Published: March 2021

Trianthema triquetra Rottler & Willd (Tt.Cr) is used in traditional practices as a remedy for various ailments. Hence current research was commenced to authenticate the folkloric uses. To discover spasmolytic potential, Tt.Cr was applied to isolate jejunum, while isolated tracheal and aorta tissues were used to determine the tissue relaxing properties of the extract. Anti-lipoxygenase activity was determined in vitro using Baicalein as standard. In vivo testing was carried to examine the potentiality of the herb to treat pyrexia and pain. Tt.Cr showed dose-dependent (0.01 - 3.0 mg/ml) spasmolytic effects in jejunum tissues and relaxed K+ (80 mM)-induced spasm and triggered rightwards shift of Ca+2 concentration-response curves. Carbachol (1μM)- together with K+ (80 mM) - induced tracheal spasm was also relaxed by Tt.Cr (0.01 to 1.0 mg/ml). Additionally, Tt.Cr (0.01 - 1.0 mg/ml) relaxed phenylephrine (1 μM) and K+ (80 mM) - treated constricted rabbit aorta. Tt.Cr (0.5 mM) inhibited lipoxygenase enzyme. Tt.Cr (80 mg/kg) settled pyrexia in rabbits comparable to aspirin and prolonged tail deflection time in mice (100 mg/kg) hence proving analgesic activity. The Tt.Cr demonstrated antispasmodic, bronchodilation and vasodilation properties probably by blocking calcium channels. These outcomes generate logic behind ancient application of herb for numerous ailments such as asthma, cough, heart problems and spasm.

Published: March 2021

Genetic divergence was carried out in 15 Indian mustard varieties/strains, 4 testers and 60 F1s developed by crossing 15 lines with 4 testers. Based on D2 values between the pair of genotypes, 19 parental lines were grouped into five clusters in E1 (timely sown) & E2 (late sown) condition. In E1, cluster II was the largest having 8 genotypes followed by cluster I and IV with four genotypes. Whereas, in E2 cluster I was largest having 9 genotypes followed by cluster V which had four genotypes. In E1 the intra-cluster distance ranged from 0.00 (cluster V) to 581.64 (cluster IV). Cluster IV and V were the most diverse with inter-cluster distance of 7169.70 followed by cluster II and V (4829.11). Whereas, in E2 the intra-cluster distance ranged from 0.00 (cluster IV) to 296.03 (cluster V). Clusters IV and V were the most diverse with inter-cluster distance of 1894.16. The 60 F1s were grouped into eight clusters in E1 and E2. In E1, the maximum number of genotypes were grouped in clusters I and VI (12) and the intra-cluster distance ranged from 111.59 to 318.07. The maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster IV and VIII (3554.76). Whereas, in E2 maximum number of genotypes grouped in cluster III (15) and intra-cluster distance ranged from 0.00 to 351.31.

Published: March 2021

To study the genotypic variation in the rate of grain filling and contribution of culm reserves to yield in wheat, an experiment was conducted consisting 12 popular cultivars of Bangladesh, viz., BARI Gom21 (Shatabdi), BARI Gom22 (Shufi), BARI Gom23 (Bijoy), BARI Gom24 (Prodip), BARI Gom25, BARI Gom26, Akbar (BAW 43), BARI Gom18 (Protiva), BARI Gom19 (Sourav), BARI Gom20 (Gourab), Agrani (BAW38), and Kanchan (BAW28). Tillers were sampled from anthesis to maturity to determine the changes in dry weights of different parts to examine the contribution of culm reserves to grain yield. The results in the experiment revealed that the grain yield varied from 2.61 to 5.35 ton/ha with the mean of 4.18 ton/ha. Among the cultivars BARI Gom24, BARI Gom26, BARI Gom19, and BARI Gom23 appeared as high yielders while Kanchan, Agrani, BARI Gom20, BARI Gom22 as the low yielders. Generally, high yielding cultivars showed higher total dry mass accumulation compared to low yielding ones. Moreover, high yielding cultivars also showed higher water soluble carbohydrates (WSCs) contents in culm at milk ripe stage than the low yielders. In general, contribution of culm WSCs to grain yield was more in high yielders than low yielders and it ranged from 2 to 29% of total grain weight. So, higher contribution of culm reserves resulted in higher grain yield of wheat.

