The term protoplast has been defined as that part of the plant cell which lies within the cell wall. It can be plasmolysed and isolated by removing the cell wall either mechanically or using enzymatic digestion technique.
The protoplast is, therefore, a naked cell surrounded by the plasma membrane and is potentially capable of cell wall regeneration, growth and division.
The protoplast is quite fragile but it too can be cultured and regenerated into a whole plant. The first demonstration of totipotency of protoplasts was by Takebe et al. who obtained tobacco plants from mesophyll protoplasts. The technology of plant protoplast has opened up new vistas and has awakened the interest of plant physiologists, plant pathologists, molecular biologists, and cytogeneticists.
In protoplast technology, protoplasts are isolated either from any two genotypically different plants or from the somatic cells (diploid) and are experimentally fused to obtain parasexual hybrid protoplasts.
The isolation, culture and fusion of protoplasts is a fascinating field in plant research. Protoplast isolation and their cultures provide millions of single cells (comparable to microbial cells) for a variety of studies.

A process where an embryo is derived from a single somatic cell or group of somatic cells. Somatic embryos (SEs) are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in embryo formation.
Embryos formed by somatic embryogenesis are called Embryoids.
The process was discovered for the first time in Daucas carota L. (carrot) by Steward (1958), Reinert (1959).

Practical Applications
Protoplasts are naked plant cells without the cell wall, but they possess plasma membrane and all other cellular components. They represent the functional plant cells but for the lack of the barrier, cell wall. Protoplasts of different species can be fused to generate a hybrid and this process is referred to as somatic hybridization (or protoplast fusion). Cybridization is the phenomenon of fusion of a normal protoplast with an enucleated (without nucleus) protoplast that results in the formation of a cybrid or cytoplast (cytoplasmic hybrids).
The signal transduction pathway uses a network of interactions within cells, among cells, and throughout plant.
The external signals that affect plant growth and development include many aspects of the plant’s physical, chemical, and biological environments. Some external signals come from other plants.
Many signals interact cooperatively and synergistically with each other to produce the final response. Signal combinations that induce such complex plant responses include red and blue light, gravity and light, growth regulators and mineral nutrients .
For example the overall regulation of seed germination involves control by both external factors and internal signals.
Agricultural development and food security have been the major concerns of India since independence. The emphasis given has, however, varied with the result that the development of the agricultural sector has witnessed its peaks and troughs intermittently. The First Five Year Plan kept at its core the development of agriculture as its primary focus. Despite this, during the Second Plan, India faced severe food shortage. To deal with this problem, in 1958, India invited a team of experts (led by Dr. S.E. Johnson of US Department of Agriculture) to examine the causes of food grain shortages and suggest remedial measures. The team [in its report entitled “India’s Food Problem and Steps to Meet It” (1959)] recommended that India should focus more on those areas where the potential of raising agricultural productivity was high. Consequent to this, some already developed regions were selected for intensive cultivation to grow more food grains. Later in 1960s, two major programmes viz. Intensive Agriculture Area Programme (IAAP, 1961) and Intensive Agriculture District Programme (IADP, 1964) were launched. These two programmes made large investments in irrigation, fertilizer, agricultural R&D, education, and extension services which together led to achieve a period of high growth in productivity and production in Indian agriculture, popularly referred to as the green revolution (GR).
The Earth is alarmingly polluted, and the current economic model and population growth do not give a progressive expectation. Waste management has become an issue of global concern as industrialization and populations continue to rise. Rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in the generation of huge quantities of solid and liquid wastes. World produce enough food to feed twice of its population and 1.3 billion tones of food is wasted every year (FAO, 2011). India ranked 102 among 117 countries with a score of 30.3 in the Global Hunger Index (The Economic Times, 2019). India has serious levels of hunger where, About 1 lakh tonnes of municipal solid waste is generated in India every day. That is approximately 36.5 million tonnes annually. Per capita waste generation in major Indian cities ranges from 0.2 Kg to 0.6 Kg. Calorific value of Indian solid waste is between 600 and 800 K cal/Kg and the density of waste is between 330 and 560 Kg/m3. Out of the total municipal waste collected, on an average 94% is dumped on land and 5% is composted. Thousands of new chemical compounds are released every day into the environment, producing changes in the environment, particularly in microbial populations and global effects which still remain unknown.
