Habitat and flowering plants

Salsola crassa M.B. is one of the most successful plants used against industrial pollutants. In this study, we selected young Salsola crassa M.B. plants from their natural habitats. Some plants were irrigated with industrial wastewater containing Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn, and others were irrigated with tap water for 3–4 months. Afterwards, the shoots and roots were randomly cut, separated, fixed, dyed, and observed using light microscopy. Structural changes were analyzed by stereology. There were some differences in appearance and structure between the treated and control samples.

Paphiopedilum orchids, the most popular and rare orchid genera, are used as potted flowers and cut flowers. In nature condition, the orchid population is threatened with extinction due to over-exploitation and altered habitat. Reduction in this orchids via large-scale micropropagation is a better option to reduce the wild harvest, meets the commercial needs as well as conserves this threatened orchid. This orchid can be propagated by germinating seeds under in vitro culture condition; however, they are difficult for micropropagation, especially regenerating plantlets from in vitro culture.
