A Tribute to Dr. R.K. Arora
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the sad demise of Dr. R. K. Arora, destiny has snatched
from India, rather South-East Asia one of the ablest and
devoted explorers of plant genetic diversity. He botanised
from hot dry deserts of Rajasthan to dense evergreen
forests of north-east and east India, and from cold & dry
regions of Leh-Ladakh to humid evergreen forests far
south in pennisular India. Dr. Arora’s hard and scholarly
work on collection study and analysis of land races and
wild relatives of crop plants contributed very largely to
our knowledge of India’s biodiversity, conservation of
valuable germplasm and significant improvement in many
economic crops in India and other countries. His scientific
conclusions have remained undisputed.
