The development of buffalo grass seed

1946

Harlan, J.R.

1. Various details of the development of buffalo grass seed from the unfertilized ovary to maturity were observed and described. 2. The most striking feature of this development is the green scutellum which forms a broad shield behind the remainder of the embryo and which on maturity covers the entire dorsal surface of the endosperm. 3. Differences between buffalo grass and the wheat seed are listed, including the lack of a cross layer, the thin integuments, the adjacent, basal location of the chalaza and micropyle, and the multicellular suspensor in buffalo grass.
