students & Botany, Zoology, Microbiology, Biotechnology and other faculty staff members are

Mr. M.Ashokkumar, Territory manager for Monsanto Group presented the guest lecture
with power-point in which he explained the latest modern devices and techniques used to
increase the productivity in agriculture. Bt.cotton has been genetically modified by the insertion
of one or more genes from a common soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiesis. These genes encode
for the production of insecticidal proteins, and thus genetically transformed are produced one or
more toxins as they grow But in some cases it is found that Bt.cotton is ineffective against many
cotton pests such as plant bugs, stink bugs and apids; depending on circumstances it may be
desirable to use insecticides in prevention.

Fossils are remains or traces of past organisms that have been preserved by nature.
Fossils are used to study organisms present in the past. Fossils are Impressions or
cast of the organelles living some time back but now extinct. Plant fossils are
normally present in rocks composed of sediments deposited in waters. Infact fossil
are makers of Geologic time.
The process of formation of fossil in the rocks is called fossilization.
Petrifactions, Cast on Incrustations, Compressions, Mummified plants,
Impressions, and Amber are the types of fossils.
The Geological time scale is a system of chronological dating that relates
Geological rock strata to time, and is used by Geologists, Paleontologists, and
other Earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships of events that have
occurred during Earth’s history.
