This study investigates the military stability of South Asia, after
overt display of nuclear explosions by Pakistan and India in May
1998. The two countries have been loggerhead on Kashmir dispute
since their inception in 1948. Both have fought three major wars
and are in the process of fighting a limited war in the Himalayan
Mountains for the last seventeen years. The specific emphasis was
on the analyses of the genesis of problem and the roots of mistrust
between the two countries. The present day military scenario and
relationship of both countries have been discussed with special
emphasis on the military government in Pakistan and hard-line
religious government in India. The recent Kargil crisis in 1999,
soon after nuclearization of both countries was also discussed
during the course of study. The study explained the problem areas,
arms race and nuclear thresholds of two countries. It also briefly
touched upon the reasons for nonadherence of nonproliferation
treaties in vogue by the two countries. The study also includes the
overall geopolitical environments of South Asia including the China
factor in the region. The study advocates that the world, in
general, and South Asia, in particular, will remain under the
clouds of nuclear holocaust due to Pakistan and India, unless
Kashmir problem is amicably solved. In this regard the importance
of intervention by world powers especially United States is
extremely important. Both Pakistan and India have failed to resolve
their core issue of Kashmir by bilateral talks so far; thus, third
party intervention is extremely essential. If world powers fail to
do so, it is a matter of time only when both countries will once
again indulge in another full-scale war, which may have a potential
to turn into a nuclear war.
A thorough survey of four tehsils of Sargodha District was carried
out to investigate the present status of citrus decline in citrus
orchards. The maximum fungi (39.52 %) were isolated from the roots
followed by the soil (38.86%). The maximum Fusarium spp followed by
Aspergillus and Alternaria were isolated from the collected samples
of roots and soil from the four tehsils of Sargodha District. The
maximum Fusarium spp was isolated from the roots of declining
citrus trees from the tehsil Bhalwal (68.57%) followed by the Kot
Momin (65.87%), Sillanwali (55.87%) and Sargodha (50.32%). F.
solani gave the maximum mycelial growth on the Corn Meal Dextrose
Agar medium followed by the Potato Dextrose Agar medium and then
Malt Extract Agar medium. The maximum growth of F. solani was
observed at pH 6 followed by 5, 4 and 7. While minimum growth was
obtained at 3, 8 and 9 pH respectively Toxin studies were also
carried out using thin layer chromatography which revealed that F.
Solani produces toxins (anhydrofusarubin) which may cause decline
in citrus.
Molecular markers are useful for precise assessment of diversity
and phylogenetic relationships among different species and related
genera at the DNA level without some of the over simplifying
assumptions associated with calculating genetic diversity based on
pedigree history. The objective of present study was to have a
basic understanding of the genetic diversity that exists in the
germplasm available for breeding, which is fundamental for the
success of any breeding program. For this study 40 sugarcane
accessions were collected from the germplasm source. The accessions
consist of advance lines, approved varieties and wild species (S.
barberi). Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and
Micro-satellite (SSR) analysis was performed using 80 primers. Use
of SSR and RAPD primers together offers the potential of more cost
effective data acquisition than is the case with other
technologies. These primers sequence vary in different varieties of
sugarcane, and this variability may be used to develop molecular
markers for mapping sugarcane genes and traits, these sequences
being the part of sugarcane genome predicted to be most immediately
useful to plant breeder and geneticists.
Study was conducted to evaluate the effect of temperature, light,
salinity, drought stress, field capacity, pH and sowing depth on
germination of Carthamus oxyacantha M. Bieb. All experiments were
laid out in completely randomized design each with four
replications. Data were recorded for 15 days on parameter like
germination percentage, time to start germination, time to 50%
germination, mean germination time and germination index. Mean
germination time and germination index were significant in both
salinity and drought stress, except time to start germination and
time to 50% germination which were non significant. Increasing
field capacity from 0 to 100% increase emergence percentage, time
to start emergence, time to 50% emergence, mean emergence time and
emergence index. Maximum germination was occurred at neutral pH 7.
Emergence decreased with increase in sowing depth with maximum seed
grown (72.50%) at soil surface 0 cm and minimum (35.00%) at 6cm.
