  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstracts

The modern views onin situ production of antibiotics in soils and their uptake by plants and the role of heavy metals in the production of these toxins, the derangement in the uptake of metabolites by plants and its repurcussions on amino acid sequence of fungal wilt polypeptide toxins are discussed by Sadasivan.
