Authors: AMITAVA DUTTA  , RAJKUMARI BONY DEVI
Published: October 2023

Four lines were crossed with eleven testers in line x tester mating design for estimation of combining ability and heterosis for yield and its component characters in mustard (Brassica juncea). Lines PM-25 and PM-27 were found to be superior general combiners for length of siliqua and seed yield. PM-25 was also found to be a very good general combiner for number of seeds/siliqua and 1000 seed weight. The cross Varuna x Pusa Tarak showed high sca for seed yield followed by Varuna × Pusa LES-39 while for 1000 seed weight trait, Varuna x PM-28 and Varuna x PM-25 were found to be better. Varuna x Pusa Tarak also showed high sca for total number of siliqua/plant. Among the 44 hybrids, Varuna × Pusa LES-39 recorded highest heterosis for seed yield /plant over mid parent and better parent followed by Varuna × PM-27, Varuna × PM-26, Kranti× PM-27 and Varuna × Pusa Tarak. The results of this study suggest that the cross Varuna x Pusa Les 39 is best for high seed yield due to high siliqua length, number of siliqua at main axis, total number of siliqua/plant and number of seeds/siliqua.

Phyllody is a serious disease ofsesame worldwide and the Present investigation was carried out on transmission of this disease to periwinkle. Infected plants showed characteristic symptoms of witches' broom, stunting, leaf proliferation and bushy appearance. Under field condition, infected plants showed the most common characteristic phyllody symptoms. The pathogen phytoplasma could be successfully transmitted through grafting, leafhopper and dodder from infected sesame to healthy periwinkle plants. Among the methods, leafhopper vector (Orosius albicinctus) mediated transmission of phytoplasma was more efficient from infected sesame to periwinkle plants. Plants raised from infected periwinkle seeds did not show any phyllody symptoms.

The present investigation was carried out to study genetic variability, character association and genetic divergence for yield and its attributing traits among 70 genotypes of safflower at Agricultural Research Station,Tandur. The genotypic coefficients ofvariation (GCV) were less compared to the phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) for all the characters. High GCV was observed for seed yield/plot followed by test weight and high PCV values were observed for oil content, test weight, seed yield/plot and number of effective capitula/plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for seed yield/plot, number ofseeds/capitulum, number of effective capitula/plant and days to maturity. Seed yield/plot was significantly and positively correlated with days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of seeds/capitulum and test weight. Path coefficient analysis indicated that days to maturity exhibited maximum direct effect followed by test weight and number of seeds/capitulum on seed yield. The genotypes were grouped into 11 different clusters based on Mahalanobis D2 statistics. Clusters VIII and IX exhibited maximum inter cluster distance. Seed yield/plot contributed most towards genetic divergence. Highest mean values were recorded for seed yield/plot in cluster IX, number of effective capitula/plant in Cluster X, number of seeds/ capitulum and test weight in Cluster XI.

Published: October 2023

The present study was carried out to estimate gene effect, heterosis, inbreeding depression, heritability and expected genetic advance for seed yield and its component characters in five crosses of castor (Ricinus communis L.). The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among different crosses and among different generations within cross for all the characters studied. In the present study, both additive and non-additive gene actions were found to be important for the expression of seed yield and most of its component traits indicating that intermating among the selected segregants to break the undesirable linkage followed by one or two generations of selfing could facilitate the accumulation of favorable alleles for the improvement of these traits. However, some of the characters in various crosses were governed by fixable (additive and additive x additive) gene effects and hence, these characters could be improved through pedigree method of selection. Significant heterosis and heterobeltiosis in desired direction observed for seed yield and its majority of the components viz., number of total and effective branches/plant, number of capsules on primary raceme, shelling out turn and 100-seed weight suggested the possibility of utilizing hybrid vigour on commercial scale. High estimates of broad as well as narrow sense heritability along with high genetic advance observed for seed yield/plant in cross I (SKI 324 x PCS 124), cross II (ANDCI 10-7 x JH 109) and cross V (ANDCI 10-7 x SKI 324) suggested the preponderance of additive/fixable gene effect and hence this character could be further improved by adopting selections in succeeding segregating generations. The combination of low narrow sense heritability along with low genetic advance detected for few characters indicated the major role of non-additive gene action and therefore, heterosis breeding or population improvement approach would be more effective for the improvement of these traits. It is being suggested that the parental genotypes SKI 324, ANDCI 10-7 and ANDCI 8 due to their presence in high heterotic combinations viz., ANDCI 10-7 x JH 109 and ANDCI 8 x SKI 324 need to be further exploited in future castor breeding programme.

