Himalayan region medical system goes well beyond the notion of medicine in the narrow western sense. It forms a part of their culture and tradition, in which "Buddhism" is the prevailing influence. Health and spirituality are inseparable and together they reveal the true origin of any sickness. The art of healing is, therefore, a dimension of the sacred life style of Bhutanese people. The system of medicine used in Bhutan is known as "Sowa Rigpa". Today, this medical system is practiced in many countries, but owing to its origin and development in ancient Tibet, it is, currently, known throughout the world as Tibetan Medicine.

Aravalli hills are around 600 km long and cover very rich diversity due to their peculiar location . However unlike temperate hills this hill range passes through hostile climate of Rajasthan and Gujrat on one side and somewhat friendly climate on its other side as it divides Rajasthan in two zones. Mining activity , population growth and greed of the man has denunded the Aravallis and biodiverstiy is being lost each day due to man made activity. Plants do not know the rules and regulations they simply die if their society is dead. Plants also live in society or groups and if the big trees dry up the smaller ones follow and if the trees dry up the soil is gone from the hills. Once top soil is gone hills cant be reforested.

Ethnopharmacological importance of Asparagus racemosus : A review Manorma Sharma, Archana Sharma1 and Ashwani Kumar2 Abstract Tuberous plants are the vital source of medicinal drugs. Among these Asparagus racemosus is an important herb which is well known for its pharmacological applications. A lot of medicinally importance attributes have been assigned to this herb. It has been used by tribes located in distinct area of India from primeval time. Key component of this herb is saponins. Recent developments in transgenic research have opened up the possibility of the metabolic engineering of biosynthetic pathways to produce these high-value secondary metabolites. The present review is a pragmatic approach to accrue the findings on this very important herb.

Biodegradation of phenol by oxygenase producing thermophilic microorganisms Neetika Mathur1*, Vinod Kumar Nigam2, Ashwani Kumar1 and Purnendu ghosh2 1 Department of Botany, University of Rajasthan, Rajasthan- 302 004 2 Department of Biotechnology, Birla Institute of Scientific Research, Jaipur, Rajasthan-302 001 Abstract:

MOLECULAR MARKERS AND GENOME SEQUENCING IN CROP IMPROVEMENT. Molecular techniques, in particular the applications of molecular markers, have been used to scrutinize DNA sequence variation(s) in and among the crop species and create new sources of genetic variation by introducing new and favorable traits from landraces and related crop species. Molecular markers What are they? A marker is a gene or piece of DNA with easily identified phenotype such that cells or individuals with different alleles are distinguishable. For example a gene with a known function or a single nucleotide change in DNA Or A readily detectable sequence of DNA or protein whose inheritance can be monitored

Metabolism = anabolism-catabolism



In plant science metabolism is sum total of anabolic processes i.e. photosynthesis which make complex substances from simple molecules to catabolism i.e. respiration which utilizes complex molecules synthesised during anabolic processes and releases energy which help undertake plants its different functions.Plants always keep positive energy balance which allows them to grow . So is day to day life. Our inputs to life have to exceed the outputs to sustain growth and happiness.

Happiness is not much different . It’s a sum total of anabolism what we contribute to our home family, society, world and catabolism is what we remove from it.
