Principle:-
Palynology is the study of pollen and spores, and it has many practical
applications in various fields such as agriculture, ecology, and archaeology.
Procedure:-
3. Extraction of pollen and spores: To extract pollen and spores, you will need to
use an appropriate solvent, such as acetolysis or hydrofluoric acid. Add the
solvent to the dried sample and heat it gently to aid in the extraction process.
4. Mounting: Once you have extracted the pollen and spores, you will need to
mount them on microscope slides using an appropriate mounting medium.
Common mounting media include glycerol and Permount.
5. Microscopic analysis: Once the pollen and spores are mounted, you can
examine them under a microscope. You may need to use different magnifications
to identify the pollen and spores accurately. Use reference materials and atlases
to help identify the pollen and spores.
6. Data analysis: Once you have identified the pollen and spores in your sample,
you can analyze the data. You may need to create diagrams or charts to present
your data.
7. Interpretation: Finally, you will need to interpret your data in the context of
your research question. For example, you may be studying past climate change,
so you will need to interpret the changes in pollen and spore assemblages in
terms of changing environmental conditions.
Precautions:-
It is essential to take necessary precautions while working with solvents like
acetolysis or hydrofluoric acid, and it is recommended to follow safety protocols
and guidelines to ensure personal safety.
Aim:- To study the technique of monographic study of the living gymnosperms
Principle:-
Procedure:-
2. Species sampling: Identify and collect living specimens of all known species of
gymnosperms. This may involve fieldwork in various regions of the world, as well
as collaboration with other researchers and botanical gardens.
4. Molecular analysis: Extract DNA from each species and conduct molecular
analyses, such as PCR, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis, to determine their
genetic relationships and evolutionary history.
5. Data integration: Integrate the morphological and molecular data to generate
a comprehensive and accurate taxonomic treatment of the living gymnosperms.
This may involve revising existing classifications, creating new taxa, and
developing a robust phylogenetic tree.
Principle:-
The sections are usually cut at thicknesses ranging from a few micrometers to less
than one micron, depending on the type of specimen and the purpose of the
examination. The thin sections are then typically mounted on microscope slides,
stained with various dyes or stains, and examined using various microscopy
techniques, such as light microscopy, electron microscopy, or fluorescence
microscopy.