Groundnut is an important edible oil crop plant whose quality and yield are greatly affected by biotic and abiotic stress. The process ofmechanisms ofrecovery fromstress are also critical to its productivity, but are currently poorly characterized. The present investigation was carried out to understand the ability of different elicitors (piperine, reserpine and b-sitosterol) to induce resistance against stress in groundnut. The chlorophyll content in groundnut leaves was measured using SPAD chlorophyll meter following the seed treatment, foliar application and micro-injection of phytochemicals. The SCMR (SPAD chlorophyll meter reading) of phytochemical-treated plants was found to be more in comparison with the untreated plants. All the three phytochemicals were found to be effective in increasing the chlorophyll content in groundnut leaves. MaximumSCMR (42.14) was observed in plants treated with piperine through foliar application method.

Plant spacing manipulations affect the quality and quantity of sunlight for photosynthesis and the branching vis-à-vis crop productivity. Field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different plant spacings (broadcasting, 30 x 30 cm, 45 x 30 cm and 45 x 45 cm and solid rows of 45 cm apart) in conjunction with nitrogen doses (0, 30 and 45 kg/ha) on growth rate of branches and capsules, and seed yield of sesame (Variety Sweta). Branching, a significant plant phenotypic plasticity in sesame was the main attribute affected by plant spacing and N doses. Solid rows of 45 cm apart sowing (2.2 lakh plants/ha) recorded significantly the highest seed yield (8.0 q/ha) among different plant spacing treatments. Crop raised with broadcasting method (approx 2.8 lakh plants/ha) yielded 7.4 q/ha which was significantly higher than other plant spacings of 30×30 cm (1.11 lakh plants/ha), 45×30 cm (0.74 lakh plants/ha) and 45×45 cm (0.49 lakh plants/ha). Application of 45 kg N/ha recorded significantly higher seed yield than 30 kg N/ha and no N across different plant spacings. Except 45×30 cm and 45×45 cm spacings, all other spacings recorded significantly higher seed yield for each increment in N dose.

Growth regulators are widely used in various crops to boost the growth and yield attributing characters and ultimately the yield. The present experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 at IGKV, Raipur, Chhattisgarh in randomized block design with eight treatments and three replications with an objective of finding out the effect of plant growth regulators on growth, yield attributes and yield of linseed variety RLC-92. The treatments consisted of four plant growth regulators (PGRs) with varied concentrations. Results revealed that the application of plant growth regulators significantly improved the growth, yield attributes and yieldof linseed as compared to spray with water. Among the eight treatments, application of auxin @ 1 ppm + GA3 @ 200 ppm (T7) recorded highest growth and yield attributes and seed yield of linseed. The auxin @ 1 ppm + GA3 @ 200 ppm (T7) recorded 26.9% higher seed yield than control (T8) and 15.5 and 11.4% higher seed yield than sole application of auxin @ 1.0 ppm (T1) and GA3 @ 200 ppm (T3) treatments, respectively. However, application of auxin @ 1 ppm + GA3 @ 200 ppm (T7) and GA3 @ 400 ppm (T4) recorded the highest oil content during 2018-19 and 2019-2020, respectively. The maximum oil yield was recorded under the application of GA3 @ 400 ppm (T4) treatment. The application of auxin @ 2.0 ppm (T2) resulted in the highest B:C ratio and was found to be most remunerative for getting good returns.

The current analysis examines the spatio-temporal performance of major edible oilseed crops viz., groundnut, sesame and sunflower in Andhra Pradesh using time series data from 1970-71 to 2018-19. The total period was divided into three sub-periods viz., Period I (1970-71 to 1985-86), Period II (1986-87 to 1999-2000) and Period III (2000-01 to 2018-19). Agro-climatic zones, in which these crops were consistently grown, were selected and their performance was evaluated using compound annual growth rates and decomposition analysis. Growth of area and production of groundnut and sunflower exhibited frequent declined growth rates, particularlyin Period III, signifying the under performance of these crops. The performance of sesame was better vis-a-vis groundnut and sunflower. There was no significant decline in growth rates of yields, which could be partly attributed to efforts from the research community and government to increase the yield through various oilseeds development programmes. Although efforts were made towards increasing area, production and yield, the positive growth momentum of area and production could not be sustained. Shift of major oilseeds' cultivation towards competing crops, low profitability, unremunerative market prices, low farm level technical efficiency, increased costs of inputs, higher biotic and abiotic stresses etc., could be some of the reasons for this scenario. Location specific research with focus on hybrids and HYVs with high oil content, addressing the constraints to technology adoption, favourable price policies, enhancing capacityutilization of processing units, creatingmore efficient supply and value chains mayhelp in meeting the oil and oilseed requirements in the country.

