Molecular analysis of dicot-monocot split and relationship among major angiosperm groups

    The relationship among the major angiosperm groups are modeled based on cladistic analyses primarily using RAPD technique. Phylogenetic trees of relationship derived from molecular data confirm dicots as the ancestral class of monocots, there seems no dicot-monocot split. Dicots form an ancestral class of magnoliids and the monocot lineage was derived from one of the...

Effect of pre-sowing, temperature and light on the seed germination of Arnebia benthamii (Wall. ex G. Don): An endangered medicinal plant of Central Himalaya, India

  Arnebia benthamii is under intensive utilization because of its wide use as medicinal and aromatic plant resource. Self-propagation of this species is by both seed and vegetative propagation. In an effort to improve and promote the cultivation of this over-exploited medicinal herb, the effect of temperature and light on the germination of seeds was investigated with various presowing treatments of water...
