Calamus travancoricus Bedd. ex Becc. is a dioecious rattan species of commercial importance used in the furniture and handicraft industry. In order to develop genetic improvement and restoration programmes, it is essential to identify sex at seedling stage. In the present study, we have identified molecular markers linked to sex determination using RAPD markers. Of the twenty random primers standardised, the primer OPAU 02 yielded a unique amplicon specific to female genotypes. It is feasible to identify sex at the early stages of plant life, which is beneficial for improving further breeding programs in C. travancoricus.

During the investigation on diseases of important tree species we came across the disease caused by phytoplasma with symptoms of typical witches’ broom phenotype in economically important bamboo species in south India. Severe incidence of this disease to the extent of 15% was observed in economically important bamboos like Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss at Marayoor (Kerala) and in Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees, D. stocksii (Munro.) and D. asper (Schult.) Backer in Nallal (Karnataka). The diseased culms showed bending due to weight and in many cases it showed burnt appearance and different states of dyeing. Further it attracts the infestations of termites and the extent of drying may stimulate catching of fire. As this disease was found spreading on economically important bamboos of south India, early diagnostic accreditation of the disease along with management of insect vectors will help to reduce their exposure to witches’ broom disease.
在对重要树种病害的调查中,我们在印度南部重要经济树种中发现了具有典型“女巫扫帚”表型的植原体病。在竹(L.)等具有重要经济价值的竹子中,该病的发病率高达15%。在喀拉拉邦的Marayoor和在Roxb.的Dendrocalamus strictus。Nees, D. stocksii(门罗)和D. asper(舒尔特)卡纳塔克邦纳拉尔的支持者。患病茎秆因重量而弯曲,许多茎秆表现出烧焦的外观和不同程度的染色。此外,它吸引了白蚁的侵扰,干燥的程度可能会刺激着火。由于发现这种疾病在印度南部具有重要经济意义的竹子上传播,因此对该疾病进行早期诊断认证以及对昆虫媒介进行管理将有助于减少他们接触到女巫帚病。

The fever and headache are the most common diseases in human beings, and still, they are the cause of a large number of human deaths around the world. Historically, these diseases have been treated by using plant species. The present study, therefore, attempts to document plant use for treatment of fever and headache in the Uttarakhand state of India.

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of pre-sowing treatments on germination of Abies spectabilis commonly called as “Talispatra” - an important high level conifer of Western Himalayan region. The seeds of Abies spectabilis collected from Kalabagh near Churdhar area of Shimla district (H.P.) were given different pre-sowing treatments of cold moist stratification in sand for 1 to 4 weeks and control (untreated seeds) to study their effect on germination behaviour and seedling vigour index. Significant differences were observed in germination per cent and seedling vigour index of seeds subjected to different pre-sowing treatments. The maximum germination per cent (42.00%) was recorded in seeds treated with cold moist stratification treatment in sand for 1 week followed by 36.00 per cent germination recorded for control (untreated seeds). The minimum germination per cent (19.50%) was recorded in seeds treated with cold moist stratification treatment in sand for 4 weeks. The findings of the present investigation revealed that Abies spectabilis seeds do not possess any dormancy and the poor germination is primarily due to presence of large number of empty seeds.

The Rudraksha beads are traditionally used as prayer beads in Hinduism (especially Shaivism) throughout India. Apart from the religious importance, medicinal, bio-magnetic and electrical properties of the Rudraksha beads have also been reported. This commodity is in high demand from the devotees across the world. Therefore, this is in trade throughout the country and abroad. The recent trends in import and export of Rudraksha beads in India have been described in the present article, considering scant publications on this aspect.