The environmental sustainability of the human society largely depends on our management of the natural environment and the ecosystems that constitute the platform upon which our civilization is based. Yet almost two-thirds of the world’s ecosystems are considered degraded as a result of damage, mismanagement and failure to look after these resources. In order to cope with this huge waste production, advanced and effective waste management systems are to be adopted that can overcome the gap between production and management of waste disposal. Therefore, in this view much technological advancement has occurred in the recent past which has proved to be useful for combating this problem. The knowledge of the microbial processes in the environment as well as microbial communities and their interactions with other living organisms and the environment are the basis of bioremediation. Microorganisms have long been the subject of bioremediation studies.
Pollinator are the biotic agents (insects) that moves pollens from the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma of a flower to accomplish fertilization .
Many fruit crops require an insect pollinator to help insure pollination (i.e. apples, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, cranberries, pears, plums, raspberries, strawberries).
Having enough pollinators during bloom is essential to produce a sustainable crop.
Honey bees are social insects and live in colonies.
A normal colony, during active season is composed of 3 kinds of individuals, which vary in size :
One queen.
Thousands of workers (10000 to 30000 or even more) .
Few hundreds of drones.
In addition, each colony has different developmental stages viz eggs, larvae and pupae which are collectively known as Brood.
India grows the largest number of vegetables in the world. Varied agro climatic conditions in India make it feasible to grow several vegetables round the year. Being short duration crops, vegetables are more susceptible to extremities in environment. And vegetable production is also not consistent due to weather extremities and diminishing natural resources. In countries like India it is a serious problem in view of large population depending on agriculture, excessive pressure on natural resources and poor cropping mechanisms. Vegetables play an important role in achieving the nutritional security as they encounter the malnutrition problems in India and also serve as a source of income for the small and marginal farmers. The major objectives of reducing malnutrition and alleviating poverty in developing countries through improved and consumption of safe vegetables that involves adaptation of current vegetable cropping systems like, multiple cropping, mixed farming, intercropping, and relay cropping systems. Integration of crop production, different farming systems with suitable soil and water conservation measures lead to sustainable production increase in income levels and towards better livelihoods. Major emphasis should be given on development of diverse technologies for optimization of farm resources, increased economic return and improved sustainability.
Moreover, increasing temperatures, reduced irrigation water availability, flooding, and salinity will be major limiting factors in sustaining and increasing vegetable productivity. Extreme climatic conditions will also negatively impact soil fertility and increase soil erosion. Measures to adapt to these climate change induced stresses are critical for sustainable tropical vegetable production. Adoption of suitable cropping system is one such measure which ensures maximum utilisation of natural resources and inputs. Farmers may get benefitted by following different cropping systems even under adverse climatic conditions. Success in mitigating climate change depends on how well agricultural crops and systems adapt to the changes and concomitant environmental stresses of those changes on the current systems. Thus, adoption of suitable cropping patterns/systems will be needed to maintain vegetable productivity.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. The hybrid protoplasts contain heteromorphic cytoplasm and
two fused parental nuclei.
The fused protoplast is grown in vitro with an aim to obtain a
hybrid plant. So, the in vitro fusion of plant protoplasts derived
either from somatic cell of the same plant or from two
genetically different plants is called somatic hybridization

32. CONCLUSION
• protoplast fusion and somatic hybridization have opened up a new avenue in
plant science. protoplast fusion provides a method of combining the different
genomes of different genera and species with the potential of overcoming
sexual incompatibility barrier between plants. besides this, studies of fusion
product can give information about compatibility or incompatibility of the nuclei
or cytoplasm. By protoplast fusion, it is possible to transfer some useful genes.
This opportunity will undoubtedly lead to the production of new genetic variation
and thereby widen the genetic base for plant breeding. More over in case of
vegetatively reproducing plants, the genetic variation can be induced through
protoplast fusion. Thus, in spite of having some limitations protoplast culture and
somatic hybridization have immense potentialities and prospect in future plant
biotechnology especially for the improvement of different plant species and
varieties having high economic values.
