Abstract

Angiosperm stigmata are unique in their structure are therefore very diverse in structurally. Okra, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench is self-pollinated crop with large, attractive hermaphrodite flowers. The morphology of stigma is described using scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to extent current knowledge of stigmatic structure which may help to breeders working on genetic improvement program of okra.
