TLDR
Seed morphology, seed coat development and structure have been studied in Tephrosia species and the nucellus persists for a long time at the chalazal end in the form of nucellar pad in both of the species.Abstract:
Seed morphology, seed coat development and structure have been studied inCrotalaria burhia Buch-Ham.,C. medicaginea Lamk.,Tephrosia hamiltonii Drumm. andT. apollinea Link. Seed coat is formed by the outer integument alone. Inner integument plays no role in its formation and degenerates. InTephrosia species, the inner layer of inner integument acts as an integumentary tapetum. The nucellus persists for a long time at the chalazal end in the form of nucellar pad in both of theTephrosia species.read more

Tracheid bar and vestured pits in legume seeds (leguminosae: papilionoideae)
TL;DR: An anatomical survey of the tracheid bar was made from seeds representing 232 species of 97 genera from 29 of the 31 tribes recognized by Polhill, finding quite uniform in its general features throughout the subfamily, although differences in size and shape of both the bar and thetracheoids were found.

Development of Seed and Fruit in Indigofera enneaphylla L.
P. K. Deshpande,A. G. Untawale +1 more
TL;DR: Fertilization in Indigofera enneaphylla L. is porogamous; triple fusion precedes syngamy and sclerenchymatous cells differentiate and these help in the dehiscence of the fruit at maturity.
