The funvtional significance of pollen aggregates in angiosperms
ABSTRACT:
Functional significance of pollen aggregates in angiosperms is discussed with reference to the number of ovules per ovary, number of seeds per fruit, polyad stigma relationship and correlation with the pollen type. Information regarding the pollination and breeding systems is also presented . it is shown that pollen aggregates have repeatedly evolved in angiosperms.

Relationships between plant communities and soil conditions in nasirabad and sibi districts , baluchistan, pakistan
ABSTRACT:
Twenty stand s f of vegetation were sampled in nasirabad and sibi districts . importance value of each species of three i.e. trees , shubs and herbs/grass layers was calculated. On the basis of similarity indices 9 plant communities associated with fine to coarse textured and moderate to strongly calcarious soils were recognized. These soils were generally very low in CO3 and HCO3. Salt free to strongly saline and sodium free to strongly sodic. Importance values of dominant plants and soil characteristics indicated that suaeda fruticosa , tamarix indica, cynodon dactylon and desmostachya bipinnata were positively correlated with ESP, Cl- and Ca+ Mg++ contents. C. dactylon was positively correlated with sand , D. bipinnata with electrical conductivity and panicum repens with amount of silt and negatively correlated with electrical conductivity.

Effect of azolla and nitrogenous fertilizer on yield performance of
ABSTRACT:
The effect azolla pinnata on rice yield was compared with the effect of nitrogenous fertilizer in the form of urea. Two commercial varieties of rice viz. IR6 and

Effect of humic acid on root nodulation and nitrogenase activity of sesbania sesban )L.) merril.
ABSTRACT:
Effect of different concentration of sodium humate applied to the root system of hydroponically grown seedling of sesbania sesban were studied on the seedling growth, root nodulation and nitrogenase actibvity. HA treatment at cotyledonary leaf stage at the time of inoculation increased the production of secondary laterals. Dry weight of root and shoot increased at 0.075 to 0.225 % HA. Rootnodules appeared 5-7d earlier and the number of nodules per plant and their fresh weight was significantly higher in HA treated seedlings . activity of nitrogenase increased following HA treatments . HA appeared to affect both the infection process as well as the formation and function of nodules in S.sesban.

Abscisic acid stimulated intercellular fluxes of potassium in excised roots of maize,
ABSTRACT:
Compartmental analysis were carried out to determine the influence of ABA on the intercellular fluxes of K in excised roots of zea mays L. the rate of influx was sensitive to ambient temperature and the tissus take about 24 hours to reach an eqyulibrium . ABA stimulated K influx rate at 15-250C, but did not alter the pattern of influx . the cytoplasmic content ‘Qc’ and the efflux at both the plasmalemma and tonoplast membrance were also increased by ABA , the net tracer uptake, however was little affected by ABA . In excised maize root , K was actively transported inwards. It is concluded that extermal ly applied ABA promotes intercellular fluxes of K and that interacts with energy-linked K pump. A model based on these results id described.

Locus identity test for 11 curled mutant lines in pisum sativum L.
ABSTRACT:
Identity/ allelism tests for 11 curled mutant lines of pea revealed that line 5142 and 5954 are mutations In the locus curl representative line 5855, while rest lines for the time being have been considered to be the mutations in the locus curl < a representative line 5846.

Comparison of methods of inoculating xanthomonas campestris PV. Translucens in wheat cultivars.
ABSTRACT:
Bacterial suspension containing 2 x 107 colony forming units of xanthomonas campestris pv. Translucens per ml, was used for inoculating 19 long duration , 5 medium duration and 3 short duration commercial cultivars of wheat under green house conditions . hypodermic inoculation method was better as compared to han rubbing, brush or spray methods in the development of disease symptoms.

Ecology of an upland forest near nowshera , NWFP, Pakistan
ABSTRACT:
The lower valley slopes were dominated by arboreal vegetation , the middle by tall shrub and the top exposed slopes by grasses . the vegetation comprises of olea ferruginea , monotheca buxifolia , acacia modesta , dodonaea viscosa and cymbopogon jwarancuso, the first time 3 species constituting the tree layer and the last 2 the field layer. O. ferruginea and M.buxifolia occupied the deep soil, . a modesta in habted the hot eroded sites, D. viscosa was rather uniformly distributed except the top slopes but was more adapted to exposed and warm habitats

Multivariate analyses of forests dominated by agathis australis salisb., in newzealand
ABSTRACT:
Multivariate analyses of 25 mature agathis australis (kauri) stands extending from te paki to katikati are presented . four groups of kauri-nothofagus truncate, kauri- beilschmiedia tarairi, dyoxylum spectabile , kauri-ixerba brexioides , ackama rosaefolia and kauri-oleria rani, phyllocladus trichomanoides may be recognized. In most stands however, the overlapping species distribution indicated the relative homogenous nature of the various kauri forests . imilarities between canopy and understory classification/ordination imply that canopy and understory species are correlatd in their occurrence. Stand groupings obtained by multivariate analyses showed distinct relationships to soils group . higher values (basal are and density) of kauri were recorded on soils derived from predominantly igneous rocks. The relationship between multivariate results and overall community and topographically attributes were assessed . density values and slope showed a significant correlation with ordination axes.
