This experience was very virtuous, and I enjoyed healthy learning during my research work. The working not only improved my laboratory skills but also enhanced and updated the knowledge in the field. It was not as simple as it seems today but there were untiring efforts behind that made the things smooth and positive. Inspite of my efforts it was God’s grace that made me able to complete this endeavor. I would like to offer the heartiest gratitude to my PhD supervisor Prof. Dr. Peter John, who supported and guided me beyond the imagination. His affection and supervision were full of comfort and ease to run the work at a smooth and steady pace. I would also like to pay special thanks to the worthy Prof. Dr. Ahmad Adnan, Chairperson and Professor/Dean, Faculty of Chemistry and Life Science, Government College University, Lahore, Pakistan. His continuous support and guidance always provided me an urge to learn and to accomplish the achievements heartedly and devotedly. I offer my special thanks to Dr. Muhammad Waseem Mumtaz, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Gujrat, Pakistan, for his affection, technical support and professional guidance. I am also very thankful to Prof. Dr. Hamid Mukhtar, Director, the Institute of Industrial Biotechnology University, Lahore, for his technical assistance and special motivation. vi vii TABLE OF

The purpose of this review is to highlight the amazing diversity of sexual expression in palms with a view to proposing scenarios to explain the evolution of this character, drawing on the numerous advances that have been made over the last 20 years in palm systematics, ecology, developmental biology, phylogenetics and genomics. We provide an overview of the variability of sexual expression in palms, with illustrations of the associated morphological diversity and its significance to reproduction. We discuss the evolution of sexual systems using the most recent phylogenetic framework available for palms.
