Abstract

Initiation and early development of the membranous ligule of Lolium temulentum L. was studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. The ligule appeared to be derived solely from the leaf adaxial epidermis and at this stage had a structure and ultrastructure typical of a meristematic tissue. Cells of the future collar region of the leaf appear to be initiated at the same time as the ligule. The siting of the ligule upon the leaf is briefly discussed.
