This book has been written to eliminate the difficulties of students in research, thesis writing and research paper publication. This book will be very effective for new students entering in research degrees. This book comprises the importance of research, experimental design applications, guidelines to write a thesis/paper and its publication in scientific journals. Present book will create research interests in students with easy way. Students will be able to start their research independently. No such book is available in market that can guide student to start their research with scientific way. Students always feel difficulties to write thesis and have no idea, how to publish a research paper. We hope that this book will play its role to establish research environment among the students.

Abiotic stresses are the main cause of low yield of crops in the world. Among abiotic stresses, salinity is a world-wide problem. This problem is particularly serious in arid & semiarid regions of the world where most of the developing countries happen to fall. Salinity causes not only differences between the mean yield and the potential yield, but also causes yield reduction from year to year. It affects the plant growth directly through its interaction with metabolic rates and pathways within the plant. Pearl millet grains are rich in fat, protein content (ranges from 12-20%) and mineral elements, particularly calcium and iron. Among cereals, pearl millet ranks sixth in importance but it is severely affected by salinity. In this book comparison between two Pearl millet lines under NaCl stress regarding morphology and physiology have been discussed. It will be a useful addition for stress physiologists working in this field. It will help readers to study morphology, physiology and screening of crops under salt stress. By consulting this book, scientists will be able to perform independent experiment for salt stress studies.

Shorttitle;This book provides the scientific knowledge about the use of IAA and N for enhancement of growth and yield of Medicinal Plants. It will provide basic information to researchers and herbalist, how yield & constituents of Medicinal plants can be enhanced by hormones & fertilizers. Medicinal plants are of much importance for human life.About 80% population of the world depends on the traditional system of health care. These medicines have less side effects and man can get the herbs easily from nature. Unani system is dominant in Pakistan but the ethno medicinal plants use is also seen in the remote areas. The indigenous traditional knowledge of herbal plants of communities where it has been transmitted orally for many years is fast disappearing from the face of world due to transformation of traditional culture.
