the scope of crop improvement as well. The integrated approaches used are

contributing to the development of critical knowledge about the genetic

structure of the plants, which are used to develop genetically improved crops

to meet the demands of a healthy society. The application of these techniques

has proven to be useful in the past years and will provide better opportunities

in the coming future.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We are grateful to Director, Dayalbagh Educational Institute and Head,

Department of Botany for kind support and encouragement.
