Pollen Biology of Food Plants of Tasar Silkworm, Antheraea mylitta,D

In this book, I attempted to give basic plant breeding techniques and some protocols with 7 units under different headings. In the present book, the distribution pattern, characterization of exo-morphic features, floral calendar, palynological data such as morphological features of pollen grains (both light and scanning electron microscopic studies), pollen germination and pollen viability have been carried out in sixteen host plants of tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta, D. This book provides important, distribution, population and Pollen biology of Food plants of tropical tasar silkworm Antheraea Mylitta-D in Karnataka. These observations suggest their distinctness and heterogeneous assemblage and influence of genetic flux operating on the evolution of these plant species. Besides, the ecological conditions might have played a role in their diversification. Further, it is hoped that the present investigations on the Pollen biology of food plants of tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta, D.' will assist to study the breeding system, pollen-pistil interaction, gene flow and heterozygosity in future.
