Using this method, it was possible to examine and take vivid SEM photographs of a number of fresh shoot apices and developing flower buds in a short time. The SEM observation revealed that apical domes grew larger at an early stage of flower initiation, then flattened, and finally flower organs, such as sepals, petals, stamens and pistils were formed on the domes in succession. © 1996 Oxford University Press Notes nationallicence direct SEM viewing nationallicence shoot apex nationallicence flower bud nationallicence Arai Motoi Department of Regulation-Biology, Faculty of Science, Saitama University, Urawa, Saitama, 338 Japan, 1-297 Kitabukuro, Oomiya, Saitama, 330 Japan aut Saito Tomoko General Research Institute, Mitsubishi Materials Co., Ltd. 1-297 Kitabukuro, Oomiya, Saitama, 330 Japan aut Kaneko Yasuko Department of Regulation-Biology, Faculty of Science, Saitama University, Urawa, Saitama, 338 Japan, 1-297 Kitabukuro, Oomiya, Saitama, 330 Japan aut Matsushiraa Hisashi Department of Regulation-Biology, Faculty of Science, Saitama University, Urawa, Saitama, 338 Japan, 1-297 Kitabukuro, Oomiya, Saitama, 330 Japan aut Microscopy Oxford University Press 45/2(1996-04), 168-170 0022-0744 45:2<168 1996 45 jmicro https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.jmicro.a023428 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 other jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.jmicro.a023428 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Arai Motoi Department of Regulation-Biology, Faculty of Science, Saitama University, Urawa, Saitama, 338 Japan, 1-297 Kitabukuro, Oomiya, Saitama, 330 Japan aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Saito Tomoko General Research Institute, Mitsubishi Materials Co., Ltd. 1-297 Kitabukuro, Oomiya, Saitama, 330 Japan aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Kaneko Yasuko Department of Regulation-Biology, Faculty of Science, Saitama University, Urawa, Saitama, 338 Japan, 1-297 Kitabukuro, Oomiya, Saitama, 330 Japan aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Matsushiraa Hisashi Department of Regulation-Biology, Faculty of Science, Saitama University, Urawa, Saitama, 338 Japan, 1-297 Kitabukuro, Oomiya, Saitama, 330 Japan aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Microscopy Oxford University Press 45/2(1996-04), 168-170 0022-0744 45:2<168 1996 45 jmicro Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
