A Glimpse On Plant Sciences

"A GLIMPSE ON PLANT SCIENCES" is designed to cater the need of agricultural graduates and post graduates by providing sufficient supplemental information for competitive examinations such as JRF, SRF AND ICAR–ASRB NET Examinations. The book covers all the areas of plant sciences viz., Genetics and Plant Breeding, Biotechnology, Seed science and technology, Plant Pathology and Agricultural Microbiology. It provides an understanding of the subject covering important areas of the topics for students preparing various competitive examinations. To fulfill the asaid aims an attempt was made to present the subjects in detail as per the requirements of students of all the universities. For convenience the book is furnished in various sections. The book deals with the fundamental facts in the field of plant sciences briefing introduction of various cell organelles and their functions, cell division, Mendelian genetics, Cytogenetics, plant breeding methods, breeding of field crops, seed science and molecular genetics aspects. Plant pathology dealing with various crop diseases, their casual organisms, epidemiology, diagnosis and detection and management of plant diseases were dealt. The basics of agricultural microbiology were also covered briefly keeping JRF and other competitive examinations in view. Scientists and their contributions have been thoroughly covered in various sections of plant sciences. We hope that the book will fulfil the desires of the students preparing various competitive examinations. We are thankful to everyone for the support in bringing out this book. Your suggestions are highly welcome for further improvement of the book.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Book Contains 20 Articles On The Varied Aspects Of Plant Sciences. Articles On The Application Of Biotechnology Includes Gene Cloning Vectors, Edible Vaccines, Am Fungal Biotechnology, In Vitro Production Of Alkaloids, Micropropagation Of Ornamental Plants And In Vitro Morphogenetic Studies. Topics Covering Carbon And Fatty Acid Metabolism In Oilseed, Sensing Mechanism In Plants, Herbicides As Growth Substances And Plant Responses Under Water Stress Have Been Included To Project Their Importance. Articles On Aeromycological Survey, Impact Of Air Pollution On Lichens, Morphology Of Dwarf Shoots And Phylogeny Of The Pentoxyleae, Current Information About Bioinformatics, Intellectual Rights And Management Of Phytonematodes, Etc. Have Added To The Value Of The Book.

Excerpt from Glimpses Into Plant-Life: An Easy Guide to the Study of Botany It has been my aim in the little volume I now venture to send forth to my young friends, known and unknown, to supply this deficiency. I want to enable them to share the joy of spending hours in a garden learning to understand the structure of plants. I want to make them able, when they see a bud, or a root, or a twig, to know what the history of that object is, how it comes to have the shape it takes, how it deve into its present condition, and what its next form will be.
