pollen morphology of some species of the genus malus (rosaceae) was investigatedtaxonomically. all species are characteristic by tricolpate pollens. exine sculpturing is variable but is mostlystriate. however, species may differ in degree of density of ridges and their orientation. the exine patterns inm. trilobata and m. florentina are very similar and were characterized by short and very bran...

the organization of gall on the ovary ofsesamum indicum l induced by the gall midge, asphondylia sesami felt, not only affects biochemical equilibrium of the host but also causes disturbed vegetative growth and reduced seed-setting. the toxicity created by the gall maker induces the re-orientation of vasculature cecidogenetic stimuli lead to excessive hypertrophy and hyperplasy forming the gall...

differentiation among populations of the iranian teucrium polium l.was analyzed on the basis of morphological and phytochemical variability, to evaluate the level and distribution of diversity among four distant populations from arid, semi-arid, and sub-humid regions of fars province. morphological analysis included 11 characters related to the plant, leaf, and stem morphology. analyses of vari...

yarrow (achillea spp.) belonging to the family of asteraceae with useful properties, such as anti-diaphoretic, anti-hemorrhagic, anti-inflammation, anti-biotic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, carminative and anti-oxidant effects. the present investigation assessed the morphological diversity of achillea aucheri, which is indigenous plant from damavand mountain of iran. the samples were collected ...

Classical plant morphology still provides the conceptual framework for most phytomorphological investigations and highly relevant concepts and data for other botanical disciplines such as plant morphogenesis, molecular genetics, ecology, systematics, evolutionary plant biology, etc. Typical classical morphology is categorical, i.e. the diversity of plant form is reduced to mutually exclusive mo...