Published: March 2021

The results of antioxidant assays with Gymnema sylvestre leaf extracts revealed that methanol, acetone, and aqueous extracts possessed maximum DPPH (83, 83, and 75%) and ABTS scavenging potential (85, 71, and 82%). Chloroform possessed maximum total flavonoid (24.6 mg/100 ml) and total iron contents (435.3 ± 0.0125 mg FeSO4 E/G). The extracts of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and chloroform of Gymnema sylvestre leaves displayed an IC50 value of 170.2, 44.4, 131.6 μg/ml, respectively in α-glucosidase inhibition assay. Methanol and aqueous extracts showed maximum inhibition of E. ammni (17 ± 2.0 and 19.6 ± 0.57 mm), E. coli (15.3 ± 0.57 and 17.6 ± 0.57 mm), and S. aureus (16.6 ± 1.52 and 19.3 ± 1.15 mm). It may be concluded that all potential effects of G. sylvestre leaf extracts were due to the presence of phytochemical constituents such as flavonoids, steroids, quinones, phenols, triterpenoids, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins. Present findings suggest that these extracts present a satisfactory source for the preparation of antioxidant and antidiabetic medicines.

With its unique square-shaped culm, Chimonobambusa hirtinoda C.S. Chao & K.M. Lan is a critically endangered species, and its natural habitat is solely restricted to Doupeng Mountain in Guizhou, China. Two small-insert libraries from C. hirtinoda were constructed and sequenced. Approximately 127.83 Gb of highquality reads were generated and assembled into 9,320,997 contigs with a N50 length of 213bp, thereby producing 8,867,344 scaffolds with total length of 2.01 Gb. An estimated genome size of C. hirtinode was 2.86 Gb on the basis of k-mer frequency analysis, with the GC content of 45.40%. The repeat rate and heterozygous ratio were 74.11 and 1.48% in C. hirtinoda genome, respectively. Finally, 65,398 SSR loci were identified in the assembled contigs, including 58.66% tri-nucleotide, 27.42% di-nucleotide, 7.94% tetranucleotide, 3.67% penta-nucleotide, and 2.31% hexa-nucleotide. Results of this study are useful not only for ecological conservation of C. hirtinoda, but also for phylogenetic studies.

Regardless of land use, the results indicated significant differences in all the studied parameters. Total % SOC ranged from 0.52 to 0.72 for conventional farm samples (mean 0.62%) and 0.63 to 1.59 for the organic samples (mean 1.19). Bulk density (g/cc) ranged from 0.43 to 0.81 (mean 0. 62) for conventional and 0.17 to 0.28 (mean 0.20) organic farm soils. Organic manures increased microbial biomass carbon by 117% and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration by 181% over conventional farming. The results suggested that organic matter is better protected in organic soils and are consequently less vulnerable to mineralization.

Isolation and identification of mycorrhizal fungi from the roots of Rhynchostylis retusa indicated that the cultural and microscopic features, namely colony appearance, colony colour, diameter of vegetative hyphae, presence of monilioid cells, right angle branching pattern of the fungal endophyte corroborated the identity of the fungus Rhizoctonia like anamorphs of Ceratobasidium species. Fungal identity was further confirmed through sequencing and analysis of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA). ITS sequence of the isolate RhY10A6 (accession no. MN120903.1) showed > 99% similarity with several isolates of the teleomorphic fungus Ceratobasidium sp. in NCBI mega blast search. The phylogenetic analysis based on maximum parsimony method, this orchid mycorrhizal fungus clustered with several isolates of Ceratobasidium sp. or Rhizoctonia like fungi. It showed near distant relation with Ceratobasidium ramicola (GeneBank accession no. NR_138368.1) which is an orchid mycorrhizal fungus. Therefore, molecular characterization validated the morphological data. The techniques established in this orchid will facilitate to isolate and accurate identification of mycorrhizal fungus.

