Variation pattern and Ecology of Plantago Lanceolata Linn

Abstract

The present study was primarily undertaken to find out the newlinevariation pattern in the plant species under natural habitat conditions and to newlinefind the constant characters not fluctuating under experiments for establishing newlinethe types or varieties of the plant species and testing their validity by newlinemaking thorough cytological investigations and to find out the comparative newlineecological set up of established types in different habitats their response newlineto various soil moisture gradients impact of soil texture and soil organic newlinematter and the effect of light on shoots root ratio and on growth performance newlineand to check the validity of the field observations by growing the clones newlineof these types under experimental conditions The data and the observations newlinepresented in the thesis are a result of 4 years field observations and the newlineconfirmation thereof by garden laboratory experimentation