Published: October 2023

Genetic parameters of 50 castor hybrids developed using 10 newly developed male inbred lines and 5 stable pistillate lines were estimated in a line x tester design. Analysis of combining ability depicted significant mean sum of squares for both general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for all the characters which indicated the presence of both additive and non-additive gene actions. The high amount of s 2 SCA and ratioof GCAto SCA variances near to zero indicated that the dominance gene effect was predominant in newly developed lines for all the characters under study. The highest positive gca effect was exhibited by MCP-1-1, for seed yield and number of capsules on primary raceme, effective length of primary raceme and height up to primary raceme. SKP-84 was also good general combiner for traits such as 100-seed weight, number of capsule on primary raceme, nodes to primary raceme and height up to primary raceme. Among the male parents, MP-11-17 was found the best general combiner for cumulative seed yield, raceme length and number of capsule. Cross M-574 x MP-17-17 was identified as the best cross for cumulative seed yield followed by MCP-3 x MP-7-17 and SKP-84 x MP-11-17. These combinations of crosses would be useful in breeding programme for improvement in cumulative seed yield of castor.

Published: October 2023

India is the largest producer of sesame in the world with an area of 16.22 lakh ha and production of 6.57 lakh t and contributing to 10.5% and 11.1% ofthe Worlds' area and production, respectively. The AICRP-sesame centres have developed location-specific improved technologies, which can enhance sesame productivity significantly, but the awareness and adoption of these technologies among farmers is very low. Hence, focused efforts are required to transfer the existing technologies from the AICRP system to the farmers' fields through effective and efficient technology transfer programmes. To have focussed efforts for productivity enhancement and area expansion of sesame, state-wise most efficient sesame cropping districts were identified by estimating the Relative Spread Index (RSI) and Relative Yield Index (RYI). Frontline demonstrations conducted in selected districts in the most efficient, efficient, and moderately efficient districts indicated a huge yield gap and vast potential to improve the sesame productivity under real farm situations. The extension strategies to be followed in technology transfer in various categories of districts for enhancing the productivity and area expansion of sesame crop are mentioned.

Published: October 2023

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), a multipurpose oilseed crop is the only cultivated species in the Carthamus genus. Carthamus spp. have been explored for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses but not for physiological efficiency. Photosynthetic traits of ten wild and ten cultivated species and six interspecific inbred lines were studied to understand the expression of the photosynthetic traits among them, and for trait introgression from wild species in interspecific derivatives. Relations among some physiological traits in interspecific inbred lines differed from those observed in wild and cultivated species. The high photosynthesis (Pn), low transpiration (E) and high intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) could be introgressed from the wild species, C. lanatus and C. turkesthanicusinto safflower cultivars. Inheritance of photosynthetic traitsfrom wild to cultivated speciesindicated that wild species are exploitable for safflower improvement. This study suggests the utilization of wild species for their high Pn, low E and iWUE characteristics for developing abiotic stress-tolerant safflower cultivars.

Published: October 2023

The castor hairy caterpillar, Euproctis fraterna is the most destructive insect pest of castor, damaging the crop during both kharif and rabi seasons. Biocontrol agents, particularly entomopathogens are potential alternatives to chemical pesticides for safe and eco-friendly insect pest management. Pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungi viz., Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium (Nomuraea) rileyi were evaluated against larvae of the E. fraterna under laboratory conditions. Among the entomopathogenic fungi, B. bassiana recorded high pathogenicity against E. fraterna (80 ± 5.8% larval mortality), while moderate pathogenicity was observed with M. rileyi (60 ± 5.8% larval mortality) treated at the concentration of 108 conidia/ml. B. bassiana recorded the least median lethal concentration (LC50) for E. fraterna (4.4 × 105 conidia/ml) as compared to M. rileyi (LC50 at 5.8 x 106conidia/ml). B. bassiana also recorded the shortest median lethal time (LT50 value of 3.9 days) to cause the larval mortality in E. fraterna¸ while M. rileyi recorded LT50 value of 4.5 days. The entomopathogenic fungi, B. bassiana can be used in IPM programme as a potential bio-control agent against E. fraterna in castor.
Comparative evaluation of selected neonicotinoids and conventional insecticide against aphids (Aphis gossypii) and whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci)

