Abstract:: ... The Passiflora L. (Passifloraceae) genus consists of about 500 species widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions, commonly known as the passion flower. The passion flowers are considered ornamental plants because of the exotic beauty of their flowers and variant foliage. Since their introduction to the Old World, around 1625, seventeenth century, they have been used to decorat ...

Abstract:: ... Subclonal variations play an important role in sugarcane varietal improvement. It is proven that some tissue culture variants are superior than the donor clones in terms of higher biomass, sugar yield and disease resistance. Only limited studies are reported on the tissue culture variants derived from intergeneric hybrid donors and its usefulness for crop improvement. The subclonal populations wer ...

Abstract:: ... Cotton production in India is at cross roads for the past few years. Till recently it was the hybrid that was at the focus but the era of genetically modified cotton has arrived. There has been lot of hue and cry regarding the commercialization of Bt cotton in India since Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) has approved the use of Bt cotton seeds. This study has analysed the economic imp ...

Abstract:: ... Purpose-grown trees will be part of the bioenergy solution in the United States, especially in the Southeast where plantation forestry is prevalent and economically important. Trees provide a “living biomass inventory” with existing end-use markets and associated infrastructure, unlike other biomass species such as perennial grasses. The economic feasibility of utilizing tree biomass is improved b ...
