SEMINAR REPORT
(Regd: One Day Seminar on 17-11-2007)
The Department of Botany and Microbiology had conducted a One day Seminar on “Recent trends in Botany” on 17-NOV-2007. The seminar was mainly based on bringing the awareness about botany and its multidisciplinary activity and the advances with which the plants science is coming up in recent times. The seminar was conducted in a successful way including guest lectures and students paper presentations. The day was divided into two sessions for convenience.
The forenoon session was started at 10:00 am in the morning and consisted with two guest lectures. The seminar got the privilege of having one of the eminent personalities of the branch of botany in India, Dr.P.Kalidas, principal scientist, NRC Oil Palms, Pedavegi, W.G.District, Andhra Pradesh. Guest lecture presented by him mainly emphasized on “The role of microorganisms in agriculture”. And he also focused on the use of microorganisms as pesticides (Biopesticides), insecticides (Bioinsecticides) and fertilizers (Biofertilizers). The lecture was very useful for also the students of Microbiology and Biotechnology disciplines. He had projected some of the slides from his research work which had given visual examples of the concerned.
Followed by another guest lecture which was given by the Principal of Andhra Loyola College (autonomous), Rev.Fr.S.Emmanuel.S.J. His lecture was on “The Plant Tissue Cultures”. He focused on the different techniques involved in the procedure of performing plant tissue cultures. He also visualized some of the research works in plant tissue culture through LCD projected slides. He also gave an idea of producing chloroplasts inserted human cells, so that humans can synthesize their own food using sunlight.
The forenoon session was halted by 01:00 pm in noon and the after noon session was started by 02:00 pm sharp.
The afternoon session was mainly meant for students paper presentations. Students from the host college had participated well and also the response of student participation from outer colleges was good.
And the students were asked to present the papers either of the chosen topic from “Conservation of Biodiversity”, “Molecular structures of Nucleic acids” and “Remote sensing and Biodiversity”.
Among the number of presentations by students Mr. John Jayanth Balantrapu, final B.Sc(Microbiology), Andhra Loyola College had secured the first best presentation award and Ms.Tejaswini, final B.Sc, Montessori Mahila Kalasala had secured the second best presentation award. The first best presentation included the description of remote sensing and the use of remote sensing in the assessment of Biodiversity. And the second best presentation included the Conservation and Biodiversity.
After the student paper presentations, the prize distribution to the best presentators with participation certificates to all the participants were given. Finally a vote of thanks was proposed by the student chairman of Department of Botany and Microbiology, Mr.Ram . The one day was totally concluded with the National Anthem.
