MICROSCOPY OF TAMARIND SEEDS Authors: Narkhede MB , TARE HL, CHUMBHALE DS, CHAUDHARI SR, PATIL KD, DAMA GY AND DEORE SR
ABSTRACT
In this study, we are reporting anatomical features of seeds of Tamarindus indica Linn. The
transverse sections of these seeds are differentiated into two layers outermost is sclerotesta and
inner one is sarcotesta. There are two cotyledons which comprise outer layer of smaller square
shaped epidermal cells. The ground tissue consists of homogenous, circular, highly thick walled
parenchyma cells. Hope, these will surely be useful to global researchers in preparation of
pharmacopoeial standards.
