India Preface Modern civilization rests on successful and sustained cultivation of plants and wise use of biological and physical resources. Since time immemorial, plants have been collected, traded and bred for new combination of traits. Plants are important in regulating the climatic conditions. As a component of nature, plants are providing solutions to agriculture, health and environment including climate change, food security and as renewable energy sources. “PSNHE-2018” is aimed at providing a platform for adoption and diffusion of research in the upcoming areas of plant sciences. It will disseminate knowledge among researchers, academicians and environmentalists. “PSNHE-2018” will be precursor to understand specific and complete technologies and chart a roadmap for future. The recommendations of the conference will be communicated to the policy makers in the government and other stake holders, with the aim of taking a step forward in finding solutions and new pathways for future potential medicines and climate related issues. Kirandeep Kaur Hundal Coordinator PSNHE-2018 National Conference on Plant Sciences: Network in Health and Environment (PSNHE-2018) Khalsa College charitable Society Amritsar Message It is indeed a great pleasure to know that the Post Graduate Department of Botany is organizing the National Conference on Plant Sciences Network in Health and Environment on October 30-31st, 2018 at Khalsa College Amritsar. There is a global concern about environmental exposure and its impact on human health. The Heath problems of a country can be properly addressed only through a deep understanding of biology and paying respect to the environment. In the holy Granth ‘Guru Granth Sahib Ji’ it is quoted “gtD[ r[o{ gkDh fgsk wksk Xofs wjs[..” where air has been designated as the Guru, water the father and the earth has been accepted as mother. It is interesting to note that the conference is covering all major areas of research in this field. I hope that the discussions by the eminent scientists, researchers and students from renowned institutes will bring the frontier areas of research in plant sciences onto a collaborative platform and a symbiotic relationship can be established among all the researchers from various disciplines. At this Juncture, I express my heartiest welcome to all the participants and wish a very fruitful conference and comfortable stay in the city of Amritsar. I wish a great success for the National Conference ‘PSNHE-2018’.
