    Indigenous Traditional Knowledge of Preparation of Marcha Starter Culture of Jaanr and Raksi by Some of the Local Tribal Communities of Kalimpong and Darjeeling Districts of West Bengal, India
    (UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL, 2023) Khawash, Pramesh; Sharma, Ujwal Bhattarai; Roy, Sapana; Gyeltshen, Sonam; Sapkota, Pramodh; Sunar, Nehal; Chhetri, Nawraj; Rai, Anushka; Gupta, Saran Kumar; Ali, Sajeed; Rai, Ritu; Bantawa, Pranay
    Present paper investigates the traditional knowledge of some of the local tribes in Kalimpong and Darjeeling districts of West Bengal on the preparation of starter cultures, locally known as “Marcha”, for the preparation of finger-millet based local alcoholic beverage called Jaanr or Chhyang and also Raksi. The study highlights the ethnobotanical significance, the variety of plants used, and their roles in the fermentation process. Fieldwork and interviews with tribal elders and practitioners were conducted to document this invaluable cultural heritage.

    Assessment of Growth Performance and Histochemical Localisation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Fenugreek under Exogenous Calcium Ion Priming
    (University of North Bengal, 2022) Gupta, Saran Kumar; Mandal, Palash
    objective of present study was to evaluate the response of the fenugreek seeds primed with various elicitors such as calcium chloride (CC) as an exogenous source of calcium ion; a calcium chelator: Ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N´,N, tetra acetic acid (EG); and Lanthanum chloride (LC): a calcium channel blocker, under salinity stress. Significant improvement in the growth parameters of fenugreek seedlings was observed comparing with control. The stress tolerance index (STI) and histochemical detection of reactive oxygen species were performed to evaluate the tolerance of the fenugreek against salinity stress. The results exhibited noteworthy inhibitory effect of salinity stress in control set which was significantly mitigated by the exogenous calcium ion application. Furthermore, under the influence of calcium ion antagonists, EG and LC the adverse effect of salinity was more prominent than control set. In conclusion present investigation revealed that exogenous calcium ion is an ideal elicitor for enhancing growth and development of the fenugreek with better salinity stress management.
