Though captioned 'Acknowledgment ', may I submit that the
following is my gratitudinal remembrance of all who have contributed substantially to the successful completion of this thesis.
The thesis is a tribute to the able guidance of my Research
Advisor, Dr O P Saxena, who was principally responsible in the first place for motivating me to undertake the research project. That I could freely discuss and debate with him teeny-weeny details even of my research problem is a reflection of the understanding and scholarship I was fortunate to avail of.
Not even once in the entire period of my research work could
I crib about any aspect of the lab facilities! And the credit for this truly belongs to Prof A B Vora, the head of the Botany Department, Gujarat University.
On the lab side my fellow-researchers, as also a number of
professional colleagues, both within and without the Gujarat University, have gladly chipped in with their bits in my research endeavour. In particular, I would like to mention my colleague, mentor and husband Hr Ashvin Thanki for the fountainhead of support, moral and otherwise, that he has been to me all along.
I also would like to thank Dr S C Nigam and Dr A B Karnik,
of the National Institute of Occupational Health, Ahmedabad, for granting me access to their scanning facility.
The monetary support of the Merit Scholarship granted by the
Government of Gujarat was to me also a source of academic incentive.
Personally, I feel that I could not possibly have been
through with my research work without the blessings and cooperation of my parents, parents-in-law and other family members.
