Abstract: | The gynoecium of Moringa is tricarpellary, syncarpous and unilocularwith parietal placentation. The three carpel primordia ariseindependently but soon become connected resulting in an annularstructure which develops into the tubular gynoecium. The gynoeciumis supplied with three dorsal and three marginal bundles. Thelatter represent the fusion product of the marginal bundlesof adjacent carpels and each splits into three in the ovarywall. The ovules receive their vascular supply from a commonbundle, which branches from the dorsal trace of the carpel atthe base of the ovary. The derivation of the gynoecium fromconduplicate carpels is postulated. Moringa oleifera, carpel morphology, conduplicate carpel, carpel ontogeny |
