Abstract: A study was conducted to find out the effect of Calcium oxychloride pre-sowing treatment to improve germination of fresh and ten month-old drupes (fruit with seed) of Teak. The drupes were collected from Top slip seed production area and the drupes were subjected to alternate soaking and drying for 5 days at 12 hrs interval, the 6th day soaking in different concentrations of calcium oxy chloride (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%) solution for 12 hrs, compared to water soaking and dry drupes as control. The presoaked drupes were sown in both open and mist chamber condition. fresh drupes were subjected 2% calcium oxy chloride registered improved germination up to 22% against 4% in control in open condition and 20% and 46% germination in mist chamber with 6% caOCL2 for fresh and ten month old drupes respectively, Fresh drupes took more number of days for emergence than ten months old drupes both under open mist chanber condition.

Keywords: Medicinal Plants, Arunachal pradesh, Collection, Conservation.
Abstract: Arunachal pradesh has been identified as one of the "Biodiversity Hotspot" areas in the world. The tribes inhibiting the state recognize over 500 species of plants as having medicinal properties. The authors have conducted field trips in different areas of Arunachal Pradesh covering six western districts during March 2004-October 2005. In this attempt, they have collected 64 accessions of medicinal and aromatic plants belonging to 46 species distributed over 45 genera and 36 families. The local people were interviewed to get the ethnobotonical information on collected material, including live plants, rhizomes, cuttings, suckers , seeds, etc. The collected material were also introduced in the field Gene bank of the NBPGR Regional Station, Umiam (Meghalaya) for their multipliucation and subsequent characterization. The ethno-medicinal aspects of medicinal and aromatic plants, covering their botanical name, local name, habitate, family and uses with active principles, of all the 46 species are presented in the paper. The authors have also emphasized in-situ as well as ex-situ conservation strategies for medicinal plants.

Abstract: Scientific knowledge on the structural and functional characteristics of mangroves and natural processes operating in the mangrove ecosystem is rather poor. Microflora especially fungi paly an important role in the biodegradation in the mangrove habitat. A total of 23 marine fungi including 16 Ascomycetes, 1 Basidiomycete and 6 Mitosporic fungi were isolated from the mangrove forest of Mahe and Dharmadan (Kerala). Lignincola longirostris and Halocyphina villosa were the dominant species obtained. Aniptodera haispora,A. mangrovei, Biatriospora marina and Halosarpheia retorquens were found to be the rare species.

Abstract: The studies on bioecology of Poplar leaf Defoliator, Clostera fulgurita (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) on Poplar were carried out at Entomological Research farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Biological studies revealed that the clones PLI,PL5 and PL7 had no effect on the duration of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults longevity. The egg larval, Pupal stage and longevity ranged from 3 to 6.42, 14.61 to 43.30, 6.50 to 55.50 and 4.93 to 7.35 days respectively. The defoliator had ten generations/year and the time taken to complete a generation varied from 27 to 94 days. measurements of eggs , larvae, pupae and adults varied from 0.52 to 0.59 mm, 3.37 to 41.31 mm, 15.85 to 17.88mm, and 2.87 to 3.87 cm(wing expanse) and 1.53 to 1.55 cm ( body length) respectively. Pupation occured in thin hairy cocoon between leaves held together by silken thresd. Fecundity varied from 268-669 among the clones. Maximum adults emergence and mating took place during 5.00-9.00 hours.

Abstract: The present study deals with the detailed wood anatomy of the 10 Indian species of 6 genera viz. Aegle Correa, Atalantia Correa, Citrus Linn., Feronia., Limonia Linn. and Paramignya Wight. belonging to the tribe Citreae of the family Rutaceae. The results are summarized in the tables and isedtification key has been developed for the separation of all the 10 species of this tribe. Photomicrographs have been given for the diagnostic fearures. The woods of this tribe are suitable for small for knife handles, Penholders, mathematical instruments, house building, naves of wheels, oil crushers and engraving purposes. The woods of this tribe are suitable for small knife handles, penholders, mathematical instruments, house buildings, naves of wheels, oil crushers and engraving purposes. The wood anatomical parameters suggest that the tribe Citreae is a homogeneous tribe characterized by diffuse porous woods; growth ring disting due to marginal bands of paranchyma; simple perforation plate; coalescent aperture in few vessels; fibres non-septate. Almost all type of parenchyma are covered in these species. Rays homogeneous to heterogenous. Prismatic crystals are present in fibres of all the genera except Citrus and Feronia in rays and Parenchyma present in all the genera. Silica bodies in rays and parenchyma in only one genus Paramignya. New reports include coalescent aperture in the entire family. Crystals in fibre of Aegle, Limonia and Atalantia; crystals in rays of Aegle, reported for the first time in this tribe.

Abstract: An investigation was carried out in the summer season of 2002-2004 to evaluate comparative Maize (Zea mays L.) performance under various tree spacing of Poplar (Populus deltoides Marsh) includind control plot (no tree). Increase in distance between tree rows tree rows resulted higher growth in height, diameter at breast height, crown diameter and crown length of tree and grain yield in maize crop. The negative influence of tree spacing on Maize growth and yield parameters was in the order of 8mmx3m<6mx4m,5mx5m,4mx6m. The trend in grain yield reduction in different maize varieties was in the order of "Sartaj ' (35.22%) > ' Parvati ' (26.47%) > ' PSCL-3438 ' (25.52) > ' Naveen ' (21.66%) grown under 6m x 6m spacing of Poplar.

Keywords: Pinus roxburghii Sargent, Half-Sib Progeny Evaluation, Himachal Pradesh.
Abstract: Studies were undertaken to evaluate half-sib progenies in pinus roxburghii sargent at the age of about 12 years. Thirty three families were taken for study randomly out of a total of 58 families planted in the test n randomized complete block design to identify the promising selections to be used in future improvement programme. Eight growth characters viz., plant height, diameter at breast height, current year height increment, mean internodal length, specific gravity of branch wood, fresh weight of spur, dry weight of spur and per cent dry matter in spur were studied. Heritability (within family, half-sib family and individual tree basis) and genetic gains (family selection and within family selection) were also determined. Significant differences in all traits at half-sib and within families levels were observed except for the mean internodal length. Charet Mansu P4 (34) family showed overall best performance and may be used for further improvement work. Genetic gain of within family selection (Gw) was found to be more than genetic gain of family selection (GF) for almost all characters. Most of the half-sib families exhibited better growth rates than predicted by yield tables for pinus roxburghii at best sites which indicates that all the selected families are superior in growth traits.

Abstract: Entomophagy (i.e., use of insects as food) is practiced in many parts of the world including India but the use of insect, as medicine is done in very few parts of the world and we are fortunate that North-East people of India are rich in this traditional medicinal knowledge. Tribes of North-East India have been using several insect based traditional drugs to cure several diseases. Over 500 species of insects are used as medicinal to cure common ailments to complicated ailments in the North-east from time immemorial. Some valuable information regarding traditional medicinal uses of common insects by folk doctors has been summarised.
