Developmental Stability of Flowering Plants is Depending On the Amount of Rainfall
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to quantify and to compare fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of flowers of five species of plant. The analysis was based on the Procrustes method. The first task was to test the index of fluctuating asymmetry of homologous points and identify the level of developmental stability. The second task included the comparison the index of fluctuating asymmetry of xeromorphic and succulent plants. Procrustes ANOVA showed a different picture of fluctuating asymmetry depending on adaptation species to drought season. After the year with limit of rainfall the deviation from developmental stability was essential. In succulent plants FA has been increased. In contrary the index of fluctuating asymmetry data of xeromorphic plants showed a tendency to decreasing. Keywords: fluctuating asymmetry, developmental stability, Procrustes method
