Question

In which family, oblique ovary is found?

• A. Solanaceae
• B. Liliaceae
• C. Compositae
• D. Cruciferae

Answer 1

The correct option is A Solanaceae

Liliaceae has tricarpellary, syncarpous, trilocular gynoecium with axile placentation, and a superior ovary. Cruciferae has bicarpellary, syncarpous, bilocular, gynoecium with parietal placentation and ovary superior. Compositae has bicarpellary, syncarpous, unilocular gynoecium with one ovule in basal placentation, inferior ovary. Whereas Solanaceae has bicarpellary, syncarpous, bilocular or tetralocular gynoecium due to the presence of pseudoseptum multiple ovules on axile placentation with the superior and obliquely placed ovary.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
