Seed borne pathogens cause diseases of seed, seedling, and adult plants at various growth stages. Seeds are treated by various means to get rid of such pathogens, physical, chemical, and biological methods are available for treatment. Biological method need preference since plant metabolites and plant based pesticides appear to be one of the better alternatives as they are known to have minimal environmental impact and danger to consumers in contrast to synthetic pesticides. Present paper deals with effectiveness of the plant products against the pathogens. The preliminary screening of a large number of plants is done by in vitro method and the promising ones are tested in vivo. <#LINE#> @ @ Chauhan Rekha Rani, Chaudhary Reema, Singh Alka and Singh P.K., Salt tolerance of Sorghum bicolor     Cultivars Germination and Seedling Growth, Res.

The physico-chemical parameters and the heavy metal concentrations of the effluents were investigated to determine their effects on the water quantity. Metals (heavy, trace and non-metals) contents of the sediments were also analysed to determine their level in the sediments. The lowest and highest mean heavy metal concentration (Cmolkg-1) in the sediment ranged between : As (0.06) and (0.10), Cd (0.01) and (0.03), Pb (0.04) and (0.10), Hg (0.03) and (0.07), Zn (0.03) and (0.08).  <#LINE#> @ @ Delgado M., Bigeriego M. and Guardiola E., Uptake of Zn, Cr and Cd by water Hyacinths, Wat.

Nodal explants of BV when placed on MS medium fortified with 6-Benzyl amino purine (BAP) at 5µg/ml resulted into multiple shoots. These shoots, on transfer developed bunch of roots in presence of Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at 2-4 µg/ml. The methanol extracts of such regenerated in vitro plants along with that of natural in vivo garden plants on comparison were found to be more effective against gram positive bacteria when compared to gram negative bacteria. But the screening of the in vitro cytotoxicity on EAC mouse cell lines responded almost with the same degree of inhibition for the ethanol extract, derived from both in vivo and in vitro sources. <#LINE#> @ @ Anonymous, The Wealth of India, A Dictionary of Indian Raw Material and Industrial Products, Raw Material, Vol- 3: Ca-Ci, Revised Edition, Publication and Information Directorate, CSIR, New Delhi, 526-555 (2004) @No $ @ @ Ghaisis M.M., Shaikh S.A. and Deshpande A.D., Evaluation of immunomodulatory activity of ethanolic extract of stem bark of Bauhinia variegata Linn.

In this study, it has been attempted to compare the efficiency of rice straw and ragi straw at various concentrations to inhibit algal bloom in fresh water. Algae was collected from a nearby pond, ACCET, Karaikudi, India. Rice straw was collected from rice fields, Thanjavur, India. Ragi straw was collected from Perambalur district. The experiments were carried out in five trays of same dimensions were used among which one was kept control. 2g/l of rice straw was found to inhibit the algal growth at maximum rate. This is due to the release of large amounts of chemicals during the decomposition of the straws. The amount of chemicals released during the process may be differing in various concentrations. pH value was also measured during the experiment. The decreased pH values in the treatment were due to the release of organic acids from the decomposition of rice straw and ragi straw. A possible reason behind increase in COD and change in turbidity was discussed. <#LINE#> @ @ Chung J.C. and Chung P.L.

It is an enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of hemithioacetal adducts, which are formed in a spontaneous reaction between a glutathionyl group and aldehydes such as methylglyoxal. In the present study, thirty full- length amino acid sequences of lactoylglutathione lyases from bacteria, fungi, and plants were collected and subjected to multiple sequence alignment (MSA), pattern identification, domain identification discovering individual amino acid composition, and phylogenetic tree construction. MSA revealed that one tyrosine residue were identically found in all analyzed species, two tyrosine, one arginine, one leucine, one glycine, one histidine, one phenylalanine, one proline, one aspartic acid and one glutamic acid residues were  identically found in all the bacterial and fungal sources, one phenylalanine, one tyrosine, one histidine, one proline, and one glycine residues were identically found in all bacterial and plant sources while two glycine, two tyrosine, two aspartic acid and one proline residues were identically found in all plants and fungal lactoylglutathione lyases. Two major sequence clusters were constructed by phylogenetic analysis. One cluster contains ten species of fungi, five species of plant, and two species of bacteria, whereas the other one contains eight species of bacteria, four species of plant and one species of plant was outgrouped from both clusters. The amino acid composition result revealed that the average frequency of amino acid glycine is 7.86 percent that is very high in comparison to other amino acids and an average frequency of is 1.07 that is very low in all analyzed species. In addition, nine motifs which were unique for their groups were also identified.<#LINE#> @ @ Ackerman R.S., Cozzarelli N.R. and Epstein W., Accumulation of toxic concentrations of methylglyoxal by wild-type Escherichia coli K-12, J.

Spirulina pletensis was cultivated in different medium like; zarrouk’s medium, CFTRI medium, OFERR medium, zarrouk’s medium + PGR medium, agitation and without agitation medium, improved VITAL BIOTECH medium. Different temperature, light intensity and pH were monitored for 20 days on daily basis. pH was found in range from 9.1 to 10.1in different medium. Gradually increase in dry weight (dw) was noticed along with the age of culture, 0.40-1.25 dw/l was achieved in different medium respectively. Spirulina inoculated in improved VITAL BIOTECH medium was survived and growth was  flourished, achieving dry weight of 0.82 dw/l on 20th day of cultivation.

It is found in India and many other countries. In India it is found especially in swampy areas and commonly used as rabbit food by the local population. The herbalists, however, use the aqueous leaf extract to treat diabetes in man (unpublished data). The plant exhibits a somewhat periodic efficacy, with its maximum activity being noticed in the month of May. diffusa is used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and cardiotonic properties. It is used in the treatment of elephantiasis, night blindness and coneal ulcers. <#LINE#> @ @ Agarwal R.R. and Dutt S.S. Chemical examination of Punarnava or Boerhaavia diffusa Linn, II.

Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) is the most useful traditional medicinal plant in India. Each part of the neem tree has some medicinal property. During the last five decades, apart from the chemistry of the neem compounds, considerable progress has been achieved regarding the biological activity and medicinal applications of neem. It is now considered as a valuable source of unique natural products for development of medicines against various diseases and also for the development of industrial products. This review gives a bird’s eye view mainly on the biological activities of the neem and some of their compounds isolated, pharmacological actions of the neem extracts, clinical studies and plausible medicinal applications of neem along with their safety evaluation. <#LINE#> @ @ Verkerk R.H.J. and Wright D.J, Biological activity of neem seed kernel extract and synthetic azadirachtin against larvae of Plutella xylostellal, Pesticide science., 37,83-91(1993) @No $ @ @ National Research Council Neem: tree for solving global problems, National Academy Press, Washington  D.C., (1992) @No $ @ @ I.
