Plant Reproduction 2nd Ed
The present book is revised edition of our earlier book Embryology of Angiosperms and we retitled it as Plant Reproduction as per UGC syllabus. In accordance with the title we introduced a chapter on Floral characters, pollination mechanisms and vectors by Prof. A. Janaki Bai, Department of Botany, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam and revised several other chapters. This book brings together information on the widest range of topics in Plant Reproduction in a single source. Written in a concise manner, this book is ideally suitable to students and teachers of Colleges and Universities. This fully illustrated book discusses plant reproduction in sufficient depth. The text includes Development and structure of anther and male gametophyte, palynology, development and structure of female gametophyte, pollination, sexual incompatibility, development of endosperm and embryo, polyembryony and apomixis. The text also includes chapters on embryology in relation to taxonomy and experimental embryology.
Emerging Trends in Biological Sciences
The book includes 20 research and review articles on various aspects of Biological Sciences written by leading experts. The first article is on M6P/IGF-IIR protein. It is followed by two articles on VAM Fungi. The following two articles are on antimicrobial activity of medicinal plants. Chapters 6 and 7 deal with the toxicity of fungal infections. Airborne bacteria is given in the following chapter. Cyanobacterial diversity is described by Gupta in the next chapter. Adoptional behaviour of Sericulturists is discussed in chapter 10. Spermoderm paterns have been described in the next followed by a review article on Phyto-pharmacology of Plumbago zeylanica. Subsequent article is on Biosystematic studies of Chloris. Karuppasamy et al. give the details of Plant diversity in Sirumalai hills in Chapter 14. Prof. P.N. Rao discusses Taxonomy in the service of man in the following. This is followed by a paper on Freerea indica, an endangered taxon. Conservation of Mangrove forests in Bhitarkanika is given in Chapter 17. Last three articles are on tissue culture studies of Acacia concinna and Bixa orellana.
Bioactives and Pharmacology of Medicinal Plants
This two-volume book presents an abundance of important information on the bioactive and pharmacological properties of medicinal plants. It provides valuable comprehensive research and studies on bioactive phytocompounds of over 68 important medicinal plants with beneficial properties. For each species included in the volume, a brief introduction is given along with their bioactive compounds and chemical structures, followed by their chief pharmacological activities that include antiviral, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and cardioprotective activities. A review of the published literature on pharmacological activi...
Plant Tissue Culture : Theory & Practicals 2nd Ed.
Plant Tissue Culture, Second Edition is accompanied with new exercises demonstrating new arrays along with information on development of a customized protocol for protoplast isolation, suspension, haploid cultures, secondary metabolite production, and cryopreservation techniques. All experimental systems are written clear and easy-to-understand manner with the text being well-documented along with detailed drawings containing the plant tissue culture requirements for each particular application. Besides addressing recent advancements on wide variety of topics of Plant Tissue Culture, it gives the practical and technical knowledge required to train the next generation of plant scientists regardless of their ultimate specialization. It includes the complements of both theory and experiments. Plant Scientists, teachers and students will benefit greatly from this clearly presented tissue culture techniques that guides reader from lab setup to supplies, stock solution and media preparation, measurements, explant selection and disinfestations, along with their experimental observations.
An Introduction to Nephroprotective Plants
The kidneys are a vital organ present in humans and vertebrate animals. Various toxic chemicals, present in food and water adversely affect the kidneys. Plants and plant-derived compounds have been a major source for the treatment and cure of diseases since ancient times. Even today, almost 25% of the prescription drugs for renal problems are sourced from plants. An Introduction to Nephroprotective Plants gives an overview of nephrotoxicity and medicinal plants used for protecting the kidney and reducing the effect of kidney toxicity and managing renal diseases. This book is an answer to the current gaps in knowledge resources on nephroprotective plants. The reader is introduced to the basic...

Handbook of Research on Herbal Liver Protection
This important volume provides a comprehensive overview of hepatotoxicity and medicinal plants used for protecting the liver and for curing liver toxicity and liver diseases. To date, there has been no extensive resource on the plants that are used in this capacity, both in traditional medicine and in modern medicine. This book fills that gap. It presents information on the medicinal plants used in traditional medicine (both codified and noncodified) and in ethnomedicine, including the plant parts used and methods of use and dosages. The phytochemicals extracted from medicinal plants,screened and used in modern medicine for liver protection and curing liver problems, are given in detail, and the methods of screening are given as well. Methods of assay for screening the medicinal plants are also presented. Key features: • Provides complete information on plants that show hepatoprotective properties • Lists and discusses the phytochemicals useful for liver protection and cures • Considers traditional uses and ethnomedicinal plants for liver protection • Details the plant parts and the extracts that have protection properties and the active principles showing hepatoprotection
Frankincense – Gum Olibanum
Frankincense, also called olibanum, is an aromatic resin used since ancient times for incense, perfume and aromatherapy. It is readily available as an essential oil or as a supplement or extract, and studies have shown that it may enhance heart health and liver health and soothe pain and inflammation. This new volume is a comprehensive desktop reference book specifically gum olibanum - frankincense. It introduces the significance of the species and covers the botany, phytochemistry, propagation, extraction, and pharmacological uses. It also discusses the species’ genetic diversity using molecular markers, in vitro propagation and biotechnological aspects of Boswellia species, the trade and commerce of frankincense, and as well as its threats and conservation.
