Comparative Account of Seedling Morphology of Luffa Species
Santosh Jadhav | Niranjana Chavan
Abstract: The study of morphology of plant species is restricted to mature specimens only. The seedling morphology takes considerable place in taxonomic research. It gives primary source of taxonomic and genetic characters. Seedlings show distinct identification characters. In this study seedling morphology of three major species of Luffa is studied. The marked characters can be used for distinction of wild Luffa acutangula var. amara from cultivated L. acutangula and L. cylindrica.
Keywords: seedling morphology, taxonomy, Luffa acutangula var amara, Luffa cylindrica
