Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Endothecium is a single layer of radially elongated cells found below the epidermis of another wall. The cells are hygroscopic. The inner tangential wall is having bands of `alpha` cellulose. The cells along the junction of the two sporangia of an anther lobe lack these thickening. This region is called stomium. This stomium along with the hygroscopic nature of endothecium helps in the dehiscence of anther at maturity.
