sepals Modified leaves that protect a flower's inner petals and reproductive structures. Small, leaf-like structures in flowers that enclose and protect the developing flower.

sepal. One of the outermost flower structures which usually enclose the other flower parts in the bud.
sequential sampling. A sampling method in which the number of samples is not fixed in advance.
SEPALLATA3 (SEP3) is one of four SEP genes in Arabidopsis. If all but SEP4 are inactivated, a flower with only sepals is formed (hence the name). If all four are inactivated, no flowers are formed at all.
sepal The flower part attached outside the others, enclosing the flower when in bud.
septa Peritoneal (mesodermal) sheets separating adjacent segments, as in annelids, or body divisions, as in chaetognaths.
septate Divided by crosswalls into cells.
Ca = calyx (sepal whorl; e.g. Ca5 = 5 sepals)
Co = corolla (petal whorl; e.g., Co3(x) = petals some multiple of three )
Z = add if zygomorphic (e.g., CoZ6 = zygomorphic with 6 petals)
A = androecium (whorl of stamens; e.g.
For example, in one class of mutations, sepals develop where petals should and carpals develop where stamens should.
Sterile parts of flowers are the sepals and petals. When these are similar in size and shape, they are termed tepals.
4. (Science: botany) Having tubercles or grainlike processes, as the petals or sepals of some flowers.