Published: October 2023

Polyphagous sucking insect pests like aphids (Aphis gossypii) and whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) causes major problem in fibre crops, oilseed crops, pulses and vegetables. These sucking insect pests cause serious economic losses directly and indirectly by acting as vectors in transmitting several viral diseases in cultivated crops. Neonicotinoids viz., imidacloprid 17.6 SL @ 0.28 ml, acetamiprid 20SP @ 0.1 g, thiacloprid 21.7SC @ 0.28 mL, thiamethoxam 25 WG @ 0.2 g and clothianidin 50 WDG @0.08 g along with monocrotophos 36 SL @ 1 ml per litre water and control (water alone) were tested against nymphs and adults of A. gossypii and B. tabaci following methods recommended by Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC). Among different treatment tested on A. gossypii, imidacloprid was found to be superior with 100% mortality on both nymphs and adults at 72h aftertreatment. When these treatments were tested against B. tabaci, acetamiprid was found to be superior to other neonicotinoids and monocrotophos, resulting in 100% mortality of nymphs and adults at 72h after treatment. Outcome of the studies suggest that neonicotinoids are significantly superior to monocrotophos for management of sucking insect pests. Imidacloprid and acetamiprid, that are systemic, selective with less mammalian toxicity are comparatively safer than conventional insecticide like monocrotophos and hence may be included in IPM practices to manage polyphagous sucking insect pests like aphids and whiteflies in different crop ecosystems.

Authors: Cheng Huaming
Published: October 2023

This paper attempts to analyze and compare the transitivity processes of “Gaixia Ge” by Xiang Yu and its seven English versions from the perspective of the experiential function of Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics and makes a comment on the similarities and differences among them. Through the analysis of the transitivity of the poem and its translations, it is found that there are 6 versions for the first line, 2 versions for the second and the third lines, and 4 versions for the fourth line, in which the transitivity maintains a certain consistency with the original poem. After the analysis of similarities and differences between them, Spearman Correlation is applied in the SPSS. It shows that there is a significant positive relationship of transitivity between the version by Watson and the original poem, among which the translation by Watson is highly correlated with the transitivity of the original poem with the following coefficient, ρ = 1.000. This study can give clues to the study of poems and their translations, by exploring the differences of the transitivity processes, participants and circumstantial elements with the theoretical framework of Functional Grammar.

Evidence was found of a complex, multi-stage tectonic evolution. There were discovered potentially promising stratigraphic oil and gas complexes of the Late Paleozoic and Mesozoic. The deep-seated structure of the region is illustrated by a geological and geophysical section, spatially coincident with the "Turkestan" seismic profile. Based on the lithological and paleogeographic reconstructions, there were identified four major tectonic boundaries: Cambrian-Ordovician, Devonian-Carboniferous, Permian-Early Triassic, and Middle Triassic-Cretaceous. The correlation of the stratigraphic range of the hydrocarbon potential of the Alakol basin has been carried out. The criteria for forecasting hydrocarbon accumulations were substantiated.

No mundo, milhões de pessoas não têm acesso à água limpa, e bilhões não possuem acesso ao saneamento básico. A captação de água da chuva traz diversos benefícios em áreas com escassez hídrica e acesso limitado à água potável. Para obter água de maior qualidade, a implantação de sistemas de descarte do primeiro milímetro em sistemas de captação de água de chuva pode ser eficaz na redução de impurezas que poderiam causar doenças. Este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar a viabilidade do uso da água do primeiro milímetro na agricultura, como uma opção adicional em regiões com baixa disponibilidade de água. O estudo foi realizado no Instituto Nacional do Semiárido (INSA). Foi conduzida uma análise para avaliar a viabilidade de aproveitar a água do primeiro milímetro proveniente do sistema de captação que normalmente é descartada. Foram avaliados parâmetros físico-químicos e microbiológicos da água, com monitoramento durante três meses. O pH observado foi de 7,11, demonstrando conformidade com os requisitos para uso em irrigação. A condutividade elétrica, registrou 102,55 μS/cm, se apresentando em um nível considerado seguro para aplicação na prática de irrigação. Além disso, a presença de micronutrientes e sódio foi identificada. Coliformes totais e Escherichia coli foram identificados na água, indicando restrições para uso em culturas sensíveis.

