Keywords: DNA Barcoding, Species, Identification, Bamboos.
Abstract: DNA barcoding first came to the attention in 2003 when Paul Hebert ' s research group at the University of Guelph published a paper titled ' Biological identification through DNA barcodes ' . The basic principle behind DNA barcoding is based on the fact that small DNA sequences are capable of identifying different species as well as they are able to differentiate them. This technique deals with a nucleotide sequence pattern of small fragment that is about 400-800 nucleotide base pairs and are used as specific references to which further unknown samples are compared. Therefore, these short nucleotide segments serve as a standard to which DNA barcode of any unidentified or identified specimens can be matched.

Subject: Forestry Bulletin
Keywords: Important, Lesser, Wild Edible Plants, Arid, Semi-Arid Zone, Rajasthan.
Abstract: There are around 30 plant species in arid zone known for their edible use and of these around 20 plant species are known for their edible fruits either raw or as vegetable. They are often undervalued and underutilized. Many of these species are rich in many vitamins and minerals. During scarcity, many of these are used as famine foods. Studies show that Capparis decidua is an excellent source of vitamin A (5.4 mg/100g) and vitamin C (120.7 mg/100g) Prosopis cineraria also contains high quantities of vitamin C (523 mg/100g). The dried khejri pods are called kho-kha and are eaten with delight. Apart from food values these species have also been reported to possess medicinal properties (Singh and Pandey, 1983), viz. leaves and fruits of P.cineraria are used in preparing medicines for curing nervous disorders; whole plant or parts of Capparis deciduas are used in curing asthma ,rheumatism, diabetes, paralysis, as antidote, anthelmintic, etc; fruits of Cordia oblique Willd.

Keywords: Seed Bank, Dynamics, Forestry.
Abstract: Seed banks are ecologically and evolutionarily important in the dynamics of plant populations. Acting as a reservoir of plant propagules, seed banks reduce the probability of population extinctions, buffer against local extinction of genotypes, facilitate the coexistence of competing species and are a major source for the recovery of plant communities after disturbances. Soil seed banks play an important role in the natural environment of many ecosystems. For example, the rapid re-vegetation of sites disturbed by wildfire, catastrophic weather, agricultural operations, and timber harvesting is largely due to soil seed bank.

Abstract: Non-wood forest products (NTFPs) play an important role in the daily lives and well being of the tribal population. In particular, rural and poor people depend on NTFP as sources of food, fodder, medicines, gums, resins and construction material. In addition to local consumption, NTFPs are also important traded commodities on local, regional, national and international markets. Traded NTFPs contribute to the fulfillment of daily needs and provide employment as well as income. From the forests, non-wood forest products (NTFPs) are derived from over 3,000 species. The royalities realized through the sale of NTFPs exceeded Rs 1,000 million in 1985-86 and have gone up since. Internationally traded NTFPs, such as aromatic oils and medicinal plants, can achieve high prices in comparison with NTFPs traded on national markets and, thus contribute to the economic development of the respective country.

Abstract: Bamboos are tall arborescent grasses belonging to the family Poaceae, popularly known for their wide range of industrial uses and has been associated with human civilization from time immemorial. Bamboo has been gaining increased global attention as an alternative horticulture/plantation crop with multiple uses and benefits, providing human beings with various resources. Bamboo is widely distributed, renewable resource, productive, versatile, low cost, easily accessed and environment-enhancing resource. In recent times, bamboo has gained increased attention due to its carbon sequestration potential. At the ecosystem level, the carbon stock of a mature bamboo forest is on par with most other natural forests and plantations. Bamboo is synonymous with tradition and culture of rural and tribal populations and is an integral part of their cultural and social ethos.

Abstract: Most of the carbon enters the ecosystem via photosynthesis in the leaves. More than half of the assimilated carbon eventually transported to below ground via root growth, root exudates (of organic substances) and litter decomposition. Therefore, soil contains the major stock of C in the ecosystem.

Abstract: Many naturally non-durable timbers are used for manufacture of panel products. Such timber and panel products are susceptible to wood destroying organism like fungus, borer and termite. To enhance service life of the timber as well as the panel products, these are treated with preservative chemicals. Most of the panel industries, throughout the world, use salts of copper, arsenic, chromium and boron for treatment of wood based panel products. When properly treated, these chemicals give adequate protection to wood and wood products. Wood based industry also uses various chemicals for making adhesive for bonding veneer to make plywood.

Abstract: Pollution is an undesirable change in the physical or biological characteristics of air, land and water that will waste or deteriorate our raw material resources. Modern technological innovations have increased pollution levels above the self cleaning capacities of the environment. In recent times, one of the major issues in the threat to human life from the progressive deterioration of the environment. The rapid growth of industrialization, urbanization, modern agricultural development and energy generation resulting into exploitation of natural resources for fulfilling human needs and desires have contributed much in distributing the ecological balance on which the quality of our environment depends (Anton and Mathe-Gaspar, 2005).
