The present book was conducted with two directions of special emphasis: First to standardize protocols for micropropagation of two local cultivars of pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica Roxb.) viz. Calcutti and Hybrid grown in parts of Gujarat. Secondly, to explore the possibility of plant regeneration from the leaf derived callus....

Since salinization of soil is an important worldwide problem, identification of salt tolerant plants and their underlying mechanism for salt tolerance is an important phenomenon in distinguishing plant salinity relation. The biochemical and molecular study showed that there is variability in salt tolerance behaviour in soybean genotypes....

Binary compound semiconductor of (CdS) and copper doped (CdS:Cu) thin films have been deposited onto glass substrates at substrate temperature (T =653 K) by spray technique. Different doped films were prepared using different concentrations of Cu (0.1-2%)....

Over the last decade or so, the use of insecticides has increased exponentially, and some of these are carcinogenic and therefore, banned from usage completely....
