Microbial Biotransformation of Pesticides(xenobiotics).pptxAliya Fathima Ilyas
* Biotransformation is the chemical modification made by an organism on a chemical compound, often associated with change in pharmacologic and toxicologic activity.
* Caryophyllaceae is also known as pink family. Members of this family are well known for ornamental purposes.
* This family is well represented in the British Flora and many species are cultivated as ornamental garden flowers.
* The members of this family are commonly found in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
*Reference - Taxonomy of Angiosperms - Dr. B. P. Pandey
Pteridophytes are part of a large group of plants known as tracheophytes.
Tracheophytes are plants that have a vascular system that allows water and nutrients to move throughout the plant.
* The Gymnosperms originated in the Devonian period of the Palaeozoic Era and formed the supreme vegetation in the Mesozoic Era.
* It was Robert Brown (1827) who first recognised gymnosperms as a separate entity among plant kingdom.
* The members of this family are mainly distributed in the tropical parts of the world. The plants occur mostly in dry regions.
* Several shrubby species of Capparis occur in the Mediterranean region.
* Reference - Taxonomy of Angiosperms - Dr. B. P. Pandey
* Water hyacinth is scientifically known as Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms and the common name is Lilac devil. Water hyacinth or water hyacinth is an herbaceous weed, succulent stem and has a flow (stolon) spanning the water surface.
* Water hyacinth is considered invasive throughout the world because it grows rapidly and can form thick mat over the water. These mats shade out the other aquatic plants. Eventually these shaded plants die and decay. Decaying process depletes the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. Often waters below the water hyacinth masses become devoid of life.
• Transcription machinery interacts with the template strand to produce an mRNA whose sequence resembles the coding strand.
• Life on earth is said to have begun from self-replicating RNA since it is the only class of molecules capable of both catalysis and carrying genetic information.
• Transcription maintains the link between these two molecules and allows cells to use a stable nucleic acid as the genetic material while retaining most of their protein synthesis machinery.
• The scanning tunneling Microscope is an electron microscope that transmits three - dimensional images of the electron cloud around the nucleus.
• The scanning tunneling Microscope (STM) works by scanning a very sharp metal wire tip over a surface. By bringing the tip very close to the surface, and by applying an electrical voltage to the tip or sample, we can image the surface at an extremely small scale - down to resolving individual atoms.
Water stress & physiological consequences in plant growth.pdfAliya Fathima Ilyas
• Plants experience water stress either when the water supply to their roots becomes limiting or when the transpiration rate becomes intense.
• Water stress may range from moderate, and of short duration, to extremely severe and prolonged summer drought that has strongly influenced evolution and plant life.
• The physiological responses of plants to water stress and their relative importance for crop productivity vary with species, soil type, nutrients and climate.
• Spatial data is of crucial importance to the Military Commander in the battle as it is for a decision maker in planning and development in a state’s growth.
• Ministry of Defence in any country gathers data on routing, filtering, analysing and presenting information for decision-making.
• The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells.
• The genetic code, once thought to be identical in all forms of life, has been found to diverge slightly in certain organisms and in the mitochondria of some eukaryotes.
• Nevertheless, these differences are rare, and the genetic code is identical in almost all species, with the same codons specifying the same amino acids.
• The membrane enclosing a cell is called cell membrane or plasma membrane (animal cells) and plasma lemma (plant cells).
• It contains proteins and lipids in the ratio of 80 : 20 in bacteria on one extreme and on the other extreme 20 : 80 in some nerve cells.
• The over all composition of most of the cell membranes is 40-50% protein and 50-60% lipids; both the components vary in their composition.
• Neo – Darwinians thought that adaptations result from multiple forces and natural selections is only one of these many forces.
• This lead to the formulation of the ‘Germplasm theory’ which states that ‘any change to the somatoplam will not have an influence over the germplasm’.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. Introduction
A dye can generally be
described as “a colored
substance that has an affinity to
the substrate to which it is being
applied”.
3. 3
The dyes that were used for garments were
proportionate to the wealth or importance of the
people.
Wealthy people were wearing brightly hued colours,
while the lower class was wearing clothes in the
shades of white or brown.
The slaves clothes were dyed in greys, greens and
browns. Either way, dyed garments were expensive
and a matter of exclusivity, across the whole ancient
world.
4. The use of dyes began thousands of years ago.
Some evidence show that textile dyeing dates back as early as the Neolithic Period or New Stone
Age, which took place around 10,200 BCE.
Some data states that dyeing was done more than 4,000 years ago because of the evidence of
dyed fabrics found in Egyptian tombs.
Meanwhile, the use of black, white, yellow, and reddish pigments made from ochre in cave
painting were traced back as early as 15,000 BCE.
During 7,200 to 2,000 BCE, the period when fixed settlements and textiles were being developed,
dyes were also used.

