Studies in Stomata of Chilli and Brinjal

Abstract
Ontogeny and development of stomata in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) and brinjal (Solanum melongena L ) are described Paracytic, anomocytic, and anisocyuc stomata are present Abnormalities such as stoma with a single guard cell and degenerated stomatal cells are common. Degeneration of guard cell is traced in chilli Juxtaposed, superposed, and obliquely placed contiguous stomata are described. An incompletely differentiated menstemoid was found contiguous with a normal stoma Rarely a guard cell divides to form a menstemoid. Cytoplasmic connections between the guard cells of adjacent or juxtaposed contiguous stomata are observed in chilli Extruded nucleoh in the guard cells of chilli are common Extruded nucleoh may enlarge The wounded epidermis of chilli lose sinuosity of their walls and the degeneration of guard cells is common.
