Banana (Musa spp.), a highly nutritious fruit, developes without seed due to sterility and parthenocarpic nature of plant. The main aim of genetic improvements in banana range from improved fruit quality, improved yield, disease resistance, tolerance to different biotic and abiotic stresses, to the biosynthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. Other beneficial characteristics include early flowering and maturity, short stature, photosynthetic efficiency, minimum period between successive harvests, strong roots, cylindrical bunches of fruits and fruits of uniform size. It is very difficult to combine all these traits in a single hybrid through sexual hybridization. In vitro culture based technologies that involve embryo rescue, generation of somaclonal variation, and gene-transfer procedures are the alternative to sexual hybridization. The process of transformation involving Agrobacterium and biolistics mediated gene transfer is highly desirable. Future researches on banana will need more attention towards higher nutritive value, genomics, genetic mapping, low cost micropropagation, and somatic embryogenesis. Development of improved varieties with ideal gene architecture, and more resistance to pathogens and pests would be the goal of future researches on banana.Keywords

Oyster mushroom is an edible fungus commonly known as ‘Dhingri’ in India. This nutrition-rich mushroom is cultivated worldwide. Cultivation procedure of the mushroom is simple and can be grown on moist bed of plant wastes. Parameters like, atmospheric temperature, relative humidity and substrate conditions of culture bed are vital for mushroom growth. The mushrooms are susceptible to some bacterial and fungal diseases. Sterilisation of bed and application of antibiotics are needed for controlling diseases. Usually a crop takes about 45 days to mature and hence, 6-8 crops can be grown in controlled condition in a year. Mushrom cultivation is comparatively easy, ingredients cheap and commonly available. Mushroom cultivation has enough potential for good economic return and can be an attractive option for the growers.Keywords
