Crop growth and productivity is limited by a large number of adverse conditions of ambient environment and soil composition. Among these, drought and soil salinity are most prevalent stresses. In view of shrinking land resources and continuing pressures of growing population in most developing countries, it has become imperative that crop yields are not allowed to suffer on any type of cultivable land. Breeding crop varieties resistant to drought and salinity stress, therefore, assumes great importance. Major limitations to exploiting genetic resistance have been the lack of (i) definition of the level of stress that is relevant to crop productivity, (ii) screening procedures that can be reliably employed for identifying genotypes possessing attributes governing stability of performance under stress conditions, and (iii) Understanding of the processes that have direct as well as indirect relevance to conferment of resistance. This book presents the much-needed information on drought and salinity stress under one cover. s have been contributed by a leading authority and practitioner of his own field of specialization. The book will be an indispensable source of information for students and researchers interested in the subject of drought and salinity stresses and breeding approaches for achieving resistance to these stresses.

Cow keeping and curd making are the traditional practices of rural women. Only this practice is to be channelized in a systematic cooperative mechanism for greater interest and better performance. Farm women can be self- sustained socio- economically by adopting our traditional day's tradition of cow keeping and curd making. The book explains steps need to be taken in the functioning of Women Dairy Cooperatives Societies such as their performance, functioning, organization, entrepreneurial behavior of members & constraints in functioning etc. with the support of research evidence.

This book is primarily written for students of borderline sciences for whom knowledge of the fundamentals of soil science is absolutely essential. These students are, very frequently, confronted with books which are far too foreign in outlook and background, and cannot afford the beginner a picture of the soil that he can view in the light of his own familiarity with objects of everyday life. The intelligent layman who has an interest or stake in the soil will find this book free from technicalities, even an elementary knowledge of chemistry is not assumed. Improvement of soil is the basis of all agriculture and it is hoped that this book besides its text book appeal will help in the awakening of that mass interest in the soil which ultimately must lead to a more intelligent use of nature's most abundant gift to mankind.

The present book "Laboratory Manual of Biochemistry: Methods and Techniques" is the outcome of 17 years of teaching and research experience of the authors. Biochemistry is a comparatively recent branch but the utility and variability of research work and the dazzling pace of its development has positioned this discipline in the forefront of scientific hierarchy. As Biochemistry works at a molecular level (i.e. finer than that accessed by the ultra-modern optical or phase-contrast microscopes) it embraces other disciplines also. Biochemistry has thus strengthened the integrated approach concept and solving biological riddles. Biochemical Techniques are used in all branches of biological sciences and biotechnology. Biochemical experiments are conducted in the laboratory as practical as well as for persuing research. A researcher has to refer to many journals and books before he/she could get to the working protocol for his/her experiment. This book attempts to give often-used methods in a single volume. This first edition is divided into 11 Units. Each experiment includes principle, requirements, procedure, calculation and observations. At the end of each , references for additional reading are provided. Important precautions, warnings and tips are given under the notes section. In addition, there are 12 appendices, which give minute details on basic chemistry, buffer preparations and other aspects required for the conduct of the experiments. The methods given in the book will be useful for conducting practical classes at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in biochemistry, biotechnology, microbiology, agricultural sciences, environmental science, botany, zoology, nutrition, pharmaceutical science and other biology-related subjects. This book will be a bonanza for the research workers since it covers procedures from the classical basic biochemistry to the modern PCR techniques.
