The objective of this study was to optimize a periodontal drug delivery system containing antibacterial drugs having synergistic activity for the treatment of mixed periodontal infections. Periodontal pockets provide natural reservoir bathed by gingival crevicular fluid that is easily accessible for the insertion of a delivery device. Controlled release delivery of antimicrobials directly into periodontal pockets has received great interest and appears to hold a sound promise in periodontal therapy. Both topical drug delivery and controlled drug release have been termed as local drug...

This edited book is collection of information on molecular interventions needed for climate-resilient forage crops. The main focus is to address the gap in the advanced scientific knowledge for the forage species. Agriculture is extremely vulnerable to climate, and even slight change in climatic factors such as temperature causes tremendous losses in yield potential. Forage crops are crucial in global food security and environmental sustainability and face several environmental challenges in field conditions. However, the research on forage crops is far-off compared to agricultural crops and...
