PARTICIPANTS

              India with diverse soil and climate comprising several agro-ecological regions provides ample opportunity to grow a variety of horticulture crops. These crops form a significant part of total agricultural produce in the country comprising of fruits, vegetables, root and tuber crops, flowers, ornamental plants, medicinal and aromatic plants, spices, condiments, plantation crops and mushrooms. 

      

GRAFTING

              It is estimated that all the Horticulture crops put together cover nearly 11.6 million hectares area with an annual production of 91 million tones. Though these crops occupy hardly 7% of the cropped area they contribute over 18% to the gross agricultural output in the country.

The methodology used in the preparation of Nano fibres was explained to the students of Andhra Loyola College by S. Shekar from Central Leather Research Institute, Chennai.

At the second day of the national seminar “Nano biotechnology in the Protection of Health and Environment”, here on Saturday he explained to the students how a collagen sponge was made from fish scales. “Since collagen based nano composites are contrast agents they can be used for targeted delivery in Cancer therapy,” he said.

The nano composites extracted from the scaled can be used in a paste form and when applied on cancer wounds they can be cured, he said. All this process was shown in a PowerPoint presentation for the better understanding of the students.

The nano particles have anti-cancer drug nature which aid in the healing of wounds caused by Cancer, he said. Further he explained about SDA, TEM images of collagen, MRI images of apoptotic effect etc.
