Outcome:
The sample used was Hibiscus rosa-sinensis pollens. Students learnt the process of acetolysis and study the same through microscopy.
Participating Students:
UG Semester-III Chemistry Program, UG Semester-III Botany Program, UG Semester-III Zoology Program, UG Semester-I Botany
Outcome:
Students learnt the technique of separation of plastidal pigments by Thin Layer Chromatography and also learnt the basic aspects of thin layer chromatography
Participating Students:
UG Semester-V Botany Honours, UG Semester-I Botany Students
Outcome:
The bacterial smears were observed under microscopic field. Vegetative cells stained red and the spores stained green. Few cells with endospores were observed.
Participating Students:
UG Semester-V Botany Honours, UG Semester-I Botany Students
Outcome:
Numerous cells were observed under low magnification (100X). A number of metaphase plates with scattered chromosomes were observed. A particular metaphase plate was focused and observed under high magnification (400X). The number of chromosomes was counted and the plate was drawn with free hand. The somatic chromosome complement of Allium cepa was observed to consist of 2n = 16 chromosomes.
