Sepal
Definition:
(n.) A leaf or division of the calyx.
Example Sentences:
(1) In agamous-1, stamens to petals; in apetala2-1, sepals to leaves and petals to staminoid petals; in apetala3-1, petals to sepals and stamens to carpels; in pistillata-1, petals to sepals.
(2) The PR-1 class of proteins (biological function unknown) is located in sepal tissue.
(3) Sepal primordia then arise (stage 3) and grow to overlie the primordium (stage 4).
(4) In the families of flowering plants in which these organs occur, they are patterned with the sepals in the outermost whorl or whorls of the flower, with the petals next closest to the center, the stamens even closer to the center, and the carpels central.
