Abstract:

The anatomy of seeds of weed species of wheat and cotton fields of district Khairpur, Sindh, Pakistan were carried out through scanning electron microscope (SEM). From the studied seeds, there was a wide range of seed shapes ranging from orbicular, ovate, elliptic, oblong to reniform topentagonous. The surface of seeds revealed the difference in epidermal structures from smooth to reticulate and glandular. This paper highlits diversity of epidermal stucture of studied seeds that can be used for proper identification of seeds of important weeds in Pakistan.
