- Abstract
The article discusses studies on the embryological characters of the angiosperms belonging to the family Violaceae. It notes that despite differences in morphology, microstructure and molecular structure within the genus, several Viola L. species exhibit uniformity in ovule characters, female gametophyte, embryo and development of endosperm. Abnormalities in female gametophytes of the examined species are attributed to pollution from heavy metals and from hybridization.
