 कृष्णा फळ (पॅशन फ्रूट) - सविस्तर लेख 

(प्रशांत काळे,  श्रीराम मिरजकर)

**कृष्णा फळ (पॅशन फ्रूट): पोषणमूल्यांचा खजिना**  

कृष्णा फळ, आपल्या अनोख्या चवीनं आणि समृद्ध पोषणमूल्यांमुळे, संपूर्ण जगभरात लोकप्रिय होत आहे. हे फळ केवळ स्वादिष्ट नसून आरोग्यासाठीही अत्यंत लाभदायक आहे. उष्णकटिबंधीय प्रदेशात नैसर्गिकरित्या वाढणाऱ्या या फळाची लागवड आता व्यावसायिक स्तरावर मोठ्या प्रमाणात केली जाते. यामध्ये जीवनसत्त्वे, खनिजे, अँटिऑक्सिडंट्स मुबलक प्रमाणात आढळतात, त्यामुळे हे फळ हृदयसंबंधी विकार, मधुमेह आणि रोगप्रतिकारशक्ती वाढवण्यासाठी उपयुक्त ठरते. या लेखात आपण कृष्णा फळाची उत्पत्ती, विविधता, लागवडीच्या आधुनिक तंत्रज्ञानापासून ते बाजारपेठेतील मागणीपर्यंत सविस्तर माहिती जाणून घेणार आहोत.


१. उत्पत्ती केंद्र (Centre of Origin)

कृष्णा फळ (Passion Fruit) हे मूळचे दक्षिण अमेरिकेतील ब्राझील, पराग्वे आणि अर्जेंटिना या प्रदेशातील आहे. या ठिकाणी नैसर्गिकरित्या मोठ्या प्रमाणावर त्याची लागवड आढळते.

 Empowering Women for a Progressive and Sustainable India

(Dr. Prashant Kale)

Women's empowerment is a cornerstone for creating a progressive and sustainable society. As we navigate through the 21st century, the collective efforts of individuals, communities, and governments are pivotal in enhancing the roles and opportunities for women. This article delves into the thematic areas essential for fostering women's empowerment in India, supported by case studies and innovative approaches.

1. Women in Leadership and Governance

Leadership positions enable women to influence policies and decision-making processes. However, the representation of women in governance and leadership roles in India remains underwhelming.

Case Study: Women Leaders in Panchayati Raj


The Panchayati Raj system has provided a platform for rural women to engage in governance. For instance, the state of Rajasthan has witnessed women sarpanches initiating water conservation projects and improving local infrastructure.

Basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) Transcription Factors: Role in Plant Development

(Dr. PB Kale and Monali Ther)

Abstract

Basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) constitute one of the largest and most diverse families of TFs in plants, regulating various biological processes essential for plant growth, development, and stress responses. This article explores the structural features of bHLH TFs, their classification, and their diverse roles in plant development, including cell differentiation, organ formation, hormone signaling, and response to environmental cues. The significance of bHLH TFs in crop improvement and future research directions are also discussed.

The coconut (Cocos nucifera) belongs to the family Arecaceae, commonly referred to as the palm family. It is the only species in the genus Cocos. Native to tropical regions, the coconut palm is widely cultivated for its versatility and economic value, especially in coastal and island ecosystems.

Morphology:

  • The coconut palm is a tall, unbranched tree that can grow up to 30 meters, with a smooth, slender trunk.

Taxonomy:

  • Kingdom: Plantae
  • Clade: Angiosperms
  • Clade: Monocots
  • Order: Arecales
  • Family: Arecaceae
  • Genus: Cocos
  • Species: Cocos nucifera

Taxonomic Description:
The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) belongs to the family Arecaceae, commonly known as the palm family. This family includes several economically and ecologically significant species distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Cocos nucifera is the only accepted species in the genus Cocos, making it a monotypic genus. It is a member of the order Arecales, characterized by its unbranched stem, pinnate leaves, and drupe-type fruit.

Coconut palms are often referred to as the "tree of life" due to their wide range of uses, including food, oil, fiber, and wood. The species is widely cultivated in tropical coastal regions and serves as a keystone species in coastal ecosystems.

Genomics Studies: Evaluation of Rice Genotypes and Mutants for Drought Tolerance Using Genomics Studies

Principle of the Method

Genomics involves the analysis of DNA sequences and genetic variations to identify genes, alleles, and regulatory elements associated with specific traits, such as drought tolerance. By integrating high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics, genomics enables the discovery of genetic markers, quantitative trait loci (QTLs), and drought-responsive genes in rice genotypes and mutants. This approach facilitates understanding the genetic basis of drought tolerance and accelerates breeding programs.
