The acronym MAGIC that stands for ‘multiparent advanced generation intercross’ is a powerful next generation mapping population to precisely map the agronomically important quantitative trait loci. An eight parent based soybean MAGIC population was developed by employing 2-way, 4-way and 8-way intercross hybridization. The aim was to obtain MAGIC-derived breeding lines with higher yield, broader genetic base, increased diversity and variability. The 8-way and 4-way intercross hybrids so developed in the present study will be evaluated for their yield potential in the subsequent generation under changing climatic conditions (F2–F8 generation).Keywords

Arecanut consumption and its effect on human health is of much concern in recent times in India. Even though there were limitations in the epidemiological studies and lack of evidence-based research, voluminous reports were prepared alleging arecanut as a cancercausing agent based on information available on the internet and submitted before the Supreme Court of India. This has caused much anxiety in the arecanut community, including growers, scientists, policymakers, traders and officials of the developmental agencies. A twoday interactive workshop was conducted recently with regard to research on arecanut and human health, and to identify the shortcomings and prioritize future research.- Coconut Oil–Scientific Facts

Coconut oil and its health benefits have been challenged once again by an US-based professor who has labelled it as ‘a pure poison’. The pertinent question we ask is whether her observations are based on scientific facts. We would like to dispel any negative connotation and arrest the spread of mis-information about the oil of Kalpavriksha. Here we discuss and present scientific facts that support the health benefits of coconut oil.References
