Folk Rice Diversity of Eastern India- Hope for The Future Food Security

Rice (Dhan, Chabal) belongs to the genus Oryza (Family- poaceae, 2n=24) is the staple food for more than half of the world’s human population. It is consumed as staple food for about 3.5 billion people across the whole world. Genus Oryza consist of two cultivated species O. sativa and O. glaberrima, and 23 wild species. Among the two cultivated speices O. sativa was dominated in Asian as well as Europe, South America region and O. glaberrima was mostly concentrated into the West African countries only. The Asian rice O. sativa was evolved from wild perennial O. rufipogon and wild annual more...

Biodiversity and Crops Improvement in the Era of Climate Change

The men and women who produce our food; farmer, herders, fishermen, indigenous people and forest dwellers are hit the hardest by the consequences of climate change. So, bringing together experts from all walks of life, this comprehensive book provides the authoritave scienfic informaon on importance of biodiversity and its relaon to crop improvement in the context of climate change. Climate change has negave impacts on soil, air, water, indigenous people, socio economic factors and all biological diversity, and thereby events increasing stress for agricultural and horicultural crops. Therefore, harnessing crops against abioc stress like drought, heat and salinity is an essenal more...

Management of Abiotic Stress in Crop Plants

The talk of the ‘new normal’ i.e. climate crises has become louder and louder in the present era. It is unparalleled to compare the rate of today’s climate crises with that of the last 2000 years. With the increasing population which is 7 billion at present and expecting to increase at 10.5 billion in a period of 70–80 years, the concern for food security is a must as the impacts of climate crises has now become monstrous. The present condition adversely affects more of the arid and semiarid zones of the world. Therefore, smart mitigation and adaptation strategies are to more...

Essentials of Agricultural Microbiology

The undergraduate course curriculum offered in Central and State Agricultural Universities has been revised through the V deans` committee of ICAR. Many of the courses have been reframed for the first time in the curriculum of the undergraduate course. The course entitled Agricultural Microbiology is one of such courses having coverage of fundamental but diverse aspects of agricultural microbiology including bacteriology, plant pathology, soil microbiology, food microbiology, microbial genetics, and microbial biotechnology etc. The book “Essentials of Agricultural Microbiology” has been framed in a holistic view and strictly in adherence to the syllabus recommended by V Deans` committee of ICAR more...

The authors hope this book will surely assist the young minds to crack the examinations in an easy and simple way and more...

Immunology for Beginners

Immunology is the science of resistance, which protects body from intrinsic and extrinsic substances that can harm body, through a variety of biochemical, physiological, humoral and cellular reactions in the body. This an integral part of the body without which one cannot think of life. During the process of evolution, nature has provided this defence mechanism in the body of all living creatures, particularly of higher animals and man that protects them from physical, chemical and biological insults. The antigens when enters in the body of animals is trapped, processed and eliminated by several cells including macrophages, dendritic cells and more...

ELISA and Related Techniques

It is a matter of great pleasure and satisfaction to write this monograph on ELISA and Related Techniques. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a widely applicable and accepted test routinely used now-a-days for diagnosis and confirmation of infectious diseases. It has the same principle and sensitivity as radioimmunoassay (RIA) and replaced the later being less expensive and safe in handling during procedure. In radioimmunoassays, the use of radioisotope labelled antibodies or antigen are hazardous to the health and it requires the costly gamma or beta counter to interpret the results. The basic principle of ELISA is same as RIA more...

Immunological Techniques: Interpretations, Validation and Safety Measures

Immunity is the resistance of the body expressed through various cellular, physiological and biochemical reactions in the body. Whenever any foreign material/ infection enters in the body, the immune system activates and initiates production of immunity against those particular foreign material (infection/antigen). Mainly the immunity developed in the body is either in the form of humoral or cell mediated immune response and is specific to a particular antigen against which it is developed in the body. In the process of disease diagnosis, it is important to either detect the presence of antigen in the body or antibodies or specific T more...
