Plant genetic resources are the key component of any agricultural production system. In recent years the growing awareness and concern on promotion of plant genetic resources activities in the national context makes it obligatory that we should have relevant literature on this discipline. The present book ‘Plant Genetic Resources-An Overview’ incorporates review and research articles on varied aspects of plant genetic resources.
This volume contains ...
The physio-chemical basis of biological systems and the control of their development and interactions are being unraveled in spectacular advances in molecular biology. During the past few decades both basic and applied aspects of biotechnology have developed rapidly. Genetic engineering provides great promise for the improvement of crop plants. The successful application of biotechnological tools will require reliable, high levels of transgene expression and ...
Plant Physiologist have to give serious thought on the shortfall of grain production, and have to be more active for finding constraints in low productivity for agricultural, horticultural and forest species especially in the comparison of other countries. In the new millenium, we will have to produce more food and other agricultural commodities under the conditions diminishing per capita arable land and irrigation water resources and fast expanding biotic ...
Plant diseases have affected the existence, growth and productivity of all kinds of plants. Plant disease epidemics make it evident that they affected not only the concerned countries but also other countries of the world. For plant disease management there should be integration of all methods directed in favour of the host, against the pathogen and for the modification of the environment.
The present book Plant Health Management contain 22 articles covering ...

Ethnobotany in the wider context denotes the entire realm of useful relationship between plants and man. The traditional communities the world over are treasure trove of accumulated knowledge and wisdom about the management and utilization of various plants and other materials around him. It is now well recognized that traditional wisdom and knowledge on the utilization of biological resources is on immense value to biodiversity planners and scientist in ...
Biological control has become an alternate and most important of plant disease management as chemical pesticides possess adverse effect on environment and human health. Biocontrol agents are useful organisms that reduce the adverse effects of phytophathogens and enhance positive response in the plant. Judicious use of biocontrol agents can significantly reduce use and subsequently cost of pesticides and thereby contribute to sustainable development of ...
