Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Tepals and leaves differed significantly in mesophyll structure, plastid ultrastructure, stomata density, and chlorophyll content.
- Observation Tepals fixed CO2 positively from microspore mother cell stage through pollen mitosis, but not during pollen maturation.
- Observation Tepal CO2 fixation peaked at the tetrad stage at 1.83 ± 0.12 μmol CO2 m-2 s-1.
- Observation L5 leaf CO2 fixation was 3.17 ± 0.27 μmol CO2 m-2 s-1.
- Observation Maximum tepal chlorophyll concentration was 21.9% of leaf chlorophyll concentration.
- Observation The Lilium flower bud may be partly autonomous in photosynthate production.
