Download or read book Pathogenic Diseases of a Wonder Plant Seabuckthorn in Garhwal Himalayas and their Biocontrol written by Dr Nivedita Sharma and published by EduBubs Publishing House. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The northern part of India harbours a great diversity of medicinal plants because of the majestic Himalayan range. So far about 8000 species of angiosperms, 44 species of gymnosperms and 600 species of pteridophytes have been reported in the Indian Himalaya, of those 1748 species are known as medicinal plants. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 80% of the population of developing countries relies on traditional medicines, mostly plant drugs, for their primary health care needs. Medicinal plants traditionally occupied an important position in rural and tribal lives of India and are considered as one of the most important sources of medicines since the dawn of human civilization. Seabuckthorn is a general term given to the deciduous shrub tree Hippophae Linn. It is one of the most magical plant resources with higher value of economy and ecology. Not only this, the plant is equally important for firewood, fodder and serves as a variety of purposes including properties in the Indian Himalayan Region in general and in dry habits in particular. Seabuckthorn plants collected and exploited unscientifically from Uttarakhand due to its use as food, medicines and cosmetics. It is also known as “wonder plant” due to its multifarious benefits. Therefore, Seabuckthorn should serve as a measure to safeguard medicinal and nutritional plants, to conserve biodiversity and environment and to generate sustainable income source for local people. Despite although there are a few reports available regarding the pathological aspect of Hippophae spp. in India, but there is no systematic study on distribution and severity of diseases occurring on Hippophae salicifolia D. Don in Uttarakhand. Hence, a systematic study was undertaken on the occurrence of diseases on Seabuckthorn plant which are responsible for negatively affecting its yield and quality and to search for effective biocontrol agents from the rhizosphere of the host plant. Diseases and insects are the major factors affecting the success of Seabuckthorn cultivation. At present, few pests and diseases on Hippophae salicifolia have been reported. Control measures depend on proper identification of diseases and their causal agents. Proper disease diagnosis is therefore vital as without proper identification of the disease and the disease causing agent, disease control measures are waste of time and money and can lead to further plant losses. Additionally, the intensive use of fungicides for the control of diseases has resulted in the accumulation of toxic chemical which are hazardous to human beings and to the environment. The increasing awareness of fungicide related hazards has emphasized the need for adopting a safer biological method and very little work has been done to search for microbial antagonists which could serve as biocontrol agents against diseases of Hippophae salicifolia. Therefore, considering the paucity of knowledge coupled with the manifold medicinal, socio-economic as well as ecological significance of Seabuckthorn in Himalayan regions, the present investigation was framed. A total of five diseases have been successfully identified alongwith the confirmation of causal fungal agents. Though there were several other fungal species isolated and identified from the seabuckthorn eco-climate but only thirteen species were finally confirmed to cause above five diseases. Thus, it becomes a part of maiden studies on this magical plant of Himalayan region which is seeking more attention for further investigation. Treatment of valuable plant wealth is possible through the use of various pesticides, insecticides and other chemicals. But chemical treatments are not ecofriendly and, therefore, effective bio-control mechanisms have some hope to treat such plants in a healthy vision. Therefore, in this study efforts were also being made in this piece of research to find out some microbial antagonist among the isolated rhizospheric mycoflora that could act as bio-control agents against isolated pathogens. For this purpose, Trichoderma harzianum was screened out for its antagonist ability against different pathogens. Fortunately, it proved to be a success acting as strong antagonist against the pathogens. To conclude, this preliminary study on the Seabuckthorn pathogens and biocontrol agent is a small effort in the natural habitats of fragile Himalayan ecosystems but nonetheless, opens new horizons of research in this challenging area of biological sciences. Further, isolation of some newly recorded fungi from Seabuckthorn associated climate makes the study more interesting and opens the doors for new researchers in such a diverse habitats.

