The external pollen morphology of the family Sapotaceae in Thailand was examined using acetolysis method to determine its taxonomic significance. Pollen 39 specimens belonging 32 species investigated by means light and scanning electron microscopy. grains are found be monads, isopolar, colporate, lalongate, variable size, shape, aperture number, colpus length exine thickness. Exine ornamentatio...

The exine coatings of spores can be used to encapsulate drug molecules. We have demonstrated that these microcapsules can be filled with a commercial gadolinium(III) MRI contrast agent (in this proof of concept study Gd-DTPA-BMA was used) which is slowly released in plasma due to enzymatic digestion of the capsule.

The thermo-sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) line SP2S is a spontaneous rapeseed mutation with several traits that are favorable for the production of two-line hybrids. To uncover the key cellular events and genetic regulation associated with TGMS expression, a combined study using cytological observation, transcriptome profiling, and gene expression analysis was conducted for SP2S and its ...

Abstract. Saensouk S, P. 2023. Palynology of the genus Lagerstroemia (Lythraceae) in Thailand. Biodiversitas 24: 3222-3229. Pollen morphology from Thailand was poorly reported. This study aimed to pollen 17 species by applying acetolysis under a light microscope and scanning electron microscope. described with distinctive features morphology, i.e., size, shape, exine sculpturing, character aper...

The development of the pollen grain wall in Xiphidium coeruleum (Haemodoraceae) was studied using TEM and cytochemical staining techniques. Microsporocyte ontogeny initiates with the degradation of the cellulosic cell wall and subsequent deposition of a thick callosic cell wall. Following callose deposition, successive meiosis occurs, resulting in a tetragonal tetrad of microspores. during meio...
