Summary
In monocots, the zygotic embryo is protected and nourished by an endosperm. In the present study
starch deposition and amylase accumulation was noticed during somatic embryogenesis in stem
callus of a bamboo, Dendrocalamus hamiltonii. SEM studies revealed that starch grains were clearly
visible in the scutellum during the maturation stage of the somatic embryo. As the somatic embryo
developed further, the scutellum got reduced with corresponding increase in amylase. The amylase
activity was tested periodically at different developmental stages of embryos. The role of scutellum in
somatic embryos for starch deposition and amylase accumulation is discussed.
