    S. M. El Naggar & N. Sawady Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic significance in Yemen Abstract El Naggar, S. M. & Sawady N.: Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic signifi- cance in Yemen. — Fl. Medit. 18: 431-439. 2008. — ISSN 1120-4052. The pollen morphology of 20 species of Malvaceae growing in Yemen was investigated by light (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The studied taxa belong to 9 genera and three different tribes. These taxa are: Abelmoschus esculentus, Hibiscus trionum, H. micranthus, H. deflersii, H. palmatus, H. vitifolius, H. rosa-sinensis, H. ovalifolius, Gossypium hirsutum, Thespesia populnea (L.) Solander ex Correa and Senra incana (Cav.) DC. (Hibiscieae); Malva parviflora and Alcea rosea (Malveae); Abutilon fruticosum, A. figarianum, A. bidentatum, A. pannosum, Sida acuta, S. alba and S. ovata (Abutileae). Pollen shape, size, aperture, exine structure and sculpturing as well as the spine characters proved that they are of high taxonom- ic value. Pollen characters with some other morphological characters are discussed in the light of the recent classification of the family in Yemen. Key words: Malvaceae, Morphology, Yemen. Introduction Malvaceae Juss. (s. str.) is a large family of herbs, shrubs and trees; comprising about 110 genera and 2000 species. It is a globally distributed family with primary concentrations of genera in the tropical and subtropical regions (Hutchinson 1967; Fryxell 1975, 1988 & 1998; Heywood 1993; La Duke & Doeby 1995; Mabberley 1997). Due to the high economic value of many taxa of Malvaceae (Gossypium, Hibiscus, Abelmoschus and Malva), several studies of different perspective have been carried out, such as those are: Edlin (1935), Bates and Blanchard (1970), Krebs (1994a, 1994b), Ray (1995 & 1998), Hosni and Araffa (1999), El Naggar (1996, 2001 & 2004), Pefell & al.

DOI: 10.16943/ptinsa/2016/v82/48406 Review Article Revisiting the Status of Cultivated Plant Species Agrobiodiversity in India: An Overview ANURUDH K SINGH* 2924, Sector-23, Gurgaon, Haryana, India 122 017 (Received on 14 March 2016; Revised on 20 May 2016; Accepted on 16 June 2016) A revisit to the literature on cultivated plant species agrobiodiversity in India revealed that the floristic diversity is represented by 17,926 species of angiosperm, while Indian agriculture cultivates 811 plant species and harbours more than 900 wild relatives of the cultivated plant species distributed over 10 (+ 1) biogeographic regions of the the country, significantly higher than commonly cited in the literature. Further, it revealed the role of Indian communities in domestication to cultivation of around 215 economically important plant species, and adaption of around 600 exotic crop species. Based on new evidence, several species require inclusion and others deletion, and many need further investigations to resolve the issue on country of their origin. Cultivation of crop species in diverse natural and man-made agroecological systems for centuries has generated a huge amount of genetic diversity in a large number of crop species, maintained by the farmers in the form of landraces or farmer’s varieties, and conserved as collections/accessions in the national agricultural research system.

QAISER Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Abstract The seed morphological studies of 75 taxa belonging to 6 sub-families of the family Malvaceae were carried out from Pakistan. In Pakistan the family Malvaceae is represented by 6 sub-families viz., Byttnerioideae, Dombeyoideae, Malvoideae, Bombacoideae, Helicteroideae and Sterculioideae. The seed macro and micro morphological characters are examined, using light (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Detailed seed morphological descriptions, micrographs and keys based on seed characters are also provided. A variety in various quantitative and qualitative seed characters was observed. The micro-morphological characters of seeds are quite significant to strengthen the taxonomic decisions within the family Malvaceae at various levels. The data obtained from the seed morphological characters were analyzed numerically to trace out the phylogenetic affinities for the taxa within the family Malvaceae from Pakistan.

    ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences A Census of Ethnomedicinal Plants Used In Bankura District, West Bengal. Sayani Biswas*, and Ambarish Mukherjee. Department of Botany (CAS phase II), Burdwan University, Burdwan- 713104. West Bengal, India. ABSTRACT While studying the ethnomedicinally concerned plants of Bankura district, it was considered necessary to prepare a checklist assigning each of them to their respective families along with their local names. In total as many as 115 species of vascular plants that could be recorded under different habit categories with species ratio of dicots and monocots as 18.5:1. The Family: Genus: Species ratio (on total basis) was found to be 2.64:2.39:1.10. At Specific, generic and family levels, dicots show higher proportion than monocots. The higher number of families with low number of species indicates diversity essential for stabilizing the community in which they occur. The observed ratio of ethnomedicinally used Tree: Shrub: Herb: Climber being 21:37:41:16 reflects the heterogeneity in plant habit-based utilization pattern which is unlikely to preclude sustainable use of the species in concern.

India is a rich treasure house of various species of Abelmoschus and all 11 species are found either in the wild, semi-wild or under cultivation. The genus Abelmoschus has a tortured systematic history. The ambiguity in nomenclature and lack of strong morphological characters for the delimitation of species has made the circumscription the genus rather controversial and created problems in breeder’s selection efforts. In the present review updated information on its taxonomy, genetic diversity, cytology and interspecific hybridization is discussed. Keywords: Abelmoschus, distribution, Malvaceae, okra, review, systematics Introduction The word Abelmoschus probably originated from origin, distribution, taxonomy, cytology, genetic Arabian abul-l-mosk meaning “father of musk, diversity, interspecific hybridization and economic source of musk” referring to the seeds of the genus importance of genus Abelmoschus to confer the (Don, 1831; Jaeger, 1950; Nayar, 1985; Quattrocchi, needs of those engaged in research on breeding 2000).

Toledo 1 Foreword Way back in 1982, at the 3rd World Parks Congress, in Bali, Indonesia, protected area managers were already concerned about the use of protected areas to conserve genetic diversity. One of the plenary presentations, by Robert Prescott-Allen, was entitled, “Park Your Genes: Protected Areas as in situ Gene Banks for the Maintenance of Wild Genetic Resources”1. At the same session, Cyril de Klemm gave a presentation entitled “Protecting Wild Genetic Resources for the Future: the Need for a World Treaty”2. This was the precursor to many of basic concepts of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
