The ever increasing energy load has attracted signifi cant attention on the development and growth of renewable resources. Many workers have reported conversion of waste materials to useful compost. Lignocellulose consists of the three constituents indicated as cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. Lignocellulosic biomass can be reused in the production of chemicals and fuels. Cellulose and hemicellulose can be degraded into sugars, which are preliminary source for fermentation, biocatalytic and chemocatalytic processes to value-added products. A large number of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi are capable of producing cellulases and hemicellulases but only a limited number of these microorganisms are capable of producing lignin degrading enzymes. There are numerous methods available for the isolation of lignocellulose degrading microbial consortium. Lignocellulose compounds are most abundant agricultural residues present in the world. In this short review, updated account is presented on various aspects of lignocellulose compounds which can be utilized by fungi, actinomycetes and bacteria. The lignocellulytic utilizing microbial consortium can be used for the conversion of biomass feedstock to useful bio-based products. The use of farming crop wastes involves a separation of the polymeric compounds-cellulose and hemicelluloses. This approach comes under sustainable "green" biotechnology.

The present investigation was conducted at Horticultural Research Farm J. V. College, Baraut, Baghpat. The experiment carried out following Complete randomized design (CRD) with three replications of eight treatment combinations including three levels GA3 and single dose of nitrogen, In which Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) cv. Double is used to effect on growth, flowering and bulb production response of GA3 (100, 150 and 200 ppm) and single dose of nitrogen 7g along with having control, these doses were applied with check. Growth regulators results also indicated that, GA3 150 ppm and nitrogen @7g/pot decreases the days to sprouting and increases maximum number of sprout per bulb as compared to other treatment of gibberellic acid, while GA3 200 ppm and nitrogen @ 7 g observed the better effect on , number of leaves per plant, length of leaf, days taken to first flowering spike initiation, number of florets per spike, length of spike, number of spikes per plant, weight of spike and bulb production bulbs per plant of tuberose in western Uttar Pradesh condition.
