Cytogenetic Investigations in Colchicine Induced Tetraploid of Cosmos Sulphureus (Asteraceae)
Chromosome Botany (2017)12(3): 41-45 ©Copyright 2017 by the International Society of Chromosome Botany Cytogenetic investigations in colchicine induced tetraploid of Cosmos sulphureus (Asteraceae) Rakesh Chandra Verma1, Preeti Dass2, Nilofar Shaikh1,3 and Mushtaq Ahmad Khah1 1School of Studies in Botany, Vikram University, Ujjain 456010, India 2 School of Studies in Microbiology, Vikram University, Ujjain 456010, India 1Author for correspondence: ([email protected]) Received March 10, 2017: accepted July 7, 2017 ABSTRACT: Polyploidy or whole genome duplication is an important mechanism for acquiring new genes and creating genetic novelty in plants. In the present study, successful induction of autotetraploidy has been achieved through seedling treatment of colchicine in Cosmos sulphureus. Young seedlings were treated with different concentrations of aqueous colchicine (0.15, 0.2%, each for different durations) using the cotton-swab method. Polyploidy was confirmed during meiotic behavior of pollen mother cells. Induced tetraploid was cytogenetically distinguished from diploid by the occurrence of 48 chromosomes at diakinesis/metaphase-I with different combinations of univalent, bivalents, trivalents, and multivalent. In addition, different types of chromosomal anomalies such as laggards, micronuclei etc. were also observed at anaphase/telophase-I. Various cytological features like chromosomal associations (quadrivalents, bivalents and univalents) and chiasmata frequency were recorded at diakinesis/metaphase-I. It is expected that the induced colchiploid, if established, could be used in further cytological and breeding programs. KEYWORDS: Cosmos sulphureus, colchiploid, quadrivalent, capitulum Polyploidy has been a recurrent process during the either in 0.15 or 0.20% aqueous colchicine were placed on evolution of flowering plant that has made a considerable the emerging apical tip between two cotyledonary leaves. -

Title Anatomical Characteristics of Comos sulphureus Cav. from Family Asteraceae Author Dr. Ngu Wah Win Issue Date 1 Anatomical Characteristics of Comos sulphureus Cav. from Family Asteraceae Ngu Wah Win Associate Professor Department of Botany University of Mandalay Abstract In this research, morphological and anatomical structures of leaves, stems, and roots of Comos sulphureus Cav. of tribe Heliantheae belonging to the family Asteraceae were studied, photomicrographed and described. This species is annual erect herb, compound leaves and flowers are bisexual head. Anatomical characters of Cosmos sulphureus Cav. are dorsiventral type of leaves, anomocytic type of stomata, and collateral type of vascular bundles were found. The shapes of midrib are found to be oval-shaped, the petioles were oval or heart-shaped, and the stem was tetragonal or polygonal in shape. Key words – Asteraceae, dorsiventral, anomocytic, collateral Introduction In people's lives plants were important and were essential to balance the nature. Plants served the most important part in the cycle of nature. Without plants, there could be no life on earth. Plants were the only organisms and they can make their own food. People and animals were incapable to make their own food and depend directly or indirectly on plants for their supply of food. There were many plants that were edible and that were used by rural people but the main emphasis was on commercial important plants (Wyk 2005). Comos sulphureus Cav. is also known as crest lemon, sunset, cosmic yellow and cosmic orange. It is well known as cosmos in English name (McLeod 2007). Comos sulphureus Cav. is known as dye plant and is cultivated for this purpose. -

Seed Volume Dataset—An Ongoing Inventory of Seed Size Expressed by Volume
Data Descriptor Seed Volume Dataset—An Ongoing Inventory of Seed Size Expressed by Volume Elsa Ganhão and Luís Silva Dias * Department of Biology, University of Évora, Ap. 94, 7000-554 Évora, Portugal; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 March 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 1 May 2019 Abstract: This paper presents a dataset of seed volumes calculated from length, width, and when available, thickness, abstracted from printed literature—essentially scientific journals and books including Floras and illustrated manuals, from online inventories, and from data obtained directly by the authors or provided by colleagues. Seed volumes were determined from the linear dimensions of seeds using published equations and decision trees. Ways of characterizing species by seed volume were compared and the minimum volume of the seed was found to be preferable. The adequacy of seed volume as a surrogate for seed size was examined and validated using published data on the relationship between light requirements for seed germination and seed size expressed as mass. Dataset: Available as supplementary file at http://home.uevora.pt/~lsdias/SVDS_03plus.csv Dataset License: CC-BY Keywords: germination in light and dark; seed size; seed volume; soil seed banks 1. Summary Seeds have been credited with being the main reason for the overall dominance of seed plants [1], which are recognized as the most successful group of plants in the widest range of environments [2]. It is recognized, apart from some exceptions, that plants and plant communities can only be understood if the importance of seeds in soil (seeds viewed not in a strict morphologic sense but rather encompassing fruits such as achenes, caryopses, cypselae, and others) is acknowledged, because at any moment, soil seed banks represent the potential population of plants through time [3]. -
