Across the globe the hallmark of any reputed institute is the body of research work being generated by its academia. A need is felt for constant research in various fields so the organizations are increasingly providing the much required support and impetus to their employees to take the plunge related to research. The vision and mission of T. John Group of Institutions have always been aligned with the global views and trends related to academics, research and development. Samyoga, the annual journal published by our group of institutions is in accordance with this aim. It has been our constant endeavour to provide a platform to the researchers and the academicians to share their knowledge through their works with the readers. I appreciate the efforts put in by the editorial team of Samyoga in bringing out this issue. The team has focussed in bringing on board multi-disciplinary papers.I congratulate the contributors of this issue for successfully contributing the fruits of their research for the purpose of knowledge sharing. I hope the journal attains the pinnacle of success with every passing year. Dr. Thomas. P. John (Chairman, T. John Group of Institutions) Honorary Editor v vi Editorial Preface It gives me immense pleasure to welcome all of you to the eleventh edition of Samyoga, an academic journal of the T. John Group of Institutions for both the learned and also the enthusiastic learners. A decade old tradition of bringing out excellent academic research papers from various disciplines by both the subject experts and the budding research enthusiasts. This journal as its name suggests is an embodiment of the ethos and values that T. John Group of Institutions upholds and promotes in its members and stakeholders. With the assistance of an efficient editorial committee which has over the years helped bring out successful editions of the journal has this year also succeeded in harnessing potential research papers and compile them into the form of a journal. It was a well-planned effort by the committee and the result has been an outstanding research journal. A special thanks to our Honourable Editor, Chairman Dr. Thomas P. John, who has been the guiding light and pillar of support in the publication of this journal year after year and for encouraging the team to come out with fruitful editions of it. A much deserved appreciation to the editorial team who have meticulously pored over each research paper and helped compile the eleventh edition of Samyoga this year. I convey my heartfelt appreciation to the contributors who have contributed to the various fields of research through their papers. This journal will perform as a knowledge sharing forum for all the research enthusiasts all over the country and I hope it will kindle in the readers an interest to take forward the tradition of innovation over set norms across various disciplines. Dr. Shikha Tiwari (Principal, T. John College) Chief Editor vii viii Editorial The 11th edition of Samyoga keeping in line with its tradition showcases a varied range of articles by various researchers. The journal presents a diverse collection of research articles, an article based on research integrated learning, research articles presented in the national conference ‘IRISVE-15’ organised by the Department of Fashion and Apparel Design, T. John College and review articles exclusively from T. John College of Pharmacy. The journal presents a collection of 18 research papers and review papers which are from diverse fields such as Pedagogy, Pharmacology, Nutrition and Dietary Habits, Fashion and Apparel Design, Organizational Behaviour, Tourism and Marketing, Gender Studies, Psychology, Economics related Growth, Entrepreneurship in Textiles and Garment Industry, Technical Textiles, Digital India and Natural Indicators. A fine example of ‘Research Integrated Learning’ which is a concept popularised among the academia in T. John Group of Institutions through sessions conducted by Centre for Teaching and Learning can be seen in a research paper based on Fashion and Apparel Design. The 18 research papers not only provide insights into various fields by foregrounding the valuable research findings of talented researchers but also provide a review of the research that is currently being undertaken in Pharmacy/ Pharmacology thereby rendering the research findings in a simplistic way. The journal is not only a knowledge sharing platform but also efficaciously serves the purpose of boosting the spirit of research in its readers by kindling the thirst of knowledge in them. We hope that the readers will read the articles in this journal with great enthusiasm and will be enlightened by the scope of these studies. We anticipate valuable feedback from our readers regarding all the papers that are published in this journal.

  • Chapter 1. Introduction
    Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1. Introduction Research and ecological context Importance of the mutualistic symbiosis Truffle-like fungi are an important component in many terrestrial ecosystems. They provide a food resource for mycophagous (‘fungus-eating’) animals and are an essential symbiont for many plant species (Claridge 2002; Brundrett 2009). Most truffle-like fungi are considered ectomycorrhizal (EcM) in which the fungus hyphae penetrate the plant root structure and form a sheath (‘Hartig Net’) around plant root tips. This enables the exchange of water, minerals, and metabolites between fungus and plant (Nehls et al. 2010). The fungus can form extensive networks of mycelium in the soil extending the effective surface of the plant-host root system. EcM fungi can also confer resistance to parasites, predators, pathogens, and heavy-metal pollution, as well as the breakdown of inorganic substrates (Claridge 2002; Gadd 2007; Bonfante & Genre 2010). EcM fungi can reproduce through mycelia (vegetative) growth or through spores. Truffle-like EcM fungi form reproductive below-ground (hypogeous) fruit-bodies (sporocarps) in which spores are entirely or partly enclosed within fungal tissue of the sporocarp (‘sequestrate’), and often referred to as ‘truffles’. The sporocarps of these fungi (‘truffles’) generally require excavation and consumption by mycophagous mammals for spores to be liberated and dispersed to new locations (Johnson 1996; Bougher & Lebel 2001). In contrast, epigeous or ‘mushroom-like’ fungi produce stipitate above-ground sporocarps in which spores are not enclosed within fungal tissue and are actively or passively discharged into the surrounding environment. Consequently, truffle-like taxa are considered to have evolved to be reliant on mycophagous animals for their dispersal.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

Dear John, As requested Florigene is submitting “Addendum 1: pests and disease for roses” to add to petition 08-315-01p. This addendum outlines some of the common pest and diseases found in roses. It also includes information from our growers in California and Colombia stating that the two transgenic lines included in the petition are normal with regard to susceptibility and control. This addendum contains no CBI information. Kind Regards, Katherine Terdich Regulatory Affairs ADDENDUM 1: PEST AND DISEASE ISSUES FOR ROSES Roses like all plants can be affected by a variety of pests and diseases. Commercial production of plants free of pests and disease requires frequent observations and strategic planning. Prevention is essential for good disease control. Since the 1980’s all commercial growers use integrated pest management (IPM) systems to control pests and diseases. IPM forecasts conditions which are favourable for disease epidemics and utilises sprays only when necessary. The most widely distributed fungal disease of roses is Powdery Mildew. Powdery Mildew is caused by the fungus Podosphaera pannosa. It usually begins to develop on young stem tissues, especially at the base of the thorns. The fungus can also attack leaves and flowers leading to poor growth and flowers of poor quality.
