Profile: Parker India Group manufactures neem based products such as neem oil, cake, soap, shampoo, seed and pet care products. We also work for the development and commercialization of agro-based products, recombinant proteins including therapeutic proteins, monoclonal antibodies, proteins of nutritional value, and industrial enzymes using both conventional fermentation route and from transgenic plants. We are engaged in the development and production of recombinant products derived from transgenic plants for human health and animal health. Parker Neem® cake is the residue of the neem oil. We obtain this cake from the neem kernel which has been crushed to extract the neem oil. Seeds remain viable for diverse length of time and depend on species and outside atmospheric conditions. The embryo inside the seed coat needs something to get its metabolism activated and to start the embryo growing. They need some moisture to get their biochemistry activated, and warm temperature to allow for the chemistry of life to proceed. Initial nutrition to the germinating seed is provided by cotyledons and after that seeds require extra outside nutrition to survive in the outer world.
