    Adaptability of Rhododendrons in high altitude habitats
    (Northeast Forestry University, 2020-01-03T00:00:00) Choudhary, Shruti; Thakur, Sapna; Majeed, Aasim; Bhardwaj, Pankaj
    Tree species dominate many ecosystems throughout the world and their response to climate, in light of global warming, is a matter of primary concern. This review describes past and ongoing research in Rhododendron, an ecologically important and well-adapted genus of more than 1000 species, occupying diverse habitats. Research to date indicates survival ability and mechanisms, with an emphasis on cold tolerance. The capability of long-distance gene flow in these species increases their genetic variability which in turn enhances their adaptability to newer niches as well as to environmental gradients (mainly temperature). Attempts to explain the molecular basis of morphological and behavioural changes in Rhododendron against cold-induced damage has been made. Gradual advances in �omics� have led to an enriched genomic resource dissecting the role and interaction of multiple molecular factors participating in cold adaptability. However, fewer genetic studies are available on species with an inherent or a default cold-tolerance ability. Considering this fact, understanding specific features of an adapted species can provide insights on overriding the effects of desiccation and determining phase transitions in other plants as well. We propose to integrate ecological and evolutionary studies with functional genomics to improve predictions of tree responses to their environment. � 2020, Northeast Forestry University.

    A comprehensive review on processing, therapeutic benefits, challenges, and economic scenario of unconventional oils
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020-12-01T00:00:00) Srivastava, Yashi; Semwal, Anil D.; Dhiman, Aishwarya
    The review aims to focus on the processing and economic challenges of these oil industries (lack of organized cultivation, collection, processing, research, and market linking) and fetch the attention toward the application of green technology. The present article provides a systematic view to open a new sphere of understanding for unconventional oilseeds with its geographical distribution, chemical composition, health benefits, and research. Further, new sources of unconventional oil (cottonseed, rice bran, sal seed, mango kernel, etc.) may impart an alternative source of edible oil, which can fulfill the country's edible oil deficit with economic contribution. In inference, the combined evidence supports the assertion that unconventional sources of oils may provide an alternatives to major seed oils. Practical applications: Unconventional oils are the new boosting area to upthrust the production of edible oils and reduce the dependence of oil import from other countries. The emerging green technologies for oil extraction shall consider as high oil yield methods. There are many unconventional oil seeds which are still required to be the area for research and commercial application. The present article focused on the market scenario, health benefits of these oil seeds. � 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
