The book generation of variability for salt tolerance in rice: Scope of tissue culture, authored by Dr. T S Swapna and Dr Padma Nambisan, is an authentic record for the generation of variability in rice for salt tolerance using somaclonal and androclonal variations and identification of variants using isoenzyme markers. Generation of salt tolerant rice varieties with good grain quality and yield is very essential where salinity is a major coastal problem. Somaclonal and androclonal variation could be effectively used for tolerance generation and they could be detected using isozyme markers....

The effect of lasers of 3 wavelengths in the visible region - 476, 488 & 514 nm on mitotic & meiotic cell divisions, growth, yield & activity of specific enzymes were studied in two taxonomically diverse plant species - Allium cepa L. & Vicia faba. The effect of laser exposures was compared with the effect of two physical mutagens (gamma & UV radiations) and two chemical mutagens (Ethyl Methane Sulphonate and Hydroxyl amine; EMS & HA). The study indicated that lasers could be mutagenic causing aberrations in the mitotic & meiotic cell divisions & producing changes in the growth & yield of the...
