Bamboos arc versatile multipurpose forest produce which playa vital role in our domestic economy. Bambusa bambos is the principle source for paper and pulp besides being used for constructional purposes and provides food materials. The conventional methods of its propagation have a lot of problems which restrict its multiplication on a large scale. A tissue culture technology is developed for large scale multiplication of Bambusa bambos which is discussed.- Biological Control of Stem Rot Disease of Carnation Caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn

Five fungal antagonists viz., Trichoderma harzianum, T. hamatum, T. viride, T. polysporum and T. virens and two bacterial antagonistic species namely Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens were evaluated under in vitro and field condition against stem rot of carnation variety Rubesco during 2009 and 2010. Under in vitro conditions biocontrol agents significantly inhibited the growth of Rhizoctonia solani upto 65.08 per cent in case of Trichoderma viride and under field conditions they caused significant reduction in stem rot incidence, increase plant growth and quality parameters as compared to untreated control.Keywords

Different fungal antagonists viz., Trichodermaharzianum, T. hamatum, T. viride, T. polysporum,T. virens, Penicilliumsp., Aspergillussp., Rhizopus sp. and two bacterial antagonistic species namely Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens were evaluated under in vitro and field conditions against stem rot of carnation and seven microorganisms representing five fungal viz., T. harzianum, T. viride, T. virens, Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. and two bacteria viz., Bacillus sp. and bacterial isolate 1 were tested against Fusarium wilt of carnation during 2012 and 2013. Under in vitro conditions biocontrol agents significantly inhibited the growth and under field conditions they caused significant reduction in disease incidence and there is increase plant growth and quality parameters as compared to untreated control. The Trichodermaharzianum was found most effective and identity of T.harzianum were also established by PCR amplification and sequencing of either 18S rRNA or ITS gene sequences and it was submitted with an accession number KF924562.

The protein anabolic and hypertrophic effects of fenoterol in skeletal and smooth muscles have been confirmed from an increase in tissue mass following drug administration. Based upon anabolic properties, β-agonists have been proposed as valuable adjunct to the treatment of muscle wasting conditions. The aim of the study was to ascertain the effect of fenoterol on vastus lateralis and small intestine morphology. Equimolar dose of fenoterol was administred to mice for 28 days to see its effects on vastus lateralis and small intestine in order to test the hypothesis that fenoterol would produce powerful anabolic and ergogenic effects.Keywords

The 21st century pandemic COVID-19 has challenged the leadership throughout the world including India, U.S and various other countries of the globe. In the present case study, researcher highlighted the critical role of leadership to fight against COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak of this pandemic is seriously a subject of apprehension. However, some countries like South Korea and New Zealand have successfully controlled the spread of COVID-19 with their contingency plan. Today, the manner in which every country is fighting against pandemic is really commendable. Besides all this it’s essential to explore the leadership under which the plan to manage the crisis is formulated and implemented. This case study will give an insight on the leadership and crisis management approach adopted to fight against COVID-19. The case study further explores how contingency leadership theory is used to identify the situation where strong leadership may play a significant role in managing COVID-19.Keywords

Purpose: This study empirically examines the relationship between high performance work-based practices (HPWBP) and two employee outcomes–employee satisfaction & productivity in IT companies. Design/Methodology: A model is developed to examine the direct effects of independent variable on dependent variables. A survey was conducted on 50 HR professionals of eight IT companies in Delhi & NCR. Findings: It was found that HPWBP have a positive relationship with employee satisfaction and productivity. However, employee’s satisfaction also had a positive relationship with productivity. Research Implications: HPWBSP significantly increases employee satisfaction and productivity. However, employee satisfaction was also found to increase employee productivity. High performance work based practices are influenced by the set of innovative HR practices and for the organization to gain competitive advantage and act globally, mangers must incorporate these practices to improve employee performance.Keywords
