Plant Taxonomy

The revised edition of Plant Taxonomy is designed to present the current principles, practices and techniques of plant taxonomy and contemporary classifications, and also to describe important angiospermic families and groups. It provides a broad and up-to-date synthesis of this active and fascinating field of botany in the most effective manner.

Plant Pathology

The book covers the entire field of plant pathology in one volume. It provides up-to-date information and discussess both general and specialised topics. Almost all types of diseases are covered, including root diseases, seed-borne diseases, post-harvest diseases of fruits and vegetables, diseases caused by bacteria,viruses, mycoplasms and nematodes. NOn-parasitic diseases are also discussed in detail.Life and diseases cycles of important plant pathogens are adequately covered. The text is profusely illustrated with about 200 figures in the form of line diagrams and photographs. The chapter-end questions provide a refresher exercise to the reader. With its coverage, apart from the plant pathology courses, the book also meets the complete requirements of agriculture and botany students.

Schaum's Easy Outline: Biochemistry

"Schaum's Outlines of Biochemistry", tries to cover all major concepts through a question-answer format, well-supported by relevant rich illustrations and exhaustive stats & graphs. This would help the reader achieve a fair technical proficiency in the subject.

Immunology

Immunology has been written primarily for undergraduate students of biotechnology and biochemistry as also medicine. The book provides an in-depth coverage of the fundamental concepts of immunology, suitably aided with numerous illustrations and exhibits. The initial chapters of the book provide a broad overview of the immune system and its functioning. The subsequent chapters discuss antibodies, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), antigen receptors, cytokines, lymphocyte activation, immune responses against pathogens, and the manipulation of the immune system by various vaccine strategies. The book also delves into hypersensitivity states, immunodeficiency disorders with special emphasis on the HIV-AIDS pandemic, transplantation, and tumour immunology. Tolerance and autoimmunity have been linked for a better understanding of the mechanisms that lead to autoimmune diseases. Owing to its comprehensive coverage, this book would be useful to postgraduate students of biochemistry, biotechnology, and microbiology as also researchers.

Genetic Engineering

Genetic Engineering is designed to serve as a textbook for the students of biotechnology, life sciences, genetics, microbiology, biochemistry, and other related areas. Replete with comprehensive details, it will also serve as a reference for the research students in this field.

Divided into four parts, the book provides in-depth coverage of all major topics in this area. The first part on fundamentals of genetic engineering includes concepts, such as gene cloning, enzymes used in genetic engineering, synthesis of nucleic acids, and techniques like gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction.

The second part on vectors used in gene cloning covers the basic biology of plasmids, ë phages, other cloning vectors, and the strategies adopted for their application in gene cloning. In the third part, generation and screening of recombinants are described. This part includes detailed discussions on DNA ligation, DNA delivery methods, construction of genomic and cDNA libraries, and screening of transformants.

The fourth part on applied genetic engineering covers DNA and protein sequencing, molecular markers, gene silencing, antisense RNA technology, and in vitro mutagenesis. Safety regulations related to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are also discussed.

Written in a lucid style, the book is highly interactive, which will help readers understand the contents through visualization of concepts and techniques, and their practice.

Fundamentals Of Biochemistry

Biophysical Chemistry: Principles and Techniques

The book discusses the major physic-chemical forces important to biological systems and the applications of such forces in modern analytical techniques. The book promises to be extremely useful to undergraduate and post-graduate students of Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pharmaceutical Science and Medical Sciences Besides other disciplines of life sciences in general. The book, while promising to be a hand book for all conventional analytical techniques used in life sciences such as Spectrophotometer, Mass spectrometry, Centrifugation, Chromatography, electrophoresis, Isotopic tracers, Ion-specific electrodes, optical rotator dispersion, Circular dichroism, Flow birefringence, Light scattering, Fluorescence Energy transfer etc., also highlights the new developments such as Capillary electrophoresis, Pulsed field gel electrophoresis, Cellular gel electrophoresis, Polymerase chain reaction, ELISA, Flow cytometry, nonradioactive throughout the text in distinct boxes. As an exercise to the students many representative problems have been provided. The book is a must for a basic understanding of the subject and for providing orientation to the student for future work.
