EVOLUTION AND TAXONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE OF SEED MICROMORPHOLOGY IN SOUTH INDIAN IMPATIENS L.
Project summary:
The present study deals with an in-depth analysis of the seed characters of shape, primary ornamentation, secondary ornamentation, anticlinal cell wall, and periclinal cell wall with taxonomic significance in this genus and the correlation between the diversity of seed coat traits and how Impatiens adapt to their environment, as well as how their seeds are dispersed the task will be executed to ensure straightforward identification and future reference.
