This book emphasizes on cutting-edge next-generation smart plant
breeding approaches for maximizing the use of genomic resources
generated by high-throughput genomics in the post-genomic era.
Through this book the readers would learn about the recent
development in the genomic approaches such as genotype by
sequencing (GBS) for genomic analysis (SNPs, Single Nucleotide
Polymorphism), whole-genome re-sequencing (WGRS) and RNAseq for
transcriptomic analysis (DEGs, Differentially Expressed Genes). To
maximize the genetic gains in the cereal/food crops, the book
covers topics on transgenic breeding, genome editing,
high-throughput phenotyping, reliable/precision phenotyping and
genomic information-based analysis. In the era of climate change
and the ever-increasing population, food security and nutritional
security are the primary concern of plant breeders, growers, and
policymakers to address the UN’s sustainable development goals.
Chapters of this book cohere around these goals and covers
techniques such as (QTL mapping, association studies, candidate
gene identification), omics, RNAi [through micro RNA (miRNA), small
interfering RNA (siRNA) and artificial micro RNA (amiRNA)]. It also
covers other genomic techniques like antisense technology, genome
editing (CRISPR/cas9, base editing) and epigenomics that assist the
crop improvement programmes to fulfil the UNs sustainable
development goals. It explores the influence of rapidly available
sequencing data assisting in the next generation breeding
programmes. This volume is a productive resource for the students,
researchers, scientists, teachers, public and private sector
stakeholders involved in the genetic enhancement of cereal crops.
This book dispenses a comprehensive coverage of up-to-date account
of genomics and genome editing enriched smart plant breeding
approaches for enhancing genetic gains in vegetable crops in the
post-genomics era. The main focus of the present volume is to
illuminate the applications of new techniques evolved in the
post-genomics era. The techniques covered are high-throughput
sequencing of DNA and RNA, genome editing, epigenetics and
epigenomics, genotype by sequencing (GBS), QTL-seq and RNA-seq for
transcriptome analysis. Vegetables are the important component of
healthy diet, source of energy and hold a promising position in
building up a strong immunity. Zero hunger and attaining the food
and nutritional security is the top priority of United Nations
development goals. Smart breeding of food and vegetable crops to
fight the challenges ahead in sustainable manner by keeping the
harmony with nature is an important approach to fulfill the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs). This edited book
highlights the modern results in smart vegetable breeding in the
post genomics era and forecasts crucial areas of future needs. It
is an important reference for the, readers, students, researchers,
scientists in academia and research industries to provide them
comprehensive information of innovative approaches for crop
improvement in the post-genomics era and in the era of and climate
change. Even the readers, academia, social activists, and others
fond of reading will get a fair idea of journey travelled so far
and future roadmap for fighting the challenges ahead to meet the
sustainable development goals.
Girish Karnad, an ambassador of Indian culture and theatrical
heritage to the Western world, is one of those rarest creators who
have devoted best of their creative personality in the writing of
the plays and their productions. Karnad's plays are outstanding as
they embody the tradition of myth, history, legend, and folklores.
Karnad's rewriting and remaking of myths and folktales bear some
strong intellectual, emotional, and archetypal angle. His journey
from Yayati to Wedding Album holds a mirror to the very evolution
of Indian theatre after Independence. His plays enable us to say
that there is such a thing as truly 'Indian' theatre which can be
true to its traditions and at the same time highly responsive to
the contemporary concerns of Indian drama. Since his plays contain
certain images, symbols and metaphors from myths, histories,
folktales and legends, they have been interpreted as archetypal
patterns in the explication of human consciousness and the growth
of human civilization.
Return to investors on money invested by them in government backed
avenues have bottomed, which has forced investors to go for
investing their savings in money markets anticipating better
returns. The lack of awareness as to complex interplay of market
forces makes investor fear about the possibility of shrinkage in
the purchasing power of their investment. This scenario gives birth
to the requirement of people well versed with the art of trade or
any firm providing such services. This opportunity has led to entry
of a large number of fund house and consequently also to an intense
competition to grab the investors' share. Thus mutual fund industry
today is not only about managing the funds but also making the
investors believe that their money rests in safe hands. All this
action and phenomenon has forced the players to apply lot of
marketing gimmicks to hold the investors with them. This situation
has made the study on application of McCarthy's Marketing Mix Model
to make an inroad in customers' decision making, a very pertinent
and timely study. The present besides analyzing the same also comes
out with the positions that players, can take to have an edge over
the rivals.
