Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the morphological value and phylogeny of ovules and their integuments. The author examines their origins by comparing ovules from lower and higher plants, describing their evolution from simple structures to more complex forms found in present-day plants. The book explores theories on whether ovules belong to the category of shoots, roots, or leaves, with a particular focus on the three main theories that have been proposed. Additionally, the author challenges the widely-held synangial theory, which suggests that the integument of an ovule is homologous with the sporange envelope of ferns. Through detailed descriptions and a comparative analysis of various ovules, this book provides valuable insights into the diversity and evolution of ovule structures in the plant kingdom, offering a comprehensive understanding of their morphological significance.
