Abstract

SANCHEZ-SALAS, Jaime et al. Morphometry cactus seed in threat of extinction Astrophytum myriostigma Lemaire. Polibotánica [online]. 2015, n.39, pp.119-131. ISSN 1405-2768.

We present a morphometric and microstructural study in seeds of a population of the threatened cactus Astrophytum myriostigma Lem., entirely removed from the location. The results are for size of seeds and embryos (large and small) and description of features in the seed using a stereoscopic microscope. We include a detailed description of the shape, color and structural micro funicle, funicular layer and other surrounding structures.

Keywords : seeds; morphometry; microstructures; A. myriostigma.
