Review Paper of the Rich Floral and Faunal Diversity in Chhattisgarh, India
Abstract: Chhattisgarh, a state in central India, is renowned for its rich biodiversity, encompassing a wide variety of plants and animals. This review highlights the critical role that sacred groves—small, often isolated forest patches preserved by local communities—play in maintaining this biodiversity. These groves are repositories of genetic diversity and serve as sanctuaries for numerous species, many of which are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation. However, the integrity of these …

Plant Growth Promotion: Role of Nanoparticles and Soil Microorganisms
Abstract: Crops intended to support rapidly expanding populations often face numerous harsh environmental conditions. Despite the natural evolution of plants in response to changing environments and ongoing efforts to engineer resistant varieties using the latest research advancements, food scarcity remains a challenge. Cultivating rhizosphere microorganisms presents an alternative strategy for enhancing plant growth and development. Moreover, engagements between flora and microbes influence both flora’s well-being and soil productivity. Autonomous soil bacteria, …

Breeding Strategies of Self Pollinated Crop with Special Emphasis on Hybrid Rice: Present and Future Perspectives
Abstract: AbstractDevelopment of hybrid cultivar in crop plants is a remarkable success of plant breeding. Hybrid breeding technology is greatly applied in cross pollinated crop and is limited in autogamous self pollinated crop due to strict genetic makeup of plant and floral biology. Development of genetic male sterility system in various crop plants has overcome the problem of tedious hand emasculation. Cytoplasm genetic male sterility has been widely applied in hybrid …

Development of Polymer-based Mulch Films for Disease Suppression
Abstract: Gerbera jamesonii [Gerbera daisy) is a popular flowering plant susceptible to various microbial diseases. This paper explores disease control strategies for gerberas, focusing on the potential of novel polymer-based mulch films. Conventional mulching practices offer benefits in gerbera cultivation, including weed suppression that helps control pathogens. However, limitations associated with traditional mulch materials necessitate exploring alternative solutions. This study investigates the development of biodegradable polymer-based mulch films specifically designed for …
