In Pinus, male cone bears a large number of

  • ligules

  • anthers

  • micro- sporophylls

  • mega- sporophylls


C.

micro- sporophylls

Micro-sporophylls or mega- sporophylls are the leaf like structures on which microsporangia and megasporangia are borne on the same plant of Pinus

(a) Male cones (microstrobili)- are small

(b) Female cones (ovulate strobili)- are large

Each male cone consists of an elongated axis containing number of micro- sporophylls. Underside of same develops 2 microsporangia and gets filled with microspores (pollen grains).

Anther or microsporangium is the male reproductive structure of angiosperm.

Ligule, is a tongue- like membranous outgrowth, present on upper surface, near the base of the microphyllous leaf in pteridophytes.