The return to investors on money invested by them on government
backed securities has bottomed as on date, forcing individuals to
go for investing their savings in capital or money markets. The
lack of awareness as to complex interplay of market forces in such
markets, they also want to ensure that the money invested in
capital Markets does not shrink in principle as well as in its
future purchase power parity. The capital markets, where investors
are faced with number of options, with their own set of goods and
evil, i.e., they have the potential to make an individual King and
the other Beggar in single day. Thus the requirement of people well
versed with the art of trade is born in markets. Therefore mutual
fund industry is not only about managing the funds but also making
the investors believe that their money rests in safe hands. As per
researcher, the mutual funds, have amphibian nature, and may be
called as connecting link between product and services on
offerings. This relationship makes way for application of Booms and
Bitner's extended marketing mix of to make an inroad. This study is
focuses on the analyzing impact of additional three Ps of this
extended Marketing Mix.
In course of recent reproductive health research increasing concern
over general health and morbidity status of women is given in
India. However, there is paucity of evidence based research focused
on various dimensions of RTI/STDs. Many epidemiological and
biological studies support the hypothesis that STDs enhances HIV
transmission. So it is necessary to detect the STIs at an early
stage and have proper treatment to minimize the possibility of HIV
infection. Although, sexually transmitted infections(STIs) control
remain important prevention strategy for past few years,
interventions at this level are often less effective due to lack in
perceived severity of the problems affecting service utilization.
Given the common prevalence of reproductive morbidity including
STDs, a cross- cultural comparison of major correlates of young
women's vulnerability to STIs/HIV was made in CHARCA baseline
survey in terms of level of awareness, capacity building, improved
services, support system and enabling environments. Present study
analyses the CHARCA baseline data to find major barriers and
opportunities for early diagnosis and treatment of STIs in selected
Indian states
Self Help Groups as a tool for economic empowerment of people, from
less privileged section of society, turned in a kind of Magic Wand.
Success of Grameen Bank model developed by Mohammad Yunus,
transformed people treated as untouchables by financial
institutions in to bankable. Nations with sizeable portion of
population from less privileged section, also adopt the same for
their economic empowerment. The places which were remote and thus
could have forced government agencies to take some time, found the
helping hand of NGOs. Thus comparative evaluation of functioning of
SHGs, enabled by DRDA vs NGOs; turned in to a topic worth study for
scholars of Administrative Sciences. The comparison of governance
has been based on attributes viz, participation, loans to start
some economic enterprise to earn livelihood in sustained manner,
thrift savings on regular basis, proper documentation of
resolutions, loans advanced, repayment schedule; and enhanced
socioeconomic empowerment of the group members etc. The study
revealed that performance of SHGs having been nurtured by DRDA were
far better and ahead on the attributes when compared against those
being nurtured by NGOs.
Sudden spurt in number of cases of harmful side effects of
synthetic drugs reported have created a radical change in
perception and interest of people; creating a favorable tilt
towards Global Trade in Herbal Medicine. WHO in one its recent
publications states that about eighty per cent of the world
population relies on traditional medicines, largely plant based,
for their primary health care needs. It estimates the present size
of global market for herbal based medicines to be approx. US $ 60
billion and projects, as witnessed by present trend, that same is
expected to touch the volume of US $ 5 trillion by 2050. The
monograph contains detailed facts and their analysis in context to
market overview, global trade, WTO and its impact on herbal
medicine trade, regulatory provisions and suggestions on
promotional strategies for export of herbal medicines in global
perspective. The same has also been analyzed and presented in
Indian context, supported by a quantum of data both primary &
secondary] presented in tables, besides deliberation on challenges
and constraints being faced by Indian Medicinal Plant Industries
and possible strategies to overcome them.
In year 2000 financial markets provided strong cues conveying the
end of the era of United States' economic supremacy. New issue born
was as to who will fill this void. The giants from Asia were
significantly ahead of all others contenders when compared in any
term viz economic, geographical etc. The added advantage for them
was being huge markets with robust economies themselves. The study
therefore focused on tracing the relationship, if any, existed
between the stock market returns and macro economic factors present
in economy. Along with contenders India and China on one hand,
Japan was still very much there. Now issue worth learning was scale
of oscillations in market indices. Researchers' being fortunate
enough to be present at the center stage easily realized even
before the heat started that Asia was poised once again, after 600
years, to unfold into global economic power house. Thus, this study
became the first leg, to start with. Any research conducted at such
times looks more like profiling the history but then, the same is
essential to provide directions for future studies.
