Detailed microscopy of Cannabis sativa reproductive phytomers and control female floral anatomy, including bracts, ovary and ovule, stigmatic branches, perigonal-bract tissues, stomata, and glandular trichomes. STS-induced masculinization timing and treatment outcomes are excluded from normal female-development claims.
Visual lesson 09
Bract, ovary & stigma anatomy
Zoom through the female reproductive phytomer to distinguish the subtending bract, perigonal bract, ovary with a developing ovule, reduced perianth, paired stigmatic branches and papillae, plus the glandular trichomes and stomata carried by surrounding bract tissues.
