A flower is a modified condensed shoot specialised to carry out the function of sexual reproduction in angiosperms. Like a branch, it arises in the axil of a small leaf like structure called bract. The receptacle (thalamus or torus) of a flower supports all the floral appendages (i.e., sepals, petals, stamens and carpels). The receptacle consists of several crowded nodes which are separated by condensed internodes. The fertile leaves of the shoot become microsporophylls (stamens) and megasporophylls ( carpels) which bear anthers and ovules respectively. The anthers produce pollen grains and the ovules possess eggs.

1 diseases and peats) In modern society, these problems have been tackled increasingly by the use of chemicals - by use of insecficides and pesticides. These chemicals are toxic and extremely harmful, to human beings and antmals alike, and have been polluting our environment. (soil, ground water), fruitis, vegetables and crop plants, Our soil is also polluted through our use of Wecdicides to remove weeds.newwonded /eande Biological control of pests and diseases: In agriculture, there is a method of controlling pests that relies on natural predation rather than introduced chemicals. A key belief of the organic farmer is that biodiversity furthers health. The more variety a landscape has, the more sustainable It is. The organic farmer. therefore, works to create a system where the insects that are sometimes called pests are not eradicated, but instead are kept at manageable levels by a complex system of checks and balances within a living and vibrant ecosystem. Contrary to the 'conventional' firming practices which often use chemical methods to kill both useful

selection of recombinants. Selection of recombinants due to inactivation of antibiotics is a cumbersome procedure because it requires simultaneous plating on two plates having different antibiotics. Therefore, alternative selectable markers have been developed which differentiate recombinants from non-recombinants on the basis of their ability to produce colour in the presence of a chromogenic substrate. In this, a recombinant DNA is inserted within the coding sectivation of the enzyme, which is referred to as insertional inactivation. The presence of a chromogenic substrate gives blue coloured colonies if the plasmid in the bacteria does not have an insert. Presence of insert results into insertional inactivation of the â-galactosidase and the colonies do not produce any colour, these are identified as recombinant colonies.
