Description Applications
nature of growth of ovaries under the influence of nutrients, vitamins and plant growth regulators
development of isolated mature or immature zygotic embryos from seeds in a suitable culture medium to form seedlings. Plant cells can also be induced to form embryos in plant tissue culture; these embryos are called somatic embryos. Two main steps in embryo culture are removal or excision of the embryo and taking care of nutritional requirement
Generally two procedures are followed to obtain haploid plants in anther and pollen culture: Direct culture of excised anthers on liquid medium or on agar and by removal of pollens from anther and its culture in a liquid medium
Example: Unpollinated ovaries of Citrus aurantifolia and C. sinensis produced embryos and plantlets in culture regenerated from the ovary wall
Provides a better and direct somatic embryogenesis system. Embryo culture may help shorten the breeding cycle, the production of monoploids , testing for seed viability, study of host pathogen interaction, germination of seeds of parasitic plants as well as rare plants, example: Musa bulbisiona, where seed do not germinate in nature but can be obtained through embryo culture.
Used for the production of haploids, which are of immense importance for the improvement of some crop plants like coffee, fruit trees where improvements of the species is difficult due to their heterozygous nature. Important for development of mutants. Also useful material for studying somatic cell genetics, especially for cell modification by the introduction of foreign organic matter. Applied in Datura innoxia and rapeseed plant

Stage. No.
I Small pieces of plant material, called explants, are
II The cells of the explants multiply in one of two ways The cells may form a callus, are supplied with the correct
III The plantlets have developed and are ready for root
IV The plantlets are removed from the glass container They are divided, planted in a sterile medium, and placed
Stages of tissue culture propagation Description of stage
The explants are cleaned and placed on sterile agar carefully removed from the parent plant. Explants are obtained from the actively growing part (shoot tips, sections of leaves, stems and roots, embryos, etc.) of a desired plant
formation
medium in glass bottles or test tubes
The sterile agar medium is a gel that contains water,
sugars, nutrients, and plant hormones to support and
promote plant growth
Tiny leaves, stems and roots make tissue culture possible
hormones in the medium, these callus cells can develop
into a normal plant. The explant may produce many new
explants
Shoots are transplanted to another medium containing
auxins, a hormone that induces the growth of roots
The plantlets are also given higher light intensity in
preparation
in a greenhouse.
Care must be taken during this transition to acclimatise
the plant to their new environment

