Question
‘Endothecium is associated with dehiscence of anther’ Justify the statement.
Solution
The inner tangential wall develops bands (sometimes radial walls also) of cellulose (sometimes also slightly lignified). The cells are hygroscopic. The cells along the junction of the two sporangia of an anther lobe lack these thickenings. This region is called stomium. This region along with the hygroscopic nature of endothecium helps in the dehiscence of anther at maturity.
