Seedling establishment in Scaligeria stewartiana (Nasir) Nasir (Apiaceae) from North-West Himalayas, India
Journal Title: European Journal of Biological Research - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The present paper deals with the morphological diversity of seedling establishment in different populations of Scaligeria stewartiana (Nasir) Nasir, inhabiting in North-West Himalayas. The seedling at different stages in the population of the species revealed marked variability. Seed treatments for germination resulted in understanding of seed dormancy and time required for the seedling establishment. The species develops variability in the genetic level that is transmitted and reflected in the form of morphology in order to adapt itself in the extremes of biotic and abiotic variables. Photographs of the seedling and data compiled in tables catch the specific stages of their seedling development after germination as well variability of the chromosomes. The initiation of tuber formation under the ground level in the soil and allocation of resources perform indispensable role in the life span as well as in paving the way for survival, conservation and distribution of the species.
