“…Pollen that had been spread out on glass plates are taken, scooped and transferred into oven dried glass vials. The vials are then placed in a glass desiccation chamber that had been impregnated with silica and kept in a refrigerator at 4°C [16]. Using an acetocarmine dye, pollen viability can be assessed periodically in accordance with normal microscopy sample procedures.…”

The detailed knowledge on the reproductive biology of plants is required for their successful cultivation and conservation. The reproductive characteristics of trees are required to assess the diversity patterns and community structure of the forests. Understanding the reproductive characteristics, such as, pollination, breeding systems, phenology, and floral biology of Populus deltoides is immensely important; because it is one the most important tree species in India. The review documented the physiological basis of the reproductive characteristics of poplar tree. Literature indicated that the dioecious species shows a regular flowering patternin both the male and female trees, and they produces flower (catkin) every year. In all the species, male flower buds bursted earlier than the vegetative bud, whereas, female flower buds bursted after the emergence of leaves. Unisexual flowering occurs between February and April in both male & female, and the dispersal of seeds reported in late May or early June. Most of the pollen grains exhibited reddish colour. The fruits are capsule shaped, splits into 3or 4 parts, and release cotton like seeds, which are viable for only a short period. Poplar mostly regenerates from seed under natural conditions, but are also capable of asexual or vegetative reproduction under artificial conditions. The male and female plant produces a significant number of hybrids seeds; resulting in an excellent growth of the plants. The species displayed cross-pollination characteristics. The information documented in the current literature will be quite useful to understand the reproductive characteristics of the Populus deltoides.

Food is indispensable for fulfilling the nutritional requirements of living beings. The principal source of food, nutrition and feed are horticultural commodities. Grains, pulses, fruits, vegetables, flowers, ornamental plants and medicinal plants are just a few of the important horticulture crops that are widely grown as cash crops by farmers and to meet these needs. However, eventually, horticulture crops are facing major challenges to enhance the productivity of field crops due to changes in environmental conditions. Crops are affected by many environmental stresses including both biotic as well as abiotic. Environmental stresses affect the overall growth, development, physiology and metabolism of plants which leads to the loss of crop quality produce and yield. Old approaches to decipher the mechanism of stress management and overall improvement in plants are involved with tedious experiments, long breeding programs and different cultivation environments. With the advancement in the field of bioinformatics and next-generation sequencing technologies, it has become possible to study the molecular mechanisms of plants coping with stresses. It is the need of the hour to investigate the mechanism of stress tolerance in economically important horticultural crops. This area has sought the attention of horticulturists as many regions are under the spell of environmental alterations and climate change. Thus, this review takes up the genetic and epigenetic aspects of stress management in high-value horticultural fruit and vegetable plants.
