Male Sterility in Potamogeton richardsonii L

Shekappa Ningappa Agadi

Abstract :

Male sterility in flowering plants is very important, for production of hyid seeds.Hydrophytic plants possess unique morphological and anatomical features. But researchers are neglected the developmental aspects of reproductive structure in hydrophytes. Even slight alteration in external and internal environment may lead to pollen sterility. Here is a small attempt to study the reproductive structure of Potamogeton. The Potamogetonrichardsonii L. manifestation of male sterility are expressed only during post meiotic phase. Thecircumstantial evidences point out to the defective carbohydrate metabolism and abnormal behavior of the tapetum as cause for male sterility (present study).
