“…Moreover, paracytic and anisocytic stomata are common in these two species indicating a close relationships among them. In a morphometric study of the genus Senna Rahman et al (2013) showed that S. obtusifolia and S. tora are very closely related as attested by the following shared characters: leaflets obovate, stipules linear, falcate, inflorescence short-racemose, axillary, ovary ribbed, style glabrous, stigma truncate and pod linear or subtetragonous, which has been found consitent with our study. Morphologically S. alata and S. auriculata are closely allied, however, the epidermal features do not support a close association between them.…”

Foliar epidermal characters of ten species of Senna Mill. found in Bangladesh are investigated. Anisocytic, anomocytic, paracytic, tetracytic and haxacytic stomata are found across the species. Anisocytic and paracytic stomata are common in all species. In addition to anisocytic and paracytic types, anomocytic stomata are found in Senna sophera and hexacytic stomata are observed in S. auriculata. Anticlinal wall is straight in S. alata, S. hirsuta, S. occidentalis, S. siamea and S. tora, curved in S. auriculata, S. sophera and S. siamea, and undulate in S. hirsuta and S. occidentalis. Glandular trichomes are observed in S. hirsuta and S. occidentalis, while non-gladular trichomes are predominant in the remaining species.

“…This was evident from the uniformity of leaf shape, margin and veination of all the different varieties of mango examined. Conversely, leaf length and leaf width and their ratio were previously suggested to contribute significantly to species delimitation of Ficus (Sonibare et al, 2004), Acalypha (Soladoye et al, 2008), Senna (Soladoye et al, 2010a;Rahman et al, 2013) and Indigofera (Soladoye et al, 2010b).…”

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important tropical fruit consumed all over the world. So far, little attention has been paid towards the documentation and characterization of its cultivars. Occupying a unique position among edible fruit crops in Nigeria, information on the exact number of cultivars has not been recorded, leading to a lack of accurately named germplasms and cultivars. To gain phenomenal insight on cultivars' diversity, a morphological technique employing both cluster and principal component analysis were adopted. Morphological characters of seven cultivars collected from National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT), Ibadan Nigeria, which includes: leaf length and width, leaf apex, petiole length, fruit length and width, fruit colour and shape were assessed. The results of principal component analysis based on similarity matrix revealed a correlation between leaf length and petiole length, fruit length, width and shape whereas fruit colour exhibited no correlation with any of the other parameters. Cluster and dendrogram analysis based on farthest neighbour, mean character difference and constrained clustering strategy, revealed that mango cultivars are distinctively divided into two groups based on their fruit features: Cluster A comprises Julie, Edward, Palmer, and Kent whereas cluster B comprises Saigon, Madoe and Lipen. This study provides a solid baseline for the further characterization of the different mango cultivars in Nigeria, and will be useful for germplasm management and crop breeding.

“…This method is based on an analysis of existing alternatives using several criteria and provides a complete ranking for the evaluation of options. The method is widely used in various engineering fields (Feoli and Ganis, 1984;Soltanpanah et al, 2010;Rahman et al, 2013;Yari et al, 2015).…”
