At 300 mM, tall wheatgrass, African millet, perennial ryegrass and sorghum showed higher germination rate than 60% of the control, but those of tall fescue, blue panic, barnyard millet and pearlmillet were less than 30% of the control. Among the species germinated well at 300 mM NaCl, only tall wheatgrass showed better seedling growth. Tall wheatgrass was a Na excluder and a relatively high proline-accumulator plant under the tested conditions.

To evaluate the host diversity of the plant in the Northern part of the Indian state West Bengal, gradual surveys were conducted. Host plants were identified and characterized on the basis of their habits. In the present investigation 73 host species representing 30 families were recorded as the host plant.

Leafy vegetables can fulfill such needs. Leafy vegetables are now used worldwide as food for their nutritional and medicinal values. In the present work an ethnobotanical survey was carried out on the utilization of edible plants by local communities of the Terai-Dooars Region of West Bengal. The information has been documented by interviewing traditional farmers, herbalists, various older men and women following different ethnobotanical methods. A total of 103 plant species under 44 families with their short botanical description, use, range of demands and cultivation status have been documented.

Both the forest beats are very well known for their characteristics as dense forest. To screen the ecological status of these forests a stratified random quadrate method was employed in the study. A total of 28 tree species were recorded from Panjhora Forest Beat and 31 tree species were recorded from Sipchu Forest Beat. The work conclude that though both the forest beats belong to same forest range, they differ in pattern of diversity in tree vegetation and specially in regard to the pattern of dominance.

Phytosociology deals with plant communities, their composition, development, and the relationships between the species within the ecosystem. The structure of a community is determined mainly by the dominating plant species and not by other characteristics. The quantitative characters with reference to density, diversity and frequency distribution could well act as indicators of disturbances that are affecting the various forest types and such studies would help in understanding the threats that are being faced by the forests and would help in deriving conservation policies. The present research is an attempt to assess the phytosociology of tree species in Nagrakata forest beat.

The sensing of salt stress signals triggers a wide array of complicated network transduction pathways in plants. Trehalose and its intermediate compounds effectively modulate salt response and salt tolerance. Sugars such as trehalose and its derivatives not only serve as metabolic resources and structural components of cells in plants but also exhibit hormone-like regulating properties. Trehalose has an important physiological role in improving plant tolerance against salinity stresses in different plants. Plants finely adjust their cytoplasmic compatible solute pool to cope with high salinity. Salt stress induces a variety of structural, anatomical, molecular, biochemical and physiological changes in plants, all of which have a detrimental influence on plant growth and development. This review highlights the recent developments in understanding trehalose and trehalose-6-phosphate signalling processes in plants, especially their impacts on plants growing in salty environments.

In this study, we analyse the ecological and phytosociological distribution of epiphytic vegetation on Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. plants of road side area in Terai-Dooars and Northern Plain region of West Bengal,India.To evaluate the ecological status of the epiphytic vegetation Density,Frequency,Abundance and Important Value Index were determined.To understand the status of epiphytic community several community indices were determined.

Different types of human communities traditionally use such medicinal plants. As the forest regions are rich in medicinal plants, people collect such plants from forest vigourously. Excess harvest of such plants or their propagule may results the extinction of the species from the forest, which may led to the change in entire forest vegetation. Considering this view point in mind, a phytosociological survey has been carried out on naturally occurring medicinal plants of the Chalsa Forest Range. The present paper throws light on the description and uses of certain species of medicinally important plants along with their ecological status in this forest.

In restoring forests, the first step is to quantify the actual and potential levels of natural regeneration ability of plant by examining the role of soil seed banks as propagule donors. In present work, soil seedbank assessment of woody plant species was made in Ramsai forests so as to evaluate composition and estimate their regeneration status. A total of 24 quadrates were established in selected six sites of the forest. The quadrates (20m x 20m) were laid along line transects.Composition and status were determined by direct count. Results showed the presence of seeds of 14 plant species in the soil. Shorea robusta had the highest seed density and Importance Value Index.The similarity between the soil seed bank, and above-ground vegetation was more or less same in most of the quadrate sites. Regeneration was abundant in some species, but poor in many others. The natural regeneration proces...

The anthracnose pathogen is rather unique in that this fungus can infect virtually all parts of the plants. It is more problematic as it harms ripe fruits, even after the harvest. Thus a huge loss is faced during storage and transport. This review peers into the pathological symptoms and mode of disease spreading of anthracnose of some common medicinally important fruit plants including Mango, Papaya, Olive and Banana.
