Acknowledgements “Al-Hamdo-Lilah” (All Praises belong to Allah, the Almighty, our Creator and Sustainer). With pen in hands, I pause to think that words do justice to express my thanks to Almighty ALLAH for His unlimited kindness. The omnipotent, the Omnipresent, the Merciful and Beneficent who is the entire source of all knowledge and wisdom to mankind. I offer my humblest thanks from the core of my heart to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may Allah place HIS blessings upon Him), who enlighten the souls of mankind with the spirit of Islam and directed them to acquire knowledge, whereas it is. I feel highly privileged to express my gratitude to my sincere and honorable supervisor Dr. Mumtaz Hussain, Department of Botany, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, for his keen interest, untiring guidance, creative criticism and sympathetic attitude throughout the study. Without his enthusiastic scholarly guidance, this manuscript would not have seen the light of day at best in its present form. With deep sense of honor, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Mansoor Hameed, Department of Botany, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, for his inspiring help, proper guidance, keen interest and sympathetic attitude during writing and completion of the thesis. Sincere and special thanks to Dr. Rashid Ahmad, Department of Crop Physiology, University of Agriculture Faisalabad. I feel extremely short of words to narrate contributions by my research mates, Fayyaz Ahmed and Sohail Hassan for my success and scarifying their comforts for my comforts to enable me to achieve this level of education. I would like to say a special thanks to my friend, Muhammad Talha Shafiq whose hard work gave final touch to my research work, without which the present destination would have been mere a dream. May Almighty Allah Bless all of us the wealth of “Emaan” and better health (Ameen). Qurra-tul-ain
