The assimilated C and N largely influence plant growth and crop yields. Previous attempts to alter the carbon and nitrogen status of the plants attempted with one or two genes The present invention involves simultaneous co-overexpression of three genes wherein one gene (PEPCase) efficiently capture CO2 whereas the other two encode for enzymes (Asp AT and GS) involved in nitrogen assimilation. The combined effect is the enhancement of carbon and nitrogen status of the plant and the productivity.

An apparatus is used for growing plants or tissues under aseptic conditions. The apparatus includes a lid and a base compartment. A linking mechanism is provided for connecting the lid and the base compartment. The linking mechanism is provided with a locking mechanism, which is movable from a locked position to an un-locked position and vice-versa. In the locked position, the locking mechanism holds the lid in an abutting closed relation with respect to the base compartment. In the un-locked position, the linking mechanism is provided with means for automatically lifting the lid to an elevated-suspended position with respect to the base compartment thereby providing an access route to reach the base compartment and perform desired operations.

essential oil is blue-black dark liquid with camphoraceous, woody, amber and spicy characteristic odor and is less valued in market, however the prepared value added products have very good shining color with the improved fragrance. The present invention relates to an efficient process for the modification ofessential oil to develop value added fragranced products, the process comprising the steps of mixing of essential oil with one solvent or a combination of more than one solvents, cooling the mixture over ice bath or at lower temperature at rotation of 1000 rpm or at simple magnetic stirrer at high speed, addition of reducing agent at different proportion at a certain time period for desired product, after completion of the reaction, addition of ice water to the reaction mixture to terminate the reaction, extracting the mixture using solvent for three to five times, washing the extractive with dilute acidic water and then with water, washed product was dried at lower temperature to obtain modified essential oils in order to develop fragranced products with recovery of 60 to 95% and use of the modified essential oil in the range between 0.05 to 100% in perfumery or allied industries.

The invention pertains to a method and apparatus for separation of seeds from fruit pulp/skin/twigs, in general, coming out from juice producing industry as a waste and in particular from apple pomace. The method involves addition of apple pomace and water in a particular ratio to a vessel (), mixing with an agitator () at optimum rpm for sufficient period, allowed to stand followed by secondary agitation. Based on difference in bulk density, seeds were separated from pomace. The seedless pomace withdrawn from horizontal () or inclined () outlets and seeds collected in seed collection chamber were removed through bottom valve (). The seed trap () provided at inclined outlet () helps in their retention in the vessel (). The seedless pomace is recovered by filtration from water. This spent water can be recycled for few times and then purged. Easy to handle separation device is energy efficient, compactly designed and can be used to separate the seeds efficiently up to 97%.
