  Abstract
  The present study gives an idea on effect of trees on temperature, relative humidity and light intensity. There was an increase in temperature with corresponding increase in distance from the base of trees. There was 1-2º C difference found from 0-6 meter distance away from the base under different tree species. Whereas the relative humidity decreases with corresponding increase in distance .The difference in temperature away from the base of tree was more pronounced in F.benghalensis and F.religosa than E.camaldulensis. This was 8-9º C lower as compared to vegetation free ground. The study emphasizes the role of tree in controlling the micro-climate of holkar science college campus Indore. Maximum shade was observed under F.benghalensisand minimum at E. camaldulensis.The average light cut off was three times more by F.benghalensis than E. camaldulensis out of five test species .The Ficus species were found more effective than other .The study suggest plantation of Ficus species in urban areas to feel comfort in summer months.

  Abstract
  Despite studies of Vitiligo pathogenesis still evades its exact pathway, causes, a cast effective therapy challenge for Indian. Vitiligo is an acquired disorder of pigmentation, caused by decreased production of melanin as a result of dysfunction of melanocytes. In Indian tradition system plants medicine using for treatment of leucoderma but still no effective medicine cure the vitiligo. Indian studies of vitiligo find higher prevalence of vitiligo in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, main possible causes are genetic, cellular, triggering, environmental effects, these gene polymorphism of candidate gene that are part of the immune system or part of melanocytes have both been associated with vitiligo and other autoimmune disorders. Environment Pollution like water, air and food pollution effects human health and increasing in villages and cities of India, environment pollution management and some diseases still gap in knowledge which are challenge for India.

  Abstract
  “Detection of Single nucleotide Polymorphism by T-ARMS PCR of cross bred cattle Karan Fries for A1, A2 beta casein types” to distinguish between A1 and A2 type containing beta-casein and genotyping of hundred Karan Fries cross breed cattle. Casein is the main milk protein where it accounts for 80% of bovine milk protein and contains four fractions (alpha S1-CN, alpha S2-CN, beta-CN and k-CN). Beta casein contributes 25-35% of milk protein and many variants are reported (A1, A2, A3, B, C, D, E, F, G, H1, H2 and I) in different breeds of cattle. The beta casein variants A1 and A2 differs in the 67th amino acid position, the substitution of proline in A2 type with Histidine (in A1) is mainly due to a replacement of “C” nucleotide with “A” nucleotide in that corresponding nucleotide position. One hundred Karan Fries cross breed cattle were selected for genotyping of A1, A2 beta casein gene from the genomic DNA. The beta casein gene was amplified by Multiplex Tetra-Primer Amplification (T-ARMS-PCR). T-ARMS touchdown PCR and subsequent agarose gel electrophoresis could differentiate between the A1, A2 types of beta casein genes in these animals. The screening result showed three genotypes of animal in these 100 animals. The number of A2A2, A1A2 and A1A1 animals are 73, 19 and 8 respectively. The frequency of A2 and A1 alleles are 0.825 and 0.175 respectively.