5. 5
From Ancient Egypt to the modern day - for over 4000 years mankind has been brightening up
clothing with natural and synthetic dyes.
Throughout the ages adding individuality to clothing with colour has been used to denote gender,
status and allegiance.
It started with natural mineral and plant dyes, but with the discovery of synthetic dyes came a
plethora of colour choice.
7. Indigo - Indigo was derived from the leaves of dyer’s woad herb and from the indigo plant.
Alizarin - Alizarin was a red dye extracted from the madder plant. Meanwhile, other red shades were
derived from scale insects such as kermes and coachineal.
Tyrian Purple - Tyrian purple was extracted from the glands of snails.
Yellow - Yellow came from the leaves of weld, quercetin, and the bark of the North American oak tree.
Carotenoids, which are compounds present in green plants.
Logwood - Heartwood extracts coming from logwood yield hematoxylin. Once it oxidizes, it will turn to
hematein during isolation. Initially, it is red but the colour will transform to charcoal, grey, and black once
combined with chromium. Logwood is used to dye silk and leather.
Mordants - Most natural dyes warranted the use of mordants in order for the colour to stick to different
materials, fabric, or textile.

9. When the first humans created clothes made from linseed and cotton, the need for dyeing was
absent.
All the garments were used in their natural colour, which was something close to pale grey or white.
After centuries of using these textiles, when the first civilisations were flourishing in the Middle East,
in Egypt and in Asia, the need to distinguish gender and class became more pronounced and so the
first natural dyes were created.
Scientists have even found evidence about the first natural reds and oranges in tombs back to
2600BC.
An important manuscript of the Hellenistic period showing exactly the importance of the dyeing
industry in the ancient world is the so-called Stockholm Papyrus.
It contains over a hundred recipes for manufacturing dyes and how to apply them to textiles.
It is an important source, as it follows the development of the dyeing industry from the Hellenistic to
Roman times.

11. The base cloth is usually dyed deep reds or yellows by boiling bark
and leaves.
Then, using mud which has undergone a special fermentation
process, distinct patterns are painted onto the fabric using sticks,
brushes or reeds.
The cloth then is soaked in natural solutions which bind the colour
left behind by the mud to the fabric.
Once dried, each piece of fabric becomes a totally unique work of
art, in hues of red, brown, yellow, black and white, and patterns with
a distinct regional aesthetic.
12. The Shibori dyeing process was developed during a time when the
Japanese lower classes were forbidden from wearing silk and brightly
coloured clothing.
Shibori is both versatile and easily applied to cloth to create beautiful,
unique designs, so it was a treasured method.
It is now a recognised part of Japanese culture and emulated by
fashionistas around the world.
The process can involve a number of tactics such as stitching, wrapping
or compressing fabric and creating stencils out of a rice based paste
(katazome dyeing) to intentionally prevent the indigo dye from reaching
certain parts of the cloth.
13. The ancient Indian practice of Ayurvedic medicine not only uses plants to aid health and cure
illness, it can also be drawn upon to create clothing dyes that are good for both the wearers and the
planet.
The traditional methods of Ayurvastra allow the colours from these plants to be applied to cloth
100% naturally, without the use of any toxic chemicals and causing no harm to animals or people.
The Monsoon Blooms’ dye house, set in the quiet forests of Kerala in Southern India have been
dyeing fabric for tens of thousands of years, using techniques passed down through the
generations.
There are over 1200 medicinal plants grown at the dye house, and those used to dye and bleach
include turmeric, aloe vera, and the treasured neem plant.
14. o Scotland’s Harris tweed worn for its hardy warmth, is traditionally dyed
using natural colours and ecologically friendly dye processes.
o The deep reds, purples and yellow checks of the Scottish kilt are created
from lichens, a type of fungus, and the plant woad to create the blues.
o The colours themselves are intended to evoke the rich hues of the
Scottish landscape.
o The dyeing of Harris tweed is actually the first step in the production of the
fabric. The pure wool is dyed in different base colours, which are then
broken up by hand and tossed together.
o They are then fed into a machine which shreds and blends these base
colours, creating unique hues for every piece of yarn.
15. The Spanish conquistadors were in awe of the vivid colours of the fabrics
they saw being made and traded by indigenous Mayans, Incans and Aztecs.
The vivid reds, now known as cochineal, were produced by boiling and
drying coccid insects and then grinding them into a red powder.
This dye became a significant export for the region, and is now still used to
colour many cosmetics.
But there were, and still are natural, plant based dyeing methods used in
the region too. Traditional Mayan artisans use boiled banana leaves as a
mordent.
This allows natural dyes to adhere to cloth and prevents them from fading
with time.

16. The world is experiencing the distinct aesthetics and
visual style of different cultures.
And colour is often at the heart of this cultural
expression, particularly in the beautiful clothing worn in
different parts of the world.
Dying opened up fabrics to a new realm of creativity
and self-expression.
With the ability to brighten up a gloomy day and put a
smile on our face - dying has coloured our world and
changed the face of fabrics for the better.