Download or read book Natural Antimicrobial Agents written by Jean-Michel Mérillon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Documenting the latest research in the field of different pathogenic organisms, this book presents the current scenario about promising antimicrobials in the following areas: Part I. Plants as source of antibacterials, Part II. Naturally occurring antifungal natural products, Part III. Antiparasitic natural products, Part IV. Antiviral natural products. Renowned scientists from the globe have been selected as authors to contribute chapters. Use of plants for various ailments is as old as human civilization and continuous efforts are being made to improve medicinal plants or to product their bioactive secondary metabolites in high amounts through various technologies. About 200,000 natural products of plant origin are known and many more are being identified from higher plants and micro-organisms. Some plants based drugs are used since centuries and there is no alternative medicine for many such drugs as cardiac glycosides. Drug discovery from medicinal plants or marine micro-organisms continues to provide an important source of new drug leads. Research on new antibacterials represents a real and timely challenge of this century, particularly for the treatment of infections caused by clinical isolates that show multidrug resistance. The main microorganisms involved in the resistance process have been identified and given the acronym ESKAPE for Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacteriaceae. Multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis including highly drug-resistant strains (XDR-TB) has also emerged as one of the most important clinical challenges of this century. Plants of diverse taxa and marine micro-organisms are rich source of these antimicrobials. An attempt has been made to compile the recent information about natural sources of antibacterials and their sustainable utilization. Increased panic of these pathogens warrants a growing demand for research to undertake the threat of multidrug resistance. The search for new antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral natural products is far from devoid of interest. According to the WHO report in 2013, malaria still represents some 207 million cases worldwide and more than 3 billion of people are still exposed to this risk. Similarly, about 350 million people are considered at risk of contracting leishmaniasis. The fight against some viruses also requires that the research on natural products continue. For example, even if an antiretroviral with direct action was recently approved in Europe in 2013, its high cost does not allow to offer it to an exposed population in countries where the cost of drugs remains a problem for a large part of the population. These books are useful to researchers and students in microbiology, biotechnology, pharmacology, chemistry and biology as well as medical professionals.

Download or read book Soil Health written by Bhoopander Giri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers the latest insights into soil health and its sustainability, providing an up-to-date overview of the various aspects of soil quality and fertility management, e.g., plant-microbe interactions to maintain soil health; and the use of algal, fungal and bacterial fertilizers and earthworms for sustainable soil health and agricultural production. It first discusses the past, present, and future scenarios of soil health, and then explores factors influencing soil health, as well as the consequences of degradation of soil health for sustainable agriculture. Lastly it highlights solutions to improve and maintain soil health so as to achieve greater productivity and sustainability without damaging the soil system or the environment. Soil health is defined as the capacity of a soil to function within ecosystem frontiers, to sustain biological productivity, to maintain environmental quality and to promote plant, animal and human health. Soil health is established through the interactions of physical, chemical and biological properties, e.g., soil texture, soil structure, and soil organisms. Healthy soil provides adequate levels of macro- and micronutrients to plants and contains sufficient populations of soil microorganisms. As a result of the increasingly intensified agriculture over the past few decades, soils are now showing symptoms of exhaustion and stagnating or declining crop yields. Exploring these developments as well as possible solutions based on holistic and sustainable approaches, this book is a valuable resource for researchers in the area of soil and environmental science, agronomy, agriculture, as well as students in the field of botany, ecology and microbiology.

This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Necessity is the mother of all invention Management of Oral Cancer” have revolutionized the field of medical profession for long time and now all set to blaze a new trail in maxillofacial malignancy. Cancer being the second most frequent cause of mortality after cardiovascular disease, many patients do survive cancer treatment. With newer treatment regimens and the use of novel biological agents, more and more patients survive for longer periods of time, and many leads airily normal active lives. These patients are seen by general dentists and dental specialists in hospital and private dental clinic setting. The dental professional may be involved in preparing the patient for cancer therapy by screening for treating odontogenic infections. He / She may be involved in the management of oral complications during and after cancer therapy, since with improved techniques for delivering chemotherapy, many patients who have cancer are being treated in their community rather than travelling to cancer centres. More often, such patients are seen by general dentist for routine dental care after cancer therapy. Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Newer treatment of cancer were introduce and recognize as a chief treatment. These treatment modality have been involved in medical and dental field more than ninety years. Chemotherapy typically involves the use of several antineoplastic (anticancer) drugs to treat cancer, though some people are treated with single medications. While the drugs in this family are toxic to cancer cells, many are also toxic to healthy cells, which give rise to numerous side effects. A few drugs used in chemotherapy enhance immune function, while some alter hormonal activity. Chemotherapy aims to eliminate the clonogenic cells completely. The inevitable damage to normal cells from cytotoxic therapy is tolerated by prompt and efficient repair of normal cells, as opposed to that of tumour cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy target actively dividing cells and the two most susceptible stages are the M-phase and S-phase of the cell cycle. Ionizing radiation is used for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. For therapy high energy radiation in megavoltage range is preferred where as for diagnosis kilovolt age energy is used. The radiotherapy is based on the principle that rapidly proliferating cells are more sensitive to ionizing radiation compared to normal cells. This differential cell kill is used for the treatment of tumors. A dose of radiation that is sufficient to kill cancer cells will produce considerable if not permanent damage to the normal tissues. The malignant cells which have a high rate of mitosis are highly susceptible to the action of radiation. However, the normal cells recover but not the malignant tissues. Thus the aim of radiotherapy is to deliver a homogenous dose of radiation to an accurately localized tissue target volume in order to produce tumor control with minimal effect on the surrounding normal structures. Radiotherapy is a specialty which took birth at the end of the 19th century with the discovery of x rays by Sir Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on Friday, the 8th November 1895. This book updates the oral health care professional on how to prepare a patient for cancer therapy and identify and manage short term and long term complications of cancer therapy. Book range from the use of new therapeutic agents, such as keratinocyte growth factor that reduces the incidence of mucositis during chemotherapy and radiotherapy to learning how to recognize infections in patients who are immunocomromised, to understanding the socio – economic costs of oral complications. We hope that that these practical and evidence – based guidelines will be readily accessible and useful to cancer specialist in the management of patient who develop oral complications of cancer therapy.

