Abstract The
coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has wreaked havoc
in the lives of entire mankind all over the world. The pandemic caused by the
new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has produced global
health crisis worldwide. Body’s natural defence
system (immunity) plays an important role in maintaining optimum health and
in the present scenario it has become more important to build our immune
system stronger against covid-19.
Staying at home and taking care of immunity may be the best way to
prevent ourselves from the virus. Since time immemorial, different herbal
preparations have been used to lessen the diseases by modulating the response
of the immune system. Since time immemorial spices and herbs have been an
integral part of human diets and commerce. They also have been used as immuno-boosters. While there is no medicine for COVID-19
yet, it will be better to take preventive measures which can boost our
immunity. Medicinal plants propagate the gifts of nature in maintaining
healthy and happy living. There are evidences that foods and herbs possess a
potential antiviral ability against SARSCoV-2 and can prevent COVID-19. India
is home to several medicinal plants that are used extensively in traditional
medicine. Spices and herbs like Haldi, Jeera, Dhaniya, Cinnamon, Black
pepper, Ginger, Garlic, Ajwain, Pudina,
Amla, Ashwagandha, Giloy, Moringa, Neem and Tulsi are said to have
several health benefits. Herbs and spices are unique in the sense that unlike
drugs, we don’t need to “take” them. Instead, we add them to our favourite food for a boost in both, flavor and immunity. Keywords: SARSCoV-2,

Abstract Transcriptional
activation and repression of genes play an important role in plant growth,
development and response to various stress (biotic and abiotic)
condition. PRC complex are group of protein that plays important role in
epigenetic regulation of genes. It is important to study the role of PRC
group protein as it can be helpful in understanding plant responses to cope
up with various stress condition in today’s changing environment. Keywords: PRC1, Epigenetics, Gene regulation, PcGs |

Abstract Present study on constraints faced by
working parents in educational sector in district Kanpur Nagar was carried
out on randomly selected one hundred twenty respondents from Rawatpur, CSA Campus, Nawabganj,
Companybagh, locality of Kanpur Nagar. Analysis of
data reveals that 54.2 percent majority of respondents were found worried
about their work. Whereas 60 per cent of respondents were pressurised
some time in their work and 40.8 per cent of working parents needs to manage
work life of its employees. For calculation of sample arithmetic mean,

Abstract Present study on cause of stress among
students during COVID-19 in Kanpur was conducted in localities like C.S.A.
University, H.B.T.U, G.S.V Medical college and Rama University of district
Kanpur. The undescriptive data from 120 students
were collected by using pre coded interview schedule and personal interview
method. The result of the study shows that 40% of the students moderate
stress during COVID-19, 25.8% of the students worsened significantly mental
health during COVID-19 and 75% students were academically stressed during
pandemic calculation for the sample arithmetic mean, SD, mean score were
used. Keywords: Level of Stress, Componentsof Stress, Mental health |

Abstract Chickpea, (Cicer
arietinum L.) Chickpea is classified into two
broad types, desi and kabuli. Most of the desi
types are small in size, angular in shape with dark seed color and
rough seed coat, while kabuli have large
beaked seeds with white or beige seed coat colour
and larger in size with smoother seed coat. Chickpea is an excellent source
of essential nutrients, protein, minerals, fiber, unsaturated fatty acids and
b-carotene In addition to having high protein content (20 - 22%), chickpea is
rich in fiber, minerals (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc) and
â-carotene. Its lipid fraction is rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Chickpea
is one of the earliest grown grain legume crop domesticated in the Old World
from South Eastern Turkey, Syria, Four centers of chickpea diversity have
been identified in the Mediterranean, Central Asia, Near East and India.
Chickpea seeds have a seed coat, two cotyledons and an embryo. The seed coat
consists of two layers, the outer testa and the
inner tegmen and a hilum
The hilum is the point of attachment of the seed to
the pod. Chickpea plants have a strong taproot system with 3 - 4 rows of
lateral roots. The parenchymatous tissues of the
root are rich in starch. The chickpea stem is erect, branched, viscous,
hairy, terete, herbaceous, green and solid. The
primary branches arise from the ground level as they develop from the plumular shoot as well as the lateral branches of the
seedling. The primary branches arise from the ground level as they develop
from the plumular shoot as well as the lateral
branches of the seedling. The leaves are pubescent. The chickpea leaves are petiolate, compound and uniimparipinnate
(pseudo-imparipinnate). Solitary flowers are borne
in an axillary raceme. Sometimes there are 2 or 3
flowers on the same node. Such flowers possess both a peduncle and a pedicel
The racemose peduncle is 6 – 30 mm in length. Keywords: Chickpea, Cicer arietinum L.,
