National iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) balance were computed using theoretical mean daily per capita dietary Fe and Zn requirement and composition of Fe and Znin foods in agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry and fisheries sectors. The analyses imply a satisfactory situation that the intake of Fe and Zn through food sources by the Indian population is adequate. Despite sufficient availability of Fe and Zn through food, there is widespread Zn and Fe deficiency in our population.Ours is a vegetarian-dominant society. The phytate content of our foods is relatively high as the phytate content of vegetarian diets is high. This may be the main cause of the low absorption of Zn and Fe from the foods we eat. A sector-wise contribution indicated a major share of the agriculture sector, followed by the animal husbandry sector. Surprisingly, horticulture sector contributed a small portion (9.1% Zn and 12.9% Fe). The fisheries sector contributed the least.Given the multiple sources of uncertainty in following this method, caution must be exercised in interpreting the estimated figures for prevalence. Since our food sources are supplying enough Fe and Zn, our research efforts should therefore be diverted towards bioavailability rather than bio-fortification.Keywords

Cultivated grafted mangoes are not the same as polyembryonic seedling-based wild mangoes in terms of biomass production and carbon sequestration. We estimated the carbon sequestration potential of mangoes in Konkan region, which is a prime mango belt of India producing the popular Alphonso mangoes. Allometric equation developed for grafted mangoes was used to estimate tree biomass. Konkan mango belt spread over 106,210 ha sequesters 9.913 mt of carbon. However, the carbon sequestration potential of these cultivated grafted mangoes is very low compared to polyembryonic seedling-grown mangoes in the wild. Since mangoes in the Konkan region have mostly occupied degraded lands of lateritic origin, such regions have been brought under productive mango orchards. As a consequence where forests have disappeared and mangoes have occupied the region, the carbon sequestered by them is a bonus apart from the production of mangoes. The administrators in these regions must use this information for claiming carbon credits for the benefit of farmers and the local population.Keywords

Estimates of carbon stocks and stock changes in fruit orchards are necessary under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. In this direction we estimated the carbon stocks in cultivated mango orchards in India using an exclusive allometric equation developed for estimation of tree biomass of grafted mangoes. Extensive tree, litter, weed and soil samples were collected for estimation of carbon pools by grouping mango areas based on similarity of tree canopy, climate, and dominance of mango varieties grown in these regions. The carbon held in these pools was then compiled and national-level carbon storage in cultivated mango orchards was computed by multiplying with the area occupied by mango in these regions. The country as a whole has sequestered 285.005 mt of carbon in its mango orchards. This is, however, very low compared to polyembrionic mango trees grown from seeds in the wild.Keywords

The growth of Actinobacteria was evaluated in a new modified nutrient agar media (MNA) supplemented with 1% sodium chloride (NaCl) and compared with the universally accepted media which are under regular use. Thirteen different Actinobacterial isolates were evaluated for their growth in both solid and liquid media in MNA along with four regularly used media ISP-2, kenknight, starch casein and nutrient media. Results indicated that eight isolates (Streptomyces bulli, Streptomyces griseorubens, Streptomyces viridobrunneus, Streptomyces A3, Streptomyces A7, Streptomyces A11, Streptomyces A12 and Streptomyces A13), out of thirteen isolates could grow significantly faster on MNA compared with other solid agar media. Similarly, growth in liquid media recorded by optical density (OD) indicated that three isolates (S. griseorubens, S. viridobrunneus and A7) showed significantly higher OD followed by ISP-2, nutrient, starch casein and kenknight broth after seven days of incubation. All the isolates except S. viridobrunneus and Streptomyces A12 could tolerate NaCl concentration upto 6% in liquid modified nutrient broth. The present study showed that Actinobacteria can be successfully grown faster with full pigmentation at 1% NaCl concentration and they can tolerate up to 5% NaCl concentration, in the new proposed MNA media.Keywords
