the present paper, we investigate eight species representing six tribes of subfamily Apioideae to address diversity in developmental patterns. One focus is on the developmental divergence of sex morphs in andromonoecious species. Scanning electron microscopic studies were conducted on six herbaceous species: Chaerophyllum bulbosum , Daucus carota , Dorema aucheri , Ferula hezarlalehzarica , Orlaya grandiflora , Pastinaca sativa , and two woody species, i.e., Bupleurum fruticosum and Seseli ghafoorianum . Our results confirm the exis…
