Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images are highly valuable in different scientific applications because they can depict extremely small entities. SEM sometimes obtained blurry, that such an issue reduces the clarity and hampers detection of important features image. One way processing unwanted blurring effect is to use image sharpening, which aims at emphasizing edges so output appears more significant observer with better-highlighted details. Many sharpening methods exist, but not all efficient as may introduce artifacts, unnatural appearance, contrast/brightness modifications, or be complicated require a high computational cost. algorithm interest generalized unsharp mask (GUSM), avoids generation artifacts many own have somewhat simple structure. Still, when GUSM applied images, it provides sharpness modifies contrast brightness well. This undesirable proper required for information. Hence, adapted introduced this article natural without modifying filtered images. The main contribution study remove enhancement procedure replace smoothing process deliver sharpness. developed AGUSM verified real-unclear its performance appraised against methods, outcomes comparisons evaluated by utilizing advanced metrics. For performed experiments, provided satisfying performances appear acutance look compared original counterparts comparison methods.

Members of Polygonatum are perennial herbs that have been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to invigorate Qi, moisten the lung, and benefit kidney spleen among patients. However, phylogenetic relationships intrageneric taxonomy within long controversial because complexity their morphological variations lack high-resolution molecular markers. The chloroplast (cp) genome is an optimal model for deciphering related families. In present study, complete cp 26 species Trib. Polygonateae were de novo assembled characterized; all exhibited a conserved quadripartite structure, is, two inverted repeats (IR) containing most ribosomal RNA genes, unique regions, large single sequence (LSC) small (SSC). A total 8 highly variable regions (rps16-trnQ-UUG, trnS-GCU-trnG-UCC, rpl32-trnL-UAG, matK-rps16, petA-psbJ, trnT-UGU-trnL-UAA, accD-psaI, trnC-GCA-petN) might be useful as potential markers identifying identified. clock analysis results showed divergence time occur at ∼14.71 Ma, verticillate leaf ancestral state this genus. Moreover, based on 88 genomes strongly supported monophyly Polygonatum. also suggested Heteropolygonatum may sister group Polygonatum, but Disporopsis, Maianthemum, Disporum diverged earlier. This study provides valuable information further identification, evolution, research

Mimosoideae is one of the taxonomically complex subfamilies Fabaceae. Several studies have reported pollen morphology taxa and their taxonomic relevance, but no such study was found specifically for Hainan Island in southern China. Therefore, present designed to investigate selected explore new palynological traits support strengthen systematics using multiple microscopic techniques. The polar axis, equatorial diameter grains, colpus length width were measured. smallest grain size Mimosa pudica (7.8 × 7.75 µm), while largest Albizia lebback (87.54 77.97 µm). Similarly, significant variation exine surface patterns. subfamily considered eurypalynous because traits. In addition, also quantitative Comparatively, features be helpful at genus species levels, as well correct identification discrimination taxa. Hence, this gives a detailed account morphologies certain collected from different geographical regions on Island. morphological proven potential can used additional tools These results will provide basis further systematic studies.

ABSTRACT The Papilionoideae is a taxonomically complex subfamily within the Fabaceae. Pollen characteristics are often used as additional diagnostic features in taxonomy of Papilionoideae. Unfortunately, pollen morphology India remains poorly understood. This study aims to bridge palynological knowledge gap taxa, focusing on Northeast India. In this investigation, light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed examine 10 species belonging nine genera Papilionoideae: Aeschynomene americana , Cajanus scarabaeoides Calopogonium mucunoides Crotalaria calycina spectabilis Grona triflora Lablab purpureus Pueraria phaseoloides Tephrosia candida Uraria crinita . grains prepared using Wodehouse's method; photomicrographs taken describe measure traits. traits such size, aperture number, shape stable traits, while exine sculptures, P/E ratio, between two adjacent colpi (GBC) can differentiate taxa. Most (nine species) had tricolporate except with syncolporate pollen. Medium‐sized was observed most studied (eight species), small‐sized ( A. C. ). Three distinct shapes identified among species: oblate‐spheroidal (six prolate‐spheroidal (three prolate Different types sculpture reticulate, fossulate, fossulate‐verrucate, perforate, foveolate‐reticulate, foveolate‐granulate, rugulate‐perforate, psilate‐perforate. first principal component analysis (PCA) axis showed 60.3% total data variance. Polar (PA), equatorial diameter (ED), apocolpium, mesocolpium, GBC, breadth (ColpiB), P/E, nexine (> 0.7) contribute significantly PCA. Further, taxonomic key has been based morphological characters for correct identification. strengthens validates subfamily's status will serve foundation more phylogenetic molecular research

Pollen micromorphology is not only used to check the functional and structural evolution in plants but also solve taxonomic problem related classification of plants. Therefore, keeping view significance pollen traits, selected taxa subfamily Caesalpiniaceae was collected from different geographical regions Pakistan. The species were then analyzed under both light microscopy scanning electron techniques investigate importance micromorphological characters identification species. Great variation recorded equatorial shape, surface ornamentation, tectum, polar diameter, exine thickness. However, little observed type, fertility pollen. shape five types observed: prolate, prolate-spheroidal, spheroidal-subprolate, subspheroidal-prolate, subspheroidal. Four psilate, granulate, clavate, perforate, recorded. Tectum types, intactate, reticulate regulate, medium reticulate, tactate, striate, observed. Sexine thicker than nexine all studied largest diameter Caesalpinia pulcherrima 64.1 μm while smallest Parkinsonia aculeata 26.1 μm. found C. 70.25 whereas P. 27.57 All pollens tricolporate. have a ratio more 90%. A key developed show features delimit for correct identification. In conclusion, traits useful define boundaries at various ranks will strengthen taxonomy this subfamily. Besides, study explored palynological their implication Caesalpiniaceae.

Herbal medicines are gaining popularity worldwide for human healthcare because of their therapeutic potential. However, adulteration and use unauthentic raw herbals as substitutes have become a major issue the local communities industry reasons safety efficacy. Therefore, authentication medicinal plants before in herbal is need time. Hence, present study was designed with an aim, to authenticate Lamiaceous taxa by using pollen traits observed under scanning electron microscopy. Pollen micro-morphological studies solve problem through discrimination correct identification Lamiaceae species from adulterants. Based on features, were further divided into two sub-families Lamioideae (tricolpate) Nepetoideae (hexa-colpate). The grains found small medium-sized, tricolpate, radially/bilateral symmetrical, sub-spheroidal oblate shape. Besides, exine patterns bireticulate, reticulate micro-reticulate, colpus surface sculpturing psilate, gemmate, scabrate, verrucate also been reported. A significant variation pattern reticulum, thickness, number secondary lumina per primary lumen. Similarly, has hexa zono-colpate but tri tetra observed. this contributes medicinally important microscopic techniques can help problem. Highlights Authentication Lamiceous carried out techniques. Chemotaxonomic characterization used accurate taxa. medicinal, palynological phytochemical significance evaluated. seen that determination species. chemotaxonomic characterization, our reason
