The abaxial leaf surfaces of Anomozamites villosus sp. nov., a new species of bennettitalean foliage from the Middle Jurassic Daohugou beds of Inner Mongolia, China, are covered with soft, shaggy hairs that are loosely, but regularly... more
The micromorphological structure of seedlings of Rhynchosia minima (L.) DC. is described, from a dry ruderalized site of Karachi, on the basis of optical (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The seedling appeared to be "... more
The leaves of Carissa macrocarpa (Eckl.) A. DC., collected from plants grown as hedge at Oud Metha, Dubai, were studied for their phenotypic traits, morphometric characteristics, leaf area estimation and surface micromorphological... more
Trichome morphology on the leaves of the 17 plant species belonging to family Asteraceae was investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy. Our data revealed that both eglandular and glandular trichomes were present in the taxa.... more
Surface microstructure of Capparis cartilaginea Decaisne leaves collected from coastal hills of Paradise Point, Karachi (Pakistan) was investigated. The leaves had unicellular strap-like trichomes of around 300 µm. The leaves were... more
The anatomy and micromorphology of eleven species of Eugenia found in the ‘restinga’ of Marica, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were studied and compared. The characteristics found to be of most use in distinguishing the species are: presence and... more
Background and aims: Although trichomes are typical features of the species-rich genus Croton, little is known about their development, anatomical structure and function. This study aims to characterize the anatomy of leaf trichomes of... more
Research on the analysis of the anatomy of the stomatal and trichomes of the medicinal plant Dandang Gendis Clinacanthus nutans (Burm.f.) Lindau in Makassar City. This study aims to determine the anatomical structure of the stomatal and... more
Uptake, transport and toxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into plant cells are complex processes that are currently still not well understood. Parts of this problem are the multifaceted plant anatomy, and analytical challenges to... more
Trichomes of twenty two taxa of the genus Solanum, Withania, Petunia, Capsicum, Atropa, Lycopersicon, Cestrum, Hyoscyamus, Datura, Physalis and Nicotiana were examined by using light microscope and photomicroscope. The indumentums shows... more
Etiolated growth in darkness or the irreversible transition to photomorphogenesis in the light engages alternative developmental programs operating across all organs of a plant seedling. Dark-grown Arabidopsis de-etiolated by zinc (dez)... more
The micromorphological structure of seedlings of Rhynchosia minima (L.) DC. is described, from a dry ruderalized site of Karachi, on the basis of optical (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The seedling appeared to be "... more
Uptake, transport and toxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into plant cells are complex processes that are currently still not well understood. Parts of this problem are the multifaceted plant anatomy, and analytical challenges to... more
The chemical composition of the essential oils and the anatomical structures of the aerial parts from Baccharis anomala, B. megapotamica and B. ochracea growing in Brazil were studied. The volatile constituents isolated by... more
This study describes the anatomy and analyzes the histochemistry of the vegetative organs of Priva lappulacea (L.) Pers. Freehanded transversal and paradermal sections of fresh and fixed material were used for the anatomical and... more
A small group of F-box proteins consisting of a conserved F-box domain linked to a domain homologous to the glycan-binding protein has been identified within the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana. Previously, the so-called F-box-Nictaba... more
Various morphological components of Millingtonia hortensis Linn. f. (cultivated in Dubai as roadside ornament) were studied for their surface micromorphology. The surface of this plant presented three important structures-much distributed... more
In contrast with the abundance of anatomical studies of secretory structures on aerial vegetative organs of Asteraceae species, the information about secretory structures on thickened subterranean organs is sparse. The aim of this study... more
Many angiosperms produce nectar that entices pollinator visits. Each floral nectary tends to embody a singular form, such as the receptacular ring arising beneath the ovary in mint flowers (Lamiaceae). Exceptionally, the annular floral... more
The aim of this study was to investigate whether gluconeogenesis catalysed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) occurs during leaf senescence. This was addressed by determining changes in the abundance and intercellular location... more