Has The English NHS Shattered, Metaphorically and Physically? Is it a reflection of a Global Healthcare Crisis?
Authors:   Associate Professor, University of Birmingham, Department of Healthcare Policy and Management, Holt Dr. Clare
Published: October 2023

The English National Health Service (NHS) is one of the largest employers in the world with a global reputation of being at the forefront of medical research and high standards of treatment. Despite this, it is currently in a state of crisis with nurses going on strike for the first time in its history, paramedics also striking, and junior doctors experiencing burnout like never before. Working as a tutor, lecturer, and mentor on healthcare leadership programs in the UK, the author is hearing first-hand how exhausted so many of the English NHS workforce are and they have had enough of not being heard by the leaders of the organization. This critical review explores some of the serious considerations as to why this world-renowned health service is shattered – both in the metaphorical sense, but also physically.

It has become critical to build a de-stoning machine that can be used in our homes whenever we need it. As a result, the goal of this research was to develop and build a wet-method household rice destoning equipment. The design was built utilizing locally accessible materials and was based on the notion of material separation using water as a medium of separation. A reservoir, hopper, de-stoning chamber, washing chamber, impeller, water filter, and brush drum make up the machine. The produced machine was powered by a 1 horsepower variable electric motor that communicated the rotating motion of the driving pulley to the driven pulley, which was supported by bearings, through a V-belt. The machine was built and tested, and it was discovered that 2kg/10minutes and 20.04kg/hour of processed rice were destoned at a de-stoning speed of 400rpm, which is the optimal speed for maximum speed separation. The destoning machine's effectiveness in terms of stone removal is approximately approaching 100 percent free of impurities, making it ideal for residential usage. This discovery elucidates the potential to deal with the challenges of stone removal from locally produced rice using hand and manual method, which are inefficient, time and energy wastage, it acts as a rice processing industry innovation.

The Epistemology of The Absolute Vacuum and Its Worlds
Authors:   West Virginia State University the Mocombeian Foundation, Inc., Mocombe Paul C.
Published: October 2023

This article highlights how we humans know about what Mocombe calls the absolute vacuum and the worlds that it produces in his theories of phenomenological structuralism and consciousness field theory. The absolute vacuum is the Mocombeian ontological name for the fifth dimensional probability wavefunction that gives rise to the material worlds, their facts, relations of ideas, and mathematical principles, we as a species experience. The work explores the epistemologies, which are divided between materialism and post-materialism, involved in knowing about consciousness, the absolute vacuum, and its material worlds.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition with severe repercussions in surgical treatment. One important component of this effect is the complex link between diabetes and Surgical Site Infections (SSI). Diabetes severely slows wound healing, owing to poor microvascular circulation, decreased collagen production, and diminished immunological responses. Diabetic patients are more likely to develop SSI as a result of variables such as hyperglycemia, neuropathy, obesity, and peripheral vascular disease. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus species are common bacterial infections that cause SSI in diabetics. Furthermore, this review emphasizes important biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein and procalcitonin, which provide indications for SSI in diabetics. Deep tissue involvement, sepsis, and extended hospitalization are among the consequences associated with these infections, which need quick and customized care measures. By focusing on both diabetes control and SSI prevention, healthcare practitioners may reduce the significant burden both conditions place on patients and the healthcare system, thereby improving outcomes for diabetic patients having surgical operations.

The elastic properties of the aorta are modified in numerous cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases. Multiple studies have evaluated aortic stiffness in myriads of disease state, albeit only few Indian studies have estimated the normal values of aortic stiffness in healthy population. To the best of our knowledge, till date no research has been undertaken to determine the age and gender specific value ranges of aortic stiffness parameters in healthy subjects. Hence, in the present study we endeavoured to estimate these values in our distinctive study groups of healthy adults. This was a prospective observational study in which 58 healthy adults were enrolled during the turbulent corona pandemic. Study group was of the age group 18-60 years of either sex and was arbitrarily divided into six groups. Exhaustive M-mode and Tissue doppler Imaging was performed by 4Dimensional XStrain echocardiography system for extensive evaluation of multiple M-mode and Tissue Doppler imaging derived parameters of Aortic stiffness and superior wall velocities of ascending aorta. AOS, AOD, Aortic strain, and elasticity modulus were greater in males. On the contrary Aortic superior wall velocities (SAO, EAO, and AAO) were higher in females. Increasing age led to a decline in majority of stiffness parameters derived by M-mode echocardiography. Correspondingly EAO determined by TDI of superior wall of aorta, showed a deterioration with advancing age. The authors report a normal range of M-mode and TDI derived values of Aortic stiffness of ascending aorta, in healthy Indian adults. Difference in magnitude of aortic elasticity indices has been demonstrated in men and women, as well as in different subsets of the study group.
