Abstract
The young reproductive apex in Bajra (Pennisetum typhoides S. & H.) possesses a biseriate tunica and a massive corpus. The cells of three or four peripheral layers and six to eight layers at the summit of the apex are eumeristematic. The central region consists of elongated, highly vacuolated, and lightly stained cells arranged in files. The initiation of the spikelet bud is by periclinal divisions first in the corpus and later in T2 cells. Similarly the longer bristle or the extension of the fascicular axis develops from the corpus and T2 cells. The other bristles develop from the tunica layers. The chaff members are initiated and develop like a leaf. The development of the stamen resembles that of a spikelet or an axillary bud. The development of the carpel is similar to that of the leaf primordium. The origin and development of the male flower is like that of an axillary bud
