INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON BACTERIA & FUNGI FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY 

September 15 - 17, 2010

Overview:

Human impact leading to ecosystem destruction necessitates the development of restoration strategies. Looking at the great number of various parameters determining a plant community, the inclusion of soil microorganisms in restoration practices is indispensable. Future research on symbiosis is desperately needed for enlightening the AMF biology & PGPRs and elucidating the precise relationship between plant species and their soil environment for successful re-establishment of plant species in a new environment or in a destroyed ecosystem under restoration.
This three day workshop will not only provide the forum to discuss the biology of microorganisms and its role in the ecological sustenance but will also help in determining an effective strategy for restoration of destroyed ecosystem and re-establishment of plant species, thereby minimizing the global warming impact. The workshop will host the leading scientists and their view for the use of microbes in restoration of ecosystem.

The workshop will cover the following major themes

1. Mutualistic networks and Ecosystem functions
2. Impact of Endophytes on Plant Physiology
3. Inter-kingdom Horizontal Transfer
4. Microbial Communication, Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching
5. Interaction of Nanoparticles with Microbes
6. Mutualistic Interactions and Global Change
7. Science and Technology for Tribal Welfare
8. New Methods in Symbiosis Research

A Practical Training Course on TECHNIQUES IN TISSUE CULTURE, GENETIC ENGINEERING AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

May 12th, 2010 to June 23rd, 2010

Objective 

Agricultural biotechnology encompassing areas of transgenic development, structural and functional genomics including marker assisted crop improvement could provide us with opportunities towards breaking the yield plateaus for sustainable food production. The recombinant DNA technique has enabled gene transfer across all possible inter-species barriers. The present era of ‘Gene Revolution’ requires skilled human resources in this high throughput area. The Department of Biotechnology & Molecular Biology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana is a leading seat of learning in the field of Agricultural Biotechnology with emphasis on plants and microorganisms. The department is going to organize a six weeks hands on training on the topic topic “Techniques in Plant Tissue Culture, Genetic Engineering and Molecular Biology ” covering different techniques in plant tissue culture, genetic engineering and molecular biology. The proposed training has been designed keeping in view the needs of State Univ. & Colleges and Graduate college students. The training programme will include lectures as well as practical classes.

Course contents

-Isolation and purification of genomic DNA and RNA from plants and microorganisms.
-Estimation of quality and quantity of nucleic acids by agarose gel electrophoresis and/or UV spectrophotometer.
-PCR amplification of genomic DNA using RAPD/ISSR/SSR primers.
-Resolution of PCR amplified products by agarose gel electrophoresis.
-Scoring of amplified bands and analysis for polymorphism/sexspecificity.
-RT-PCR and Cloning of RT-PCR products in E.coli.
-Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of different crop species such as rice, Brassica etc.

Course Fees: Participants are requested to pay a sum of Rs. 10000/- (Rs Ten thousand only) as registration fee.
