ABSTRACT: The structure of the
fetus, seed, embryo of 3 species of ephemerals of the genus Alyssum, collected
in the southwestern Kyzylkum, is described. Fetus of the Alyssum species is
rounded, wide-pated silicle, with fetus stems of a truncated-conical (A.
dasycarpum) shape. Pericarp is 4 - 5 layered. The fetus is seedless (2 - 4), and the seeds are protein-free, with a
large embryo. At the general plan of a structure, species have diagnostic
signs distinguishing them on the form of a fetus, weight of seeds, the
structure of embryo mesophyll.
