Life Sciences are a discipline of science which is ever expanding in all directions and dimensions. The new revolution in biology is taking place. In Current Trends in Life Sciences both basic and applied aspects of Life Sciences research have been focused. The deciphering of human and other genomes has revolutionized biological research. There have been advances in regenerative medicine Therapies for genetic disorders that attack disease at their root cause are inciting. Better prospects are there for clean technology, advanced bio fuels and energy security. The logical step forward from...

India has great potential to increase the use of bio fertilizers. An endophytic symbiotic fungus Piriformospora indica promotes growth as well as important ingredients of the medicinal as well as economically important plants. It has been established as multipotent organism. In view of its immense importance , the aim of this Doctorate (D.Sc.) study was to investigate the effect of P. indica culture filtrate on the growth of medicinal plant Aristolochia elegans and economic plant Helianthus annus as a model to reckon with. It also envisaged studying conditions of bulk production of the fungus...

Besides infectious diseases result in innumerable deaths world over, microbial resistance to antimicrobials put additional pressure of increased illness severity, duration, mortality and health costs including costs on prevention and control measures and development of alternate drugs. It makes advances in therapy ineffective, more complicated and more expensive based on scope of problem. Hence, there is an urgency to find out ways to address the issue of microbial resistance. To meet the challenges of microbial resistance to antimicrobials, we must improve our understanding of microbial...
