Since this book is geared to be used by varied groups of readers such as advanced students and instructors in the fields of biology and medicine, scientists and more importantly clinicians, it is considered important to provide brief accounts of the basics of DNA damage, repair, mutagenesis and cancer. The purpose of this book is to present an updated detailed account of some important additional diseases of DNA repair. It has not been possible to cover all the DNA repair deficient diseases in this volume, hence diseases such as Bloom's syndrome, Werner's syndrome, Nijmegen breakage syndrome, ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder, RA D 50 deficiency, RIDDLE syndrome and others will be presented in a forthcoming volume.

This book provides the only comprehensive treatise available on Fanconi Anemia. It gives a detailed analysis from the clinical to the molecular levels of the disorder. It also allows insight into the mechanisms of responses to DNA damage, and the complex interactions of several previously unknown proteins. The book will give research students a platform for further investigation, and act as a source of information regarding experimental design.

The rural markets play a significant role in transaction of agricultural produce in rural India. Vegetable cultivation is a caste dominated activity mainly practiced by marginal and small farmers for their sustenance. These markets serve as the first point of transaction for farmers engaged in vegetable cultivation. These markets are links to the urban markets providing fresh vegetables to the urban consumers. They provide an opportunity to the rural people to get maximum returns of their produce through an efficient marketing system. These markets if developed properly, will link the producers to the global vegetable market network thereby, ensuring maximum benefits of globalization to the producers.
