Sandalwood Cultivation and Utilisation by Dr. Vu Van Thoai,Dr. Ashutosh Srivastava,M Srinivasa Rao IFS Pdf
Santalum album L. (East Indian Sandalwood) is a medium sized semi-parasitic tree which can reach to a height of 33 to 66 feet in height. It is called as a miracle tree because of its immense uses in trade and traditional form of medicine in South East Asia. As it is semi parasitic in nature it prefers to “extract” nutrients from the roots of nearby plants by using haustoria. Essential oils of sandalwood have antispasmodic (relieve spasm of muscles), antibacterial (kill bacteria) and antiviral (kill viruses) properties. Sandalwood is used in treatment of inflammation, skin disorders, rashes, cough, fever, flu, hypertension and restlessness. Essential oils are used to improve functioning of liver, heart and stomach and to strengthen the gums of teeth and muscles. The fragrant oil from the wood is one of the choicest perfumery material in the world and is recently reported to be highly effective in treatment of breast cancer too. It is mentioned in ancient scriptures of and various ASEAN countries that every part of sandalwood is used for some or the other benefit of human beings. This book is a compilation of information published in scientific journals regarding the cultivation and utilisation of this wonder tree. The chapters in the book contain a wide array of information regarding its distribution, uses, diversity, nursery techniques, plantation technology, insects and pests in plantation, harvesting and utilisation of sandalwood. It is expected that the book shall provide a ready to refer information for people interested in Sandalwood cultivation in ASEAN countries and world over.

The reader is taken on a mystical odyssey whereby the ordinary human consciousness realizes the Divine. Based on the personal experiences of such acknowledged saints: St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, Jeanne Guyon and others from both East and West, the seeker is guided through the four stages of the Mystic Path. For most individuals in the beginning it is a minefield of the self, or as some would have it, As sharp as a razor's edge. The Buddha proclaimed that pain on this earth is as copious as rain. But by no means is our story fixated on pain; the spiritual joys and ecstasies experienced by our saints with a first-hand knowledge of them, provide an undeniable inspiration for most people with a spiritual interest. Both pleasure and pain are inextricably linked they tell us, and the object of spiritual practice is to realize our own Divinity by transcending them As the modern sage, Ramakrishna, a major contributor to our story once remarked, We need one thorn to remove the thorn in the finger and when the thorn is removed both can be thrown away. Swami Vivekananda, Ramakrishna's renowned disciple and his messenger to the West, provides us with the highest non-dual Vedic philosophy to broaden the dualism of the Western mystics without invalidating their message, but empowering it, because his goal was to prove that all religions stem from a single root. Succinctly, the Swami puts the human spiritual dilemma in a nutshell. The soul or Self must gain through experience its godly nature of perfection. The Atman does not love; it is love itself, It doesn't exist, it is existence itself. By identifying itself with the mind and the world, it thinks itself miserable.

Plant Cell Culture in Crop Improvement by Kenneth Giles Pdf
The current and potential importance of plant tissue culture techniques in crop improvement is hard to overemphasize. There are few areas where these techniques will have more possible im pact than in tropical agriculture, where the availability of high productivity varieties is sadly lacking in many species. The potential for the rapid, clonal propagation of elite individuals and the use of controlled multiline planting could have a major effect on crop yield and disease resistance in many areas of the world. This volume is a collection of papers presented at the Con ference on "Crop Improvement Through Tissue Culture", held at the Base Institute, Calcutta, India in December 1981. It attempts to bring together local research workers, familiar with the agri cultural resources of the area and tissue culture and molecular 4 level workers. It was the hope of the conference that the "cross fertilization" of ideas would lead to new approaches and activity in this area. The editors trust that this collection of papers will stimu~ late interest and research in the tissue culture and improvement of crop plants everywhere. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The symposium from which the papers in this book are drawn was held at Bose Institute, Calcutta on December 6 to December 10, 1981.
A blend of history, science, philosophy, and environmentalism, The Tree is an engaging and elegant look at the life of the tree and what modern research tells us about their future. There are redwoods in California that were ancient by the time Columbus first landed, and pines still alive that germinated around the time humans invented writing. There are Douglas firs as tall as skyscrapers, and a banyan tree in Calcutta as big as a football field. From the tallest to the smallest, trees inspire wonder in all of us, and in The Tree, Colin Tudge travels around the world—throughout the United States, the Costa Rican rain forest, Panama and Brazil, India, New Zealand, China, and most of Europe—bringing to life stories and facts about the trees around us: how they grow old, how they eat and reproduce, how they talk to one another (and they do), and why they came to exist in the first place. He considers the pitfalls of being tall; the things that trees produce, from nuts and rubber to wood; and even the complicated debt that we as humans owe them. Tudge takes us to the Amazon in flood, when the water is deep enough to submerge the forest entirely and fish feed on fruit while river dolphins race through the canopy. He explains the “memory” of a tree: how those that have been shaken by wind grow thicker and sturdier, while those attacked by pests grow smaller leaves the following year; and reveals how it is that the same trees found in the United States are also native to China (but not Europe). From tiny saplings to centuries-old redwoods and desert palms, from the backyards of the American heartland to the rain forests of the Amazon and the bamboo forests, Colin Tudge takes the reader on a journey through history and illuminates our ever-present but often ignored companions.
