The robust nature of Melia azedarach seeds necessitates pre-treatments to overcome physical barriers and enhance water absorption. Natural ecosystems often benefit from the symbiotic relationship between Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plant roots, which promotes survival and growth. This study examined the impact of Glomus mosseae-inoculated soil on Melia azedarach seeds treated with pre-sowing techniques at the Nursery of the Forestry Department, CCSHAU, Hisar in 2019. Glomus mosseae was sown at a rate of 400–500 sporocarps per kg of soil, and its influence was evaluated in terms of physiological parameters, survival rate, root colonization percentage, and sporocarp count. Each replication of the experiment involved 250 seedlings and was repeated five times. Results demonstrated that soils inoculated with Glomu...

stimuli-responsive polymers are having advantage over conventional chemotherapeutic agents with very less side effects, high concentration at tumor site, and
improved efficiency in the treatment of cancer. Cancer chemotherapy have a lot of
disadvantages such as systemic toxicity, non-specificity, low concentration in
tumor site, and ubiquitous biodistribution. At the time of cancer treatment,
multiple changes occur in different body parts simultaneously. To mimic such
changes in biological processes, stimuli-responsive polymers are required to
sense and respond toward these changes in a particular manner. Stimuliresponsive polymers have property to mimic and recognize changes of biological
processes for targeting the specific cancer cells. In continuation of this, stimuliresponsive polymers act at site either simultaneously or in a step-by-step manner to initiate the drug from its very first step to reach the cancer cell. In last decades,
polymers are extremely use in target specific drug delivery to inactivate or kill
cancerous cells. In continuation of this, a number of endogenous stimuliresponsive polymers (redox-, pH-, enzyme-responsive polymers) and exogenous
stimuli-responsive polymers (temperature, light) proved helpful in drug delivery.
The present chapter depicts about the stimuli-responsive polymers as well as
multi-responsive polymers and their significant role with respect to drug delivery
system in the treatment of cancer.

Like most micronutrients, these are not easily available to the plants due to their highly insoluble nature which is a costly practice for the farmer, associated with loss of production. Twenty four chickpea rhizobial isolates were characterized for their potential to solubilize insoluble sources of zinc, phosphorus and potassium. Out of 24 isolates, ten rhizobial isolates were found to solubilize phosphate (41.66%), with a solubilization index ranging from 2.15 to 3.33. Sixteen and ten rhizobial isolates were found as zinc and potassium solubilizers with an index varied from 2.18 to 5.14 and 2.33 to 4.16, respectively. So, transformation of unavailable form of nutrients to available form by microbes is going to be an important approach for sustainable agriculture.

Chilli hybrids were raised from June, 2013 to November, 2013 with standard agronomic practices.The experiments were laid out in randomized block design (RBD). During present investigation, FYM application @ 20 t/ha reduced 27.35 percent fecundity and 20.28 percent of mobile stages of P. latus population. The P. latus population was significantly less (4.52 mites/leaf) in experimental units with FYM application (CD=0.38; p=0.05) as compared to units where no fertilizer was applied (5.67 mites/leaf). This showed that Farm Yard Manure @ 20t/ha was effective as compared to control.

Microbial communities are the essential players of the termite gut due to several benefits arising from them which are useful for their host survival. The termites gut consists of one to several compartments, which harbor predominantly bacteria, protists (only in lower termites), some archaeal species (methanogenic or nonmethanogenic lineages), few species of fungi and bacteriophages which live in mutualistic relationship and provide nutrition by degrading the tough plant biomass. These microbiomes convert the cellulose/hemicellulose into long chain fatty acid to be later converted into short chain fatty acid which is finally absorbed by termites. Digestive enzymes such as carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes), proteases, lysozymes, chitinases, peroxidases amongst others play essential role in termites’ gut for converting the cellulose or other plant parts into nutrients. Environmental biotic factors, abio...

The present chapter depicts about the stimuli-responsive polymers as well as
multi-responsive polymers and their significant role with respect to drug delivery
system in the treatment of cancer.