Introduction
Intellectualproperty rights (IPRs) defined as ideas, inventions,andcreativeexpressionsbasedonapublic willingnesstobestowthestatusofproperty.
IPRsprovideexclusiverightstotheinventorsorcreatorsof
that property, in order to enable them to reap commercial
benetsfromtheircreativeeffortsorreputation.
Thereareseveraltypesofintellectualpropertyprotection
like patent, copyright, trademark, etc.
IPRsis prerequisite forbetter identication, planning, commercialisation,rendering,andtherebyprotectionof inventionorcreativity.Pharmaceuticalindustrycurrently hasanevolvingIPRstrategyrequiringabetterfocusand
approach in the coming era.
Types of Intellectual Properties and their Description
Originally, only patent, trademarks, and industrial
designswere protected as ‘industrial property’, but nowtheterm‘intellectualproperty’hasamuchwider meaning.IPRenhancestechnologyadvancementinthe followingways: a. It provides a mechanismof handling infringement,
piracy, and unauthorized use.
b. Itprovidesapoolofinformationtothegeneralpublic
sinceallformsofIParepublishedexceptincaseoftrade
secrets.
Section 2 Pharmacognosy
IPprotection can be sought for a variety ofintellectual
326
effortsincluding:
I Patentsarerecognitionforaninvention,whichsatises
thecriteria of global novelty, non-obviousness, and
industrial application.
II Industrial designsrelates to featureof any shape,
conguration,surfacepattern,compositionoflinesand coloursappliedtoanarticlewhether2-D,e.g.textile, or3-D.
III Trademarks relate to unique mark, name or logo
underwhichtradeisconductedforanyproductor serviceandbywhichthemanufacturerortheservice provideris identied. It can bebought, sold, and licensed,hasnoexistence apart fromthegoodwill oftheproductorserviceitsymbolises.Atrademark isamark(i.e.thenameoftheproductpresentedon
signs or packages) which can be used to protect an
herbalmedicine’sreputation.Manufacturersidentify afederally registered trademark with acircled R symbol,i.e.“®”.Trademarksareconsumer-oriented offerstheenduser a guaranteeofquality,service,
and product image.
IV Copyright relates to expressionofideas in material
formandincludesliterary,musical,dramatic,artistic,
cinematography work, audio tapes, and computer
software.
V Geographicalindications are indications, which
identifyas good as originating in the territory ofa
country or a region or locality in that territory where
agivenquality,reputation,orothercharacteristicof
the goods is essentially attributable to its geographical origin.
IPR Laws in India
Asa member of the variousinternational conventions andagreements,Indiaisboundtoenact/amendrelevant domesticlaws to gearup and face the challenges of globalisation.Inordertoconrmtothestipulationsinthe TRIPS(Trade-relatedAspectsofIntellectual Property Rights)
Agreement, IPRs related laws in India are undergoing changes.
APatentAct(1970)whichwasoneofthemostimportant milestonesinthehistoryofIPRlawsinIndiaamendments bygovernmentin1999,2002and2005.Themainchanges
brought through the amendments do not substantially
affect traditional knowledge, farmers’ rights and biodiversity.Therearealsofewprovisions,whichattempt toreduce biopiracy. As an example,the scope ofan ‘invention’hasbeenexpandedtocoverallgroundsofnew scienticcreations.Despite,newusesofknownsubstances, includingtheduplicationoftraditionalknowledgehave beenspecicallyexcludedfrompatentability.Inaddition, thenondisclosureofthesourceofgeographicaloriginof atraditionallyknownmaterialhasbeenmadeabasisfor thechallengeofapatent.
TheBiologicalDiversityAct,2002wasadoptedfollowing India’sraticationoftheBiodiversityConvention(CBD). Itaims to conserve biodiversity, sustainableuse of biologicalresourcesandequitablesharingofbenetsthat arisefromtheiruseortraditionalknowledge.Itmandates thesettingupofinstitutionsatnational,stateandlocal levels,forthepurposeofregulationofbiologicaldiversity. TheActattempts to regulate accessto biodiversity for commercialpurposes,toghtbiopiracy,andrecognise community rights overtraditional knowledge and biodiversity.
Plant Varieties Protection and Farmers Rights (PVPFR) Act, 2001 was enacted under the obligations set out in
AgreementonTrade-relatedIntellectualPropertyRights (TRIPS)whichmandatestheprotectionofplantvarieties
either by patents. The Indian legislation on Plant Varieties
Protection (PVP) is being perceived as a progressive
legislation when compared to the PVP Acts adopted by
theother developing nations. The PVPFRAct of India, inadditiontoofferingprotectiontoplantbreedersinthe formofplantbreeder’srights,alsoprotectstherightsof thefarmerstosave,use,sow,re-sow,exchange,shareor sellfarmproduceincludingtheseedsofanyunprotected variety,withanexemptiontopreventthesaleofbranded seeds.This law incorporates some principlesof the Conventionon Biological Diversity (CBD) likeprior informedconsentandsharingofbenetswithfarmers.
PATENTS
Patentsmay provide the strongest IP protection, most difculttoobtainfornaturalorherbalmedicines.Patents providethe patentee the rights to exclude othersfrom making,using,selling,offeringforsale,orimportingthe patentedinvention.Itisagrantbyastatetoaninventor orto his assignee,giving exclusive rights tomake, use, exerciseandvendtheinventionsforalimitedperiod,in exchangefordisclosureinapatentspecication.According
toPatentAct,1970,itisdenedasnewinventionwhich shouldbeuseful,newandnon-obviousnotusedpreviously inuseinIndiainvention.

Patentis recognition to the formof IP manifestedin invention.Patentsaregrantedforpatentableinventions, whichsatisfytherequirementsofnovelty and utility under
the stringent examination and opposition procedures prescribed in the Indian Patents Act, 1970, but there is
noteven a prima-facie presumption as to the validity ofthe patent granted. Most countries have established nationalregimestoprovideprotectiontotheIPRwithinits jurisdiction.Exceptinthecaseofcopyrights,theprotection grantedtotheinventor/creatorinacountry(suchasIndia) oraregion(suchasEuropeanUnion)isrestrictedtothat territorywhere protection is sought and is notvalid in
other countries or regions. For example, a patent granted
inIndiaisvalidonly for India and notintheUSA.The basicreasonforpatentinganinventionistomakemoney throughexclusivity,i.e.,theinventororhisassigneewould haveamonopolyif: a. Inventorhasmadeanimportantinventionaftertaking
intoaccountthemodicationsthatthecustomer.
b. Patentagenthasdescribedandclaimedtheinvention
correctlyin the patentspecification drafted, then theresultant patent would give the patent owner an exclusivemarket.
Thepatentee can exercise his exclusivityeither by marketingthepatentedinventionhimselforbylicensing
it to a third party.