Published: March 2021

An experiment was conducted to study dry matter partitioning, yield and grain protein content of fine aromatic Boro rice (cv. BRRI dhan50) in response to nitrogen and potassium fertilization. The experiment consisted of four levels of nitrogen viz., 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg/ha and four levels of potassium viz., 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg/ha. The results revealed that at growth stage, the highest total dry matter partitioning and accumulation were obtained from 150 kg N/ha along with 90 kg K/ha at physiological maturity stage. At harvest, the highest number of tillers/hill (8.58), number of grains/panicle (113.9), grain yield (5.15 t/ha) and grain protein content (8.30%) were obtained from 100 kg N/ha along with 90 kg K/ha. Total dry matter partitioning and accumulation were greatly influenced by the application of 150 kg N/ha along with 90 kg K/ha. Application of 100 kg N/ha along with 90 kg K/ha interaction appeared as the promising practice in fine aromatic rice (cv. BRRI dhan50) cultivation in terms of yield and grain protein content.

Published: March 2021

Sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] germplasms are unique as they are heterozygous, vegitatively as well as sexually propagated and polyploid in nature. Forty-four germplasms from local farmer’s field and from various centres of India were determined using 15 RAPD and 15 ISSR markers to evaluate their genetic relatedness. Average polymorphisms for RAPD and ISSR markers were found to be 86.72 and 81.64%, respectively. The OPM series primer produced 145 total bands with 138 polymorphic loci and ISSR markers gave 116 total bands with 101 polymorphic loci. The clusters were made using the UPGMA method using both the RAPD and ISSR data and group diverse yet similar germplasm in two different clusters. This gives ample information to use them in further improvement programme.

Expression of ZmNAC3 responsive to various abiotic stresses in maize (Zea mays L.)
Authors: Li Xiulan , Jiang Yueshui
Published: March 2021

NAC proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that have a variety of crucial roles in plant growth, development and response to stress. More than 100 members of NAC genes have been identified in maize genome, but almost all of them are not known for their expression profile and functions in plants. In this study, a NAC gene ZmNAC3 from maize was cloned using rapid amplification of cDNA ends. ZmNAC3 encodes a nucleus-targeted protein that has an extremely conserved NAC domain in the N-terminus. Expression of ZmNAC3 was greatly up-regulated by high salinity and low temperature, down-regulated by drought, but not responsive to exogenous abscisic acid (ABA). Furthermore, several cis-acting elements in response to stress were found in ZmNAC3 promoter region. These results suggest that ZmNAC3 encodes a NAC-domain protein which may function in the response of maize to abiotic stress.

Published: March 2021

Six red sweet pepper genotypes viz., RSPUHF-1, RSPUHF-2, RSPUHF-3, RSPUHF-4, RSPUHF-5 and RSPUHF-7 and their crosses using half-diallel excluding reciprocals were evaluated for combining ability to obtain desired hybrids. Analysis of variance for combining ability revealed that variances due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were highly significant for all the characters indicating the importance of additive and non-additive gene effects. RSPUHF-3 (‒1.42* and ‒1.5*) and RSPUHF-7 (‒1.25* and ‒1.54*) were found as reliable combiners for earliness and maturity. Whereas, the parents RSPUHF-1 (0.53*, 0.78*, ‒0.5, 0.12*, 0.25*), RSPUHF-2 (1.49*, 2.19*, 6.41*, 0.63*, 2.21*) and RSPUHF-4 (0.69*, 0.9*, 9.92*, 0.47*, 1.28*) were good general combiners for fruit set per cent, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield per plant and fruit yield per m2. Amongst, the crosses, RSPUHF-3 x RSPUHF-2 (0.95*), RSPUHF-4 x RSPUHF-2 (0.77*) and RSPUHF-5 x RSPUHF-2 (0.86*) were found to be the best specific combinations for increased fruit yield and component characters. Further, on the basis of per se performance it may be identified for release after multi location testing the above hybrids have been found to be the most promising for exploitation of heterosis.

