ABSTRACT
In this paper histochemical investigations of the secretory structures ofConium maculatumL., are described that discriminated between ducts and vittae. The localization of alkaloids in seedlings, vegetative organs, flowers, and in the mericarp (during its development from ovary to full maturity), was achieved using specific histochemical tests.Copyright 1998 Annals of Botany Company
