    Morphological and biochemical variations in different sex forms of kodampuli (Garcinia gummi-gutta L.)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1999) Muthulakshmi, P; Sarah T George; Lila Mathew, K
    Kodampuli seedlings segregate into males and bisexuals at flowering. A study has been carried Out to differentiate the sex by morphological and biochemical characters. The results indicated that there is no significant differences between male and bisexual plants in terms of morphological characters except the colour of emerging flush in which pink and pinkish shades were more prevalent in biscxuals than in male Significant differences between male and bisexual trees were noticed with respect to total phenol of young (208.60 nijj/IQOg and 118.10 mg/IOOy respectively) and mature (I397.H2 mg/IOO!> and 794.53 mg/IOOg respectively) leaves. The thin layer chromaiographic profile of phenolics showed one additional spot in male than in bisexual plants, li-leclroprioresis revealed similar banifmy pattern for pcmxidase enzymes in both male and bisexual plants.

    Floral biology, fruitset and fruit development in sweet lovi-lovi (Flacourtia Cataphracta Roxb.)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1999) Sarah T George; Lila Mathew, K; Mridula, K R
    Sweet lovi-lovi, f'lacourtia cataphracta Roxb., is dioecious with male and female flowers borne on separate trees. The male tree flowers two weeks earlier than the female during October and the female in mid November. The flowers in male appear as axillary or terminal cymose clusters while those in female trees are in fascicles. In the male trees, 25 days are required for the complete flower development and in the female it takes 18-20 days. About 19 percent of pollen are viable with a maximum pollen germination of (80.7%) with pollen tube length of (132.6 jim) in 4 per cent sucrose + 0.25 per cent agar media. The fruit development from fruitsct requires 78-80 days. The fruits are harvested in February taking 98-100 days from flower initiation. The shelf life of the fruit is very low and proper harvesting methods and storage devices are required to prolong the shelflifeofihe fruits.
