The objective of this research work is to find antagonistic bacteria having plant growth promoting activity for the control of some plant pathogenic fungi. Isolation of antagonistic bacteria from rhizosphere of rice, colonial and microscopic morphology and biochemical characterization were done. For antagonistic activity, dual culture and well diffusion method were employed. P-solubilizing activity was detected by plate screening and Vogel method. Isolated bacteria were assumed as Pseudomonas sp. according to its characteristic. This bacteria exhibited antagonistic activity against eight plant pathogenic fungi. The highest activity gave against fungi infected on green gram (26 mm) by dual culture method and against Fusarium sp. in giving 21 mm of inhibition zone by well diffusion method. 264.20 ppm and 235.77 ppm of soluble phosphate was detected by this isolate. Isolated bacteria exhibited antagonistic activity against eight plant pathogenic fungi by dual culture and well diffusion methods. Its activity was higher on PDA media than on nutrient media. In addition, isolated bacteria also possess P-solubilizing activity.<#LINE#>Spadaro D. and Gullino M.L.

Tettigoniidae is a family of grasshoppers including katydids or bush crickets in the order Orthoptera. Approximately 6,400 species of Tettigoniids are found around the world. Conocephalus dorsalis, Tettigoniidae family, was collected from rice fields of Northern Kerala. It is an omnivorous insect that feeds grasses, seeds and small insects including pests. They are predators on rice field, controlling pest populations. The present study deals with species identification and revealed phylogenetic history of C. dorsalis using cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene encoded as mitochondria. The COI gene of C. dorsalis, 589bp are sequenced and obtained was deposited in the NCBI GenBank.<#LINE#>Thakkar Bhumi, Parmar Suzen and Parikh Pragna (2015).@Study on Diversity of Orthoptera fauna in South Gujarat, India.@International Journal of Pure and Applied Zoology, 3(4), 368-374.@Yes$Mahasneh A. and Katbeh Barder A.

Trees are the dominant plant group of Thattekkad bird sanctuary. To analysis the tree species, we prepare checklist of tree species and to study the diversity we calculated richness at level of genus and species. Our study reveals good results. This sanctuary contains 163 tree species which belong to 111 genera and 48 families. Family with maximum number of tree species includes Fabaceae with 16 tree species. 27.60 % tree species are endemics and considerable percentages of tree species are needed to be conserved. The finding of the study suggests that the forest of the sanctuary stands undisturbed and healthy.  This forest area of the sanctuary could be managed and conserved for multi sectional uses like ecotourism, forest ecology, research and education rather than a Bird sanctuary.<#LINE#>Lovejoy T.E.

Dyes are of two categories natural dyes and artificial dyes. Natural dyes are extracted from the plants or animal source. So they are quite expensive and not available in large quantity. Artificial dyes are petroleum based products and constitutes aromatic rings. Dyes are extensively used in food items like candies, bakery, confectionery, drinks, rice, cooked as well as processed foods. Despite of its extensive use the ill-health situations caused by over-dosed use of dyes must not be underlooked. Multiple disorders are related to the toxicity of the artificial dyes. Dyes are potentially mutagenic either directly or indirectly.<#LINE#>Barrows J.N., Lipman A.L. and Bailey C.J.
