Important infectious and non-infectious diseases of fish have been amply elaborated along with methods of their diagnosis, prevention and control. Great emphasis has been given to the hygienic aspects in fish production and quality assurance of fish as food. The diseases transmissible to consumers ...
This book attempts to discuss and analyse, in depth, all issues on designs and is a commentary on the 2000 Act. It incorporates all references to the 1911 Act to present a link between the past and upcoming case law under 2000 Act. All the available information of designs including the 1930 amendment to the then design portion of patents Act of 1911 has ben put in footnotes to keep a record. The overlap of designs with copyright law, shape trade marks and patents ...
In the animal kingdom, insects occupy a prime position by their sheer numbers. More than one million species are known and described and many unknown taxa are yet to be discovered. High diversity these wonderful creatures present in terms of their shapes, sizes, colours and functions is truly fascinating. An innumerable number of species of insects are harmful agricultural pests and vectors of disease pathogens in animals and humans on the one hand and on the ...
Plant biotechnology, especially genetic transformation, represents one of powerful tools for the improvement of various important crops through introduction of foreign genes into the plant genome. The present book aims at bringing out concise account of applications of plant biotechnology and role of plant tissue culture in it. The book has four sections. The first section deals with recent developments in use of Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer in some of ...
The four yearly Symposia on Earthquake Engineering (SEE) organised regularly at the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (formerly University of Roorkee) since 1959, have been among the most important forums in India for discussions on research and advancements in earthquake engineering. Offering a flavor of the important event, as it proved to be, this publication (in two vols.) compiles the full and illustrated text of over 125 research and scientific ...
Plant tissue culture techniques help in understanding basic life processes and their proper understanding is essential for improving crop productivity. Besides, recently molecular biology has assumed great importance with respect to plant biotechnology. The present book amalgamates all three aspects into one, practical applications of various techniques being the need of the hour.It discusses micropropagation studies on several crop plants, molecular basis of ...
This book provides a general introduction of plant tissue culture followed by specific applications of biotechnology in regeneration of rice (Oryza sativa), Maize, Eucalyptus, hot pepper, guava (Psidium guajava L.) stone fruit (Pinus pinea) and compares the features of in vitro grown plants to in vivo plants, Transgenic plants production and application, generating marker-free transgenic plants, genetic engineering and metabolic engineering of plants, molecular ...
Large number of transgenic crop plants have now been released for commercial production using transformation technologies. Virus-mediated, chemical mediated microinjection, electroporation, particle-bombardment and other transformation methods are routinely used. However, problems are associated with stable integration and reliable expression of the DNA after integration. Genetic analysis of plants is a basic requirement for studies in genetics and plant ...
This book is devoted to analyzing the factors responsible for the generation of pollutants by sugar and distillery industries and suggesting viable solutions for the problem. It begins by outlining the potential conflict between the demands of productive efficiency in an industry and legitimate concern for the impact of the productive processes employed on the environment and proceeds to indicate in specific detail steps that can mitigate possible damage to the ...

Management is key to success. This principle holds good in every successful Library. Library Management is an important task. It deals with a number of jobs. First, procurement of books; second, categorization and third, preparing a catalogue in different orders. With the advent of technology, this sector too has experienced a big boost. The complex procedure of cataloguing and maintenance of cumbersome files has been replaced by a small box-computer and few ...
In recent years, plant cells are being increasingly utilized as model systems to unravel the cellular and molecular mysteries of nature. The basic mechanisms of developmental biology, cellular and molecular interactions at the cell and tissue level, gene expression and regulation leading to genetic modifications and areas of genomics, are constant areas of research. _ The following areas have been highlighted in this book: _ ...
The present book is divided into five sections. The first section deals with the methodology and bioresource generation, techniques related to genetic engineering and gene transfer to the nuclear genome and chloroplast genome. The new techniques of genome profiling and gene silencing are also present. The second section of the book deals with the classical aspects of plant biotechnology viz. tissue culture and Micropropagation. Use of genetic engineering via. ...
