Exploring the micromorphological diversity of palynomorphic flora from lesser Himalaya biodiversity hotspot
Palynology, a prominent field in plant systematics and biodiversity studies, plays a vital role in
identifying and determining the plant species present in a specific region. The current study was performed to
evaluate the micromorphological traits of pollen from flora of Lesser Himalaya. Pollen microstructural
variations aid in the identification of species belonging to specific botanical families and various geographic
habitats. Flowers of 24 selected species categorized into 16 families were collected, preserved and then acetolysis
protocol followed. Pollen was examined under a light and scanning microscopy (LM and SEM) for
palynomorph description. The palynomorphs characteristics such as size, shape, exine surface, and aperture
Soil contamination by chromium (Cr) has severely degraded soil the health, which poses a serious threat to sustainable agricultural production worldwide.
This meta-analysis assesses the effects of melatonin (Mel) on various wheat agronomic traits, revealing significant heterogeneity and potential publication bias.
