Dr. Ratikanta Maiti started his scientific career since 1962 till now (2017) and contributed substantially in multidisciplinary research lines both on basic and applied aspects on plants and crops and has earned international fame. Being borne in a very poor family, he struggled hard against his poverty and obstacle and achieved worldwide fame for his innovative scientific contributions owing to his strong determination, dedication and honesty. This will be a source of motivation to young generations. He published more than 450 research papers and more than 50 books on plants, crops and forest science which will give inspiration to young scientist. He received several international awards to his great satisfaction. He developed an international networker working on bioresource and interacting scientists from 22 countries globally. His purpose of writing this monograph will motivate young scientists about how to achieve success against all obstacles with strong determination and dedication. Besides this extensive review on various plants and most of the crops will help the young scientists to learn various novel simple technologies and research advances on plants and crops. He developed innovative techniques for screening crop cultivars for tolerance to salinity, drought and abiotic stresses. He developed techniques for propagation of wild chilli and cactus spp. In his opinion this will give excellent feed backs on multidisciplinary researches both on plants and crops. This will serve as classical example of excellent contribution of a dedicated scientist in multidisciplinary research lines.
