Successful reproduction is the basis not only for the stability of
the species in their natural habitat but also for productivity of
our crop plants. Therefore, knowledge on reproductive ecology of
wild and cultivated plants is important for effective management of
our dwindling biodiversity and for the sustainability and
improvement of the yield in crop species. Conservation and
management of our plant diversity is going to be a major challenge
in the coming decades, particularly in the tropical countries which
are rich in biodiversity. Reproductive failure is the main driver
for pushing a large number of tropical species to vulnerable
category. Available data on reproductive ecology on tropical
species is very limited and there is an urgent need to initiate
research on these lines. A major limitation for the beginners to
take up research is the absence of simple concise work manuals that
provide step-wise procedures to study all aspects of reproductive
ecology. The Manual fills this void. Over 60 protocols described in
the manual cover the whole spectrum of reproductive ecology - study
sites and species, phenology, floral morphology and sexuality,
pollen and pistil biology, pollination ecology, breeding system,
seed biology, seed dispersal and seedling recruitment. Each chapter
gives a concise conceptual account of the topic before describing
the protocols. The Manual caters to researchers, teachers and
students who are interested in any aspect of reproductive ecology
of flowering plants -- botanists, ecologists, agri-horticulturists,
foresters, entomologists, plant breeders and conservation
biologists.
