Plant viruses cause severe diseases leading to enormous crop loss. The present day viral researches of economic plants are centered on identification of virus, molecular characterization and management of viral discases. Till date more than thousand viruses have been classified into several families. It is desirable to know about the different virus families along with their type genus and/or important genus. But due to an enormous volume of literature published on this aspect, it becomes difficult to study all of them. Hence the present review has highlighted the salient features of the major plant viruses which have been classified at the family level. Most of the virus families have been discussed with important/type genus of each family. Some viruses which could not be placed in any family have been grouped as 'no family". Importance of molecular data, immunological data and data on protein configuration of coat proteins along with bioinformatics and its predictive powe...

Simple, easy to maintain and shop floor size pedal-powered soap mixer, mold, cutting and stamping machines were developed, fabricated and tested for local soap production. Soap production can be enhanced by making use of this pedal-powered soap mixer, which with little human effort makes the soap to properly mix and trace within few minutes. The mold made from high strength wood is simple, cheap and can withstand the temperature of the hot soap solution without any adverse effect on the final product. The soap cutting and stamping machine makes cutting and stamping easy, faster and neater than using ordinary knife and manual stamping machine. The soap produced was fairly hard, form good lather and fair to the skin when used for washing. The soap making machine assembly is cost effective and can be a model for a one-shop soap factory for low income earners in developing countries.
