Ovary structure and anatomy in the Heliconiaceae and Musaceae (Zingiberales) [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1992 Ovary anatomy and organography was investigated in five species of Heliconia (Heliconiaceae) and three species of Musa (Musaceae). The ovaries of both genera may be longitudinally divided into three regions: sublocular, locular, and prolongation. The prolongation is the elongated closure of the top of the locules.

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐
