The authors present results of taxonomy, ecology, biological and embryological studies (embryo and endosperm development) in Striga (Scrophulariaceae). The significance of embryo and seed structures is discussed and the results allow to evaluate embryology as a dynamic system of contributing to the resolution of an important agronomical problem in Tropical Africa.