Download or read book Demineralization and Remineralization of Teeth written by Dr. Shandar Siddiqui and published by EduBubs Publishing House. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dental caries is defined as a multifactorial, transmissible, infectious oral disease caused primarily by the complex interaction of cariogenic oral flora (biofilm) with fermentable dietary carbohydrates on the tooth surface over time. At the tooth surface and sub-surface level, dental caries results from a dynamic process of attack (demineralization) and restitution (remineralization) of the tooth matter. It is essential to understand that carious lesions, or cavitations in teeth, are signs of an underlying condition, an imbalance between protective factors (i.e., those favouring remineralization) and pathologic factors (i.e., those favouring demineralization), balance tilting towards the latter. In clinical practice, it is very easy to lose sight of this fact and focus entirely on the restorative treatment of caries lesions, failing to treat the underlying cause of the disease.

Download or read book Marginalization In History A Study of Rural Women In Kashmir written by Dr. Urmeena Akhter and published by EduBubs Publishing House. This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marginalization is a multidimensional, multicausal, historical phenomenon. There are no general laws to understand and comprehend the complex nature of marginalization. The nature of marginalization varies in different settings. For example, the marginalization of women in Kashmir is not same as in rest of India, though, broadly, they share some features. The religious ideological system, patriarchy, political-economy of a country, and the overall social system have impact on the marginalization of a specific group or individual. Development is always broadly conceived in terms of mass participation. Marginalization deprives a large majority of people across the globe from participating in the development. It is a complex problem, and there are many factors that cause marginalization. This complex and serious problem need to be addressed at the policy level. Marginalization however, has remained to be a persistent phenomena in one form or the other for a vast section of the population despite fast social and economic transition in the society of Kashmir. Against this backdrop the present book aims to scrutinize the concept of marginalization as an interrelated social process, its changing dimensions and socio-political implications of persistent marginalization in Kashmir. This book is an attempt to highlight the marginalization in history of Kashmir. This book will help students and researchers to understand marginalization in history of Kashmir in a better way.

This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wetlands play a very important role in maintaining the ecological balance by acting as pollutant sinks. Besides providing habitat for a variety of aquatic and terrestrial life they are important in maintaining biodiversity and act as recreational hotspots. Due to extensive anthropogenic pressure these biotypes are deteriorating due to improper management. Extensive urban and rural development will further deteriorate the carrying capacity of this eutrophic water body. Wetlands act as transitional zones their socio economic importance is felt at an increasing rate. They are the source of water, food, fodder, fisheries and act as important ecotourism sites besides stabilizing the microclimate of the particular area. Due to unsustainable utilization of the wetland resources they are under serious threat and immediate efforts need to be undertaken so that the conservation and restoration measures may be undertaken before their climactic succession and ultimate loss of water body. Chatlam wetland is located in Pampore area and about 30 kms from Srinagar city. The source of water to this wetland is springs within the basin. It is also a resting cite for migratory water fowl having flying linkage with Dal and Hokersar in particular. However, over the years this wetland is under constant threat due to insatiable greed of humans, pollution and illegal construction and encroachments. It is in this backdrop, this study will help us to understand the present status of Chatlam wetland. It is in this context that the present study entitled “ Water, Soil & Aquatic Diversity of Chatlam Wetland” Was undertaken to understand the problems faced by the Chatlam Wetland and the suitable eco restoration measures Prof. Siraj Yousuf Parray