Published: March 2021

The effects of application of calcium-containing natural fertilizer on the functional state of the tea plant were studied. Application of calcium resulted weakening of the negative effects of high temperatures and water deficiency due to an increase in its heat resistance (on average by 30 - 40%), an increase in catalase activity (on average 5 - 10 %), as well as adaptive rearrangement of pigment ratio to increasing the content of carotenoids, chlorophylls and the their functional activity. In general, the more efficient functioning of the signaling intracellular network due to the calcium application provided better adaptability of plants to extreme conditions and more efficient recovery after subsequent rehydration, which in a whole contributed to an increase in shoot growth activity (on average 20%) and an increase in yield by an average of 27 - 33%.

Published: March 2021

Genetics of Turcicum leaf blight (TLB) was to explore the mode of inheritance in maize caused by Exserohilum turcicum is a serious foliar disease. The genetics was estimated with the help of two crosses (CM 212 × V 336 and CM 212 × CM 145) from data of six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2). The scaling tests as well as joint scaling tests revealed that the inadequacy of simple additive-dominance model and justifying the use of six parameter model for the detection of gene interactions in both the crosses for resistance to Turcicum leaf blight. All the scaling tests (A, B, C and D) were significant for the cross CM 212 × CM 145 and for the cross CM 212 × V 336 only A and C tests were significant. Based on the signs of [h] and [l] gene effects, complementary gene interaction for cross CM 212 × V 336 and duplicate gene interaction for cross CM 212 × CM 145 were evident in the inheritance of Turcicum leaf blight.
Exploiting Multidisciplinary Conferences in Radiology: Teaching and Learning Opportunities for Medical Students, Radiologists and Clinicians
Authors: Petsch Ilona , Velasco González Aglaé , Buerke Boris
Published: March 2021

Multidisciplinary conferences (MCs) including tumor boards (TBs) holding teaching and learning opportunities for medical knowledge should be exploited as educational settings for medical students in radiology. A total of 108 MCs in radiology were analysed on interaction among students, radiologists and clinicians by non-participatory observation in 2019. Data were documented with a standardised observation sheet on criteria of teaching and learning interaction, then categorised and coded. The qualitative analysis was outlined based on two modified pedagogical principles of proactive learning, and teaching and learning processes. Results show that medical students join MCs on their own initiative. However, participation is passive. Interaction with radiologists and clinicians is limited. Although radiologists encourage students to join clinical discussions, to ask questions, and to assist in preparation of case demonstrations, students rarely seize the opportunity. The paper concludes that student interaction with radiologists and clinicians is limited regarding radiology and other medical disciplines. Students should be engaged in clinical discussions; be integrated in assisting radiologists in preparation and follow-up of case demonstrations to learn about imaging; be guided in case demonstrations to understand that clinical decisions depend on information in imaging. MCs can be exploited for teaching and proactive learning by students, radiologists and clinicians.

Published: March 2021

A serious game is a media based on the narrative of a game focused on learning. The narrative of a game brings elements and mechanics that motivate the participation and engagement of the players. This is because games are a constant in human development as they formalize cultural activities with social function, being full of meanings. Moreover, the possibilities found in the game narratives contribute to the construction of more participatory plots, since the player can act actively in the course of the story. The narrative and engagement of serious games are of prime importance to distance learning in the health field. In Brazil, the Open University of the Unified Health System (UNA-SUS/UFMA) develops serious games as educational resources to train health professionals. This paper presents the design process of the Clinical Case Game, a serious game for diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions, addressed to doctors in Brazil. A multidisciplinary and human-centred design approach was adopted to develop the game. It involved medical doctors, educators, IT professionals, information designers and game designers, who coordinated the team and acted on the balance of the dynamics involved, that is, the narrative and playful pleasure. The methodology employed consisted of a workshop; content and prototype production; prototype testing with users; and refinements for the final version of the game. The results suggested that narrative unity must be coherent for serious games on health and highlight the relevance of serious games as high potential resources in the educational process.
