Vermiculture bioconversion in India

Article Abstract:

The Bhawalkar Earthworm Research Institute, Pune, India has pioneered six vermiculture projects and motivated farmers to adopt it. A vermiculture plant at Indian Aluminium Company Ltd. site, Belgaum, processes sewage and solid wastes. The plant cleans greywater from the company's canteen and recycles for use in the cooling tower. Venkateshwara Hatcheries Ltd. processes 4 tons of poultry wastes per day and the vermicastings produced are marketed. Orient Vegetexpo Ltd. processes about 5 tons of onion residuals every day and the produce is probably used to start other vermiculture projects.

Premeiotic clusters of mutation and the cost of natural selection

Article Abstract:

Premeiotic mutation occur frequently in individuals (germical mosaics), giving rise to multiple copies of identical mutant alleles called a 'cluster' (C) with an initial allele frequency of C/(2N) instead of 1/(2N). These clusters of new mutant alleles reduce the cost of natural selection in direct proportion to the relative size of the cluster.
