| The development process of flower and fruit of feminization stamens of Capsicum annuum L. were
conducted by the morphological and anatomical method and common plant paraffin section method. The morphological
observation showed that, feminization bud was bigger than normal bud. Feminization stamens could fruit but the fruits were
very small, and the small fruits were located at normal peduncle of pepper. It also found two mutants of some stamens
feminization and all stamens feminization. According to the results of microscopic section, we knew that feminization
stamen primordium presented leafy protrusions as flat, later developed into similar carpel thallus, forming the marginal
placentation by edges conniventting or stitching together. In the process of feminization, stamens showed different levels of
feminization, and showed a series of intermediate transition types. The other feminisation ovary冶with ovule and
feminization stamens of the ovule were similar to those of normal ovary of the ovule. |
