Immunology is the study of immunity or immune system, the system
which is involved in the protection of the body from various types
of infections. When a foreign substance invades the body, the body
evokes various mechanisms to protect itself. To comprehend the
subject like immunology, it is essential to study it in its all
aspects. This book is a unique approach to understand the
fundamentals and emerging trends of immunology in a very simple and
self-explanatory form. The book is divided into twenty s covering
all important areas of immunology which are essential for proper
understanding of the subject. Besides covering fundamental concepts
of immunology, there is a separate on Immunotechniques which are
commonly used in laboratories. A comprehensive Glossary of
important terms has also been included in the book for quick
reference.
The objective of this book is to provide state-of-the-art
knowledge, and highlight the current developments taking place in
biological sciences. The book encompasses topics on prokaryotic
cyanobacteria to higher plants, distributed in fourteen s for the
benefit of graduate and post-graduate students as well as young
researchers and scientists. Subjects covered include molecular and
biochemical diversity of microbes, stress biology, cyanotoxins,
antimicrobial activity of drugs originated from plants, natural
bioactive compounds of microbial origin, detection approaches for
genetically modified crops, genomics and proteomics. The book
provides an insight for future perspectives in particular field
with extensive bibliographies at the end of each . With all these,
this book becomes highly useful and must-read for students,
researchers and professionals in botany, biotechnology,
bioinformatics, environmental sciences, agriculture, molecular
biology and other streams of biological sciences.
The papers included in this book have a broad coverage of the
topics related to new technologies in functional foods and
nutraceuticals, fruits and vegetables and their by-products as
valuable ingredients for functional foods and nutraceuticals,
potential bioactive components from various food sources, trends
and development of nutraceuticals and functional foods as well as
functional food and nutraceuticals as ingredients in the value
addition for health promotion, standardization and quality control.
This compilation helps to overcome the problems faced in exploring
the potential of nutraceuticals in naturopathy and device
strategies to encounter such problems.
This Laboratory Manual has been designed for students for easy
understanding of basic plant pathological laboratory techniques
related with Isolation of pathogen. Preservation of disease sample,
Demonstration of Koch.s postutlates. Study of different groups of
fungicides and antibiotics. Preparation of fungicides. Methods of
application of fungicides. Bio-assay of fungicides, Bio control of
plant pathogens and Identification of some important fungal
pathogens. The book is fully colour book with digitized images have
been made to identify diseases and pathogens with explanations of
new terminologies to enhance students understanding about the
subject. The book will be useful to beginners, students,
instructors, scientists and research workers in the field of Plant
Pathology and Agricultural Microbiology.
This is books covers the entire course contents as per the revised
syllabus of ICAR for students of agrometeorology. Written in simple
and understandable language; fully supported by figures, diagrams,
equations and formulas to help the beginners. In short the book is
a must for beginners in its field
In the entire book efforts has been made to explain the practical
application of modern ICTs for transfer of agriculture
technologies. I have focused on systematic presentation of various
ICT tools with their applications by different organizations. Deep
understanding of modern ICT tools and techniques would enable
extension workers, scientists, teachers, students and researchers
to work efficiently for wellbeing of the farming community. The
book will prove useful and informative for officials of government
and non-government organizations working for transfer of
agriculture technology; teachers and students of agriculture and
allied sectors; Officials of Krishi Vigyan Kendras and agriculture
universities; Scientist and researchers of agriculture extension
and rural development. Overall the book is constructive for
Teaching, Research and Extension in the agriculture and allied
fields.
For all undergraduate courses in plant propagation at the two-year
and four-year colleges and universities. The world standard for
plant propagation and horticulture for over 50 years, Hartmann and
Kester's Plant Propagation continues to be the field's most
complete, up-to-date text on plant propagation. It now contains
color figures throughout, promoting learning and making it an even
more useful working text and reference. It also contains extensive
updates reflecting the latest commercial techniques and
understanding of propagation biology. Like previous editions, it is
organized into paired chapters on principles and practices, so it
can easily be adapted for teaching courses that cover only
practical topics, and for courses that also cover conceptual
issues.
