  • Selection and testing field performance of Candidate tea clones in India 
    Singh, I.D.; Jain, N.K. (International Society of Tea Science (ISTS), 2006)
    The early efforts by tea breeders in India for selecting candidate tea clones from natural variability existing in seed-grown plantations are reviewed. The procedures and criteria in selecting elite clones are described. ...
  • Available sulphur status of Dooars tea soils 
    Ghosh, J.J.; George, U.; Barpujari, N.; Jain, N.K. (International Society of Tea Science (ISTS), 2006)
    Available sulphur was determined on 5077 soils from the tea growing areas of Dooars (North Bengal), received for routine soil testing between 2000-2003. Over 43% of the soils had more than the critical limit of 40 ppm ...
  • History and prospect of tea medicine in China 
    Yong-Xing, Z.H.U. (International Society of Tea Science (ISTS), 2006)
    Tea was first used as medicine during the reign of "Emperor Shengnong" in ancient China. The period of more than 4000 years' of Chinese tea medication can be divided in 3 stages of development. In this paper we briefly ...
  • Tea in Myanmar, with special reference to pickled tea 
    Htay, H.H.; Kawai, M.; MacNaughton, L.E.; Katsuda, M.; Juneja, L.R.; Jain, N.K. (International Society of Tea Science (ISTS), 2006)
    Eating habit of fermented wet green tea leaves (Pickled tea) in Myanmar and its culture, history, production, processing and health benefits are reported in this paper, together with drinking green tea and black tea. Types ...
  • Assessment of physiological, biochemical and genetic fidelity with a brief review on tissue culture of tea 
    Mishra, J.; Nandi, S.K.; Palni, L.M.S.; Jain, N.K. (International Society of Tea Science (ISTS), 2006)
    Tea [Camellia sinensis (L) 0. Kuntze] is the oldest non-alcoholic caffeine containing beverage crop, belonging to the genus Camellia (family Theaceae). India is the foremost producer, and after Sri Lanka and China, it is ...
  • Molecular markers as tools for characterization and improvement of tea germplasm 
    Tripathi, S.B.; Negi, M.S.; Jain, N.K. (International Society of Tea Science (ISTS), 2006)
    Tea (Camellia sinensis [L.] 0. Kuntze) is one of the most common non-alcoholic beverages of the world used since ancient times. lndia is the largest producer and exporter of processed tea with over 30% share in global ...
  • Some ecological factors on population dynamics of red spider 
    Choudhury, P.; Dutta, B.K.; Bhattacharjee, P.C.; Jain, N.K. (International Society of Tea Science (ISTS), 2006)
    Mites are serious pests of tea known since the early days in all the tea growing area countries. They damage the green tissues and affect photosynthesis, causing reduction in yield. In the present study, varied severity ...
  • Efficient rooting of microshoots of tea : a crucial prerequisite for successful hardening and field establishment of micropropagated plants 
    Bag, N.; Palni, L.M.S.; Nandi, S.K.; Jain, N.K. (International Society of Tea Science (ISTS), 2006)
    The application of tissue culture techniques for rapid and clonal mass propagation and improvement of tea is well known. While several laboratories have successfully developed in vitro propagation protocols, the use of ...
  • Chromosome constitution of some Indian tea clones 
    Sharma, S.; Raina, S.N.; Jain, N.K. (International Society of Tea Science (ISTS), 2006)
    Resultant of large-scale spontaneous hybridization between Camellia taxa, the present day commercial tea clones are highly variable and heterozygous. It is in this context that thirty two UPASl and other tea clones were ...
