    Abstract: Microbes are ubiquitous in nature. Among microbes, fungal communities play an important role in agriculture, the environment, and medicine. Vast fungal diversity has been found in plant systems. The fungi associated with any plant system are in the form of epiphytic, endophytic, and rhizospheric fungi. These associated fungi play important roles in plant growth, crop yield, and soil health. The rhizospheric fungi present in rhizospheric zones have a sufficient amount of nutrients released by plant root systems in the form of root exudates for growth, development, and activities of microbes. Endophytic fungi enter in host plants mainly through wounds that naturally occur as a result of plant growth, or develop through root hairs and at epidermal conjunctions. The phyllospheric fungi may survive or proliferate on leaves, depending on the extent of influences of material in leaf diffuseness or exudates. The diverse group of fungal communities is a key component of soil-plant systems, where they are engaged in an intense network of interactions in the rhizospheric, endophytic, and phyllospheric areas, and they have emerged as an important and promising tool for sustainable agriculture. These fungal communities help to promote plant growth directly or indirectly by mechanisms for plant growth-promoting (PGP) attributes. These PGP fungi can be used as biofertilizers, bioinoculants, and biocontrol agents in place of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in an environmentally and eco-friendly manner. This book covers the current knowledge of plant-associated fungi and their potential biotechnological applications in agriculture and allied sectors. This book should be useful to scientists, researchers, and students of microbiology, biotechnology, agriculture, molecular biology, environmental biology, and related subjects.

    Abstract: Microbes are ubiquitous in nature. Among microbes, fungal communities play an important role in agriculture, the environment, and medicine. Vast fungal diversity has been associated with plant systems, namely epiphytic fungi, endophytic fungi, and rhizospheric fungi. These fungi associated with plant systems play an important role in plant growth, crop yield, and soil health. Rhizospheric fungi, present in rhizospheric zones, get their nutrients from root exudates released by plant root systems, which help with their growth, development, and microbe activity. Endophytic fungi typically enter plant hosts through naturally occurring wounds that are the result of plant growth, through root hairs, or at epidermal conjunctions. Phyllospheric fungi may survive or proliferate on leaves depending on material influences in leaf diffuseness or exudates. The diverse nature of these fungal communities is a key component of soil-plant systems, where they are engaged in a network of interactions endophytically, phyllospherically, as well as in the rhizosphere, and thus have emerged as a promising tool for sustainable agriculture. These fungal communities promote plant growth directly and indirectly by using plant growth promoting (PGP) attributes. These PGP fungi can be used as biofertilizers and biocontrol agents in place of chemical fertilizers and pesticides for a more eco-friendly method of promoting sustainable agriculture and environments. This first volume of a two-volume set covers the biodiversity of plant-associated fungal communities and their role in plant growth promotion, the mitigation of abiotic stress, and soil fertility for sustainable agriculture. This book should be useful to those working in the biological sciences, especially for microbiologists, microbial biotechnologists, biochemists, and researchers and scientists of fungal biotechnology.

    Notes: Abstract An experimental fusion-fission hybrid research facility, known as LOTUS and located at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), is nearing completion. The first series of experiments are likely to commence in early 1984. A whole series of neutronic investigations are already underway to assess the feasibility of experimentally testing various blanket concepts. The following analysis centers around the use of actinide wastes as multiplier for blankets with thorium oxide fuel. The multipliers considered are UO2, AmO2, and CmO2. The limited size of the experimental cavity coupled with the bulky, sealed 14 MeV (D, T)-neutron generator recommends the setting up of blankets in slab geometry. The analysis encompasses the corresponding confinement geometry configurations also for the sake of perspective. It is found that the neutronic performance of thorium oxide hybrid blankets improves radically both from the standpoint of fissile fuel production and energy multiplication in the presence of transplutonium actinides. It is also reported that the specific activities of tritium and233Pa are adequate for good counting statistics.

    Notes: Abstract In-system foil activation rates and tritium production rates were measured in an experimental lithium-lead module (EL2M)- major component being a 62-cm thick pseudo-cylindrical region containing lithium and lead pellets so arranged as to simulate Li17Pb8.3 eutectic—at fusion blanket neutronics facility LOTUS. Sets of two foils each—Zr and In—were irradiated at multiple locations in the central rod to measure90Zr(n,2n)89m+gZr and115In(n,n′)115mIn reaction rates. Tritium measurements were done using two techniques: off-line liquid scintillation technique of Dierck and online lithium glass scintillation technique, the latter technique providing only T6 (tritium from6Li). These measurements have been analyzed both by two-dimensional and three-dimensional transport codes DORT and MCNP, respectively. Though computed results broadly reproduce spatial profiles (along the central rod) of the measured quantities, differences as large as 50% are found.
