Abstract
The stability of some morphological and biometric characteristics of ‘Nonpareil’ almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb, syn. P. amygdalus Batsch.] pollen was evaluated to determine its usefulness in distinguishing among different cultivars. The influence of rootstock, irrigation, geographical location, and year on pollen grain size and pollen ultrastructural microsculpture was followed. No parameter was influenced by irrigation or rootstock, but grain size and pore diameter class distribution were significantly different for the years and localities studied.
changes of leaf L:W ratio in response not only to ADT, but to day/night temperatures clearly show the diurnal thermoregulation of plant morphology. The smaller leaf L:W ratio at lower temperatures is in agreement to that observed by Lin and Lee (1988
strategy for urban landscape development. In a saline environment, morphological and physiological processes in plants are disturbed, leading to an inhibition of growth ( Alvarez and Sanchez-Blanco 2014 ). High concentrations of salts in soil or water
advancement. A large variation in tree architecture and other morphological characters was found in different fruit species, for example, apple ( Lespinasse, 1977 ), pear ( Sansavini and Musacchi, 1994 ), and peach ( Scorza, 1984 ). Implementation of these

studies have catalogued the morphological diversity because the crop is hard to establish and maintain ( Tangarife et al., 2009 ). However, molecular studies with easily extracted DNA have been common, with various types of genetic markers showing that
temperature above the plant canopy was maintained the same under all the treatments to minimize temperature effects on plant growth and morphology. Canopy air temperature measured was between 0.5 and 0.7 °C higher in the HPS treatment presumably as a result of
resources for wildlife across multiple seasons in human-dominated landscapes, providing refuge in spaces between natural areas. Studying differences in floral morphology and nectar production among native plants and their cultivars provides empirical
estimates, se s of the estimate, and lower and upper confidence intervals for all random terms in the model used for estimating heritability of morphological traits from fruit evaluations from all maternal half-sib families. Variance resulting from year was
