Rapid Multiplication for Producing Quality Planting Material of Olive [Olea europaea L. cv. Barnea] through Plant Tissue Culture and It’s Commercial Application | Chapter 03 | Modern Research in Botany Vol. 1

Olea europaea is an economically important tree species native to Mediterranean region. The present study is focused on developing the regeneration protocol and production of true-to-type plants of Olea europaea L. cv Barnea with commercial importance. Olive tree is a long lived evergreen tree but has a long juvenile phase and reaches its full production stage at 25 - 30 years of age. Traditionally, for many years, they have been propagated through cutting, grafting, vegetative propagation and in recent years, through air layering through plant tissue culture methods this problem of long juvenility can be overcome in addition large number of pathogen free plants can be produced. Nodes from adventitious shoots were surface sterilized and inoculated in different tissue culture media such as Woody Plant Media (WPM), Murashige and Skoog media (MS), Rugini Olive media (OM), Schenk and Hildebrandt media (SH) and Multiplication media (Combination of half strength MS and half strength Rugini OM) in which culture establishment was best obtained in multiplication media supplemented with 1 mg/l zeatin. Different treatment was given to induce shoot proliferation and the highest shoot number 4.2±0.4 was obtained in multiplication media enriched with 2.0 mg/l zeatin and silver nitrate at 2.0 mg/l. The in-vitro derived shoots were assessed for genetic fidelity using different molecular markers Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR). Monomorphic bands were obtained between the mother DNA and in-vitro derived progenies which indicated that there is genetic stability in the in-vitro regenerated plants. Commercial analysis was done with respect to Industrial Use. The global market for olive is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.5% in the forecast period of 2019-2024. In the production of olive, Spain holds the largest share of world production and Italy holds the second largest share. Although in recent years, the world has begun to see olive from various new regions. The present study is the initiative step towards propagation of Olive cultivar in South Asian region.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Risk Factors for Postpartum Psychiatric Disorders. A Review of the Literature | Chapter 8 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors for the development of postpartum psychiatric disorders through international literature. Materials and Methods: Throughout many articles in PubMed, Google scholar and PsycInfo, a great amount of recent data was gathered to identify the disorders that are most common as well as their risk factors. Results: After childbirth, most commonly women experience postpartum depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and postpartum psychosis. All the disorders have many similar risk-factors with the main one being preexisting psychiatric disorder and many similar symptoms too. Conclusions: Women after childbirth are at risk of experience many psychiatric disorders, such as postpartum distress, postpartum post traumatic stress disorder and even more rarely postpartum psychosis. It is important to provide comprehensive support to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the infant and this will b...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...
