Abstract Echium plantagineum (Boraginaceae) is native of the Mediterranean

research were: (i) to study the morpho-anatomy of the diaspores of E. plantagineum; (ii) to identify the pathway of water uptake; and (iii) to characterize the germination and the seedling. The morpho-anatomical studies were carried out
analyzing semi-permanent slides of transverse and longitudinal sections of… More >
