About:  

On August 28, 2017, Dr Rajendra Singh Paroda, Chairman, Trust for Advancement of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS) and President, Indian Society of Plant Genetic Resources (ISPGR) completes 75 years of age. This book is a compilation of messages, memories and wishes from a few friends, colleagues and relatives of Dr Paroda, to commemorate this milestone day. We had started this project as a small token of love and affection for Dr Paroda, to mark the day. By the time it was completed, we realized that it had turned out to be an excellent collation of historical account of agricultural research, education and extension development at national,regional and global level, where Dr Paroda has been associated in his long and illustrious career. It has woven together the poetry of his life, its peaks and valleys, triumph and losses, blessings and hardships. Importantly, it brings out the enormous wealth of love and affection that he has garnered in his journey of life, by relating to a multitude of people from varied backgrounds.

We are overwhelmed at the tremendous response received from over 200 contributors to this book. To each one, we place on record, our sincere gratitude. The opening remarks are by Prof. M.S. Swaminathan, followed by messages placed in alphabetical order of the first name of contributor. While some editing has been done for sake of brevity or language, the onus of the text lies with each contributor. Also, due to the paucity of time, we refrained from copyediting very critically! A few authors have contributed multiple photographs to reminisce their association with Dr Paroda, all of which could not be accommodated in the book. We thank you all for the efforts, and request indulgence of the contributors for any lacuna in editing. It is also pertinent to say that the book is not an exhaustive compilation of the near and dear ones of Dr Paroda. He has touched lives of so many people, and due to the space constraint, only a small cross section were approached. The others, are no less important.

About:  

All the plants on the earth are supposed to have some medicinal properties. Many plants are being locally utilized for indigenous system of medicine or maintenance of health but utilization of only few plants have been identified and recognized by Ayurvedic, Unani and Allopathy systems of medicines based on their therapeutic uses or the active principles, chemical composition or ingredients. The popularity and belief in natural and herbal health care systems is inseparable from traditional ethos and practices in India. Recent global interest in this area has added new dimensions of judicious exploitation of herbal wealth. The natural bioavailability of these resources are becoming increasingly scarce with disastrous consequences for the humanity. The urgent need is to protect, preserve, propagate and provide these bioresources to humanity for ensuring reasonable health care. Realising this need, the Indian Society of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi has brought out this valuable publication based upon proceedings of UHF IUFRO International Workshop on Prospects of Medicinal Plants. It covers topic ranging from propagation techniques, phytochemical investigations, breeding strategies, traditional remedies to policy issues, developmental strategies etc. The information is useful for teachers and researchers engaged in the study of advancement of research in medicinal plant. It will also serve useful purpose in narrowing the gap between information and knowledge regarding these plants.

ISBN: 978-81-7319-580-8
About:  

Food is the basic need of human beings. The increasing population and enhanced standard of living are placing greater demands on food-related requirements in terms of quantity, quality and diversity. The Green Revolution which significantly enhanced productivity of important food crops, nevertheless, resulted in certain fallouts as genetic erosion, soil degradation, chemical pollution and aquifer depletion. Amongst these, decrease in plant genetic diversity is an irreversible loss. As the basic raw material for future plant breeding, plant genetic resources of foodgrains are the key to future food security. Though, plant breeding has attracted the attention of many authors, plant genetic resources remain somewhat neglected. This book gives an overall perspective current status of genetic resource of important foodgrain crops (wheat, rice, maize, barley, sorghum, millets, pulses and legumes and underutilized crops). It provides a comprehensive compilation on current status of information on origin, taxonomy, diversity, collection, exchange, evaluation, utilization, molecular characterization and conservation for food grain crops. Eminent scientists and crop specialists have critically analyzed the information in view of the present and future research priorities. In addition, management issue related to plant genetic resources are also discussed. At present such information on these crops is lacking and this book fills in the void. It shall serve as reference for genetic resource managers, researchers, teachers, students and policy makers in biology and agriculture.

ISBN: 81-7319-581-1
About:  

The agricultural paradigm is already undergoing a shift in focus from food security towards nutritional quality. Horticultural crops besides improving biological productivity and nutritional standards also have enormous export potential. This group of crops comprising fruits, vegetables, root and tuber crops, plantation crops, medicinal and aromatic plants, spices and condiments and ornamental crops, would constitute core of any such agro-economic strategy. In addition to supplementing the economy and national food grid by providing fresh and processed fruits, vegetable, nuts etc., horticultural crops. also help to promote diversification. Depletion of plant genetic resources in areas of diversity at a rapid pace is a matter of global concern. This book profiles all scientific management aspects of the horticultural crop genetic resources including their diversity, conservation and sustainable utilization. It also addresses vital concerns regarding management of horticultural crop genetic resources from diverse perspectives and provides recommendations for action in certain areas of research that must be pursued with intensity. The publication would serve as a valuable comprehensive scientific reference for breeders, researched students and policy makers in biology and agriculture.

Publication: Narosa Publishing house
ISBN: 81-7319-579-X
About:  

Diversity of the plant genetic resources plays a key role in agricultural development. Systematic identification, characterization, and evaluation of this diversity are a pre requisite for its scientific management. The advent of the Convention on Biological Diversity led to a paradigm shift from genetic resources being considered as common heritage of mankind to sovereign rights of nations. Additionally, the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the new intellectual property right regimes have made issues related to access and benefit sharing of plant genetic resources, a much discussed and debated topic. This book is an anthology of issues pertaining to access to plant genetic resources. phytosanitation and international developments, genetic erosion, germplasm conservation, germplasm evaluation and utilization. national policy on plant genetic resources, action plan and implementation strategies. It will serve as a useful reference to researchers, policy makers, teachers, and students.
