    Anatomical studies of the aerial stem, rhizome, leaf sheath and root of elettaria Cardamomum (Maton)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1977) Mercy, S T; Luckins, C Babu; Mary, K George
    The detailed anatomy of the aerial stem, rhizome, leaf sheath and root of cardamom is studied in the present investigation. The aerial shoot has a typical monocotyledonous stem known as 'culm' with nodes and inter-nodes protected by long sheathing leaf bases. In the rhizome the nodes and internodes are crowded together. It can be differentiated from the aerial stem due to the presence of scale leaves and adventitious roots. The aerial stem, rhizome, leaf sheath and root have typical monocotyledonous anatomy.

    Nutritional effects of calcium, magnesium, silica and sodium chloride on certain anatomical characters of rice plant related to lodging
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1975) Chandramony, D; Mary, K George
    The anatomical changes induced by the application of elements like Calcium Magnesium, Silica and Sodium chloride and their relationship with lodging resistance were studied in one lodging variety. The study indicates the differential effects of Calcium and Magnesium on the anatomical characters of nee Calcium weakens the straw strength and favours lodging by producing large thin walled cells while Magnesium resist the lodging tendency by producing small but thick and compact cells. Silica and Sodium chloride also, to same extent induce anatomical changes favourable for lodging resistance.
