Question
CBSEENBI12047500

Endothecium and tapetum are formed from

  • primary sporogenous tissue

  • primary parietal layer

  • primary parietal layer and sporogenous tissue respectively

  • sporogenous tissue and primary parietal layer respectively

Solution

B.

primary parietal layer

Endothecium is a type of tissue in anthers that lead to dehiscence. It secretes materials that are essential for the proper maturation of the pollen grains.

Tapetum is a specialised layer of nutritive cells found within the anther, of flowering plants, where it is located between the sporangenous tissue and the anther wall. 

They both are formed from primary parietal layer.
