The global population is projected to reach almost 10 billion by
2050, and food and feed production will need to increase by 70%.
Wheat, maize and sorghum are three key cereals which provide
nutrition for the majority of the world's population. Their
production is affected by various abiotic stresses which cause
significant yield losses. The effects of climate change also
increase the frequency and severity of such abiotic stresses.
Molecular breeding technologies offer real hope for improving crop
yields. Although significant progress has been made over the last
few years, there is still a need to bridge the large gap between
yields in the most favorable and most stressful conditions. This
book: - Provides a valuable resource for wheat, maize and sorghum
scientists working on breeding and molecular biology, physiology
and biotechnology. - Presents the latest in-depth research in the
area of abiotic stress tolerance and yield improvements. - Contains
the necessary information to allow plant breeders to apply this
research to effectively breed new varieties of these crops. It
provides a consolidated reference for plant breeders and crop
scientists working on the challenges of enhanced crop productivity
and climate change adaptability.
Plant parasitic nematodes are costly burdens of crop production,
causing an estimated US$80 - 118 billion per year in damage to
crops. They are associated with nearly every important agricultural
crop, and are a significant constraint on global food security.
Regulations on the use of chemical pesticides have resulted in
growing interest in alternative methods of nematode control. Future
changes in climate, cropping systems, food habits, as well as
social and environmental factors also affect the options for
nematode control. Taking a systematic crop by crop approach, this
book: Outlines the economic importance of specific plant parasitic
nematode problems on the major food and industrial crops. Presents
the state-of-the-art management strategies that have been developed
to reduce specific nematode impacts, and outlines their
limitations. Contains case studies to illustrate impact in the
field. Aims to anticipate future changes in nematode disease
pressure that might develop as a result of climate change, and new
cropping systems.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is important cereal crop and staple
food of people of Pakistan. It occupies the first position in area
amongst the cereal crops and covers about 65% of food crop area in
Pakistan. Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera:
Tenebrionidae) are cosmopolitan insects that are associated with
stored grains. The red flour beetle feed only on flour and broken
kernels. In addition to grain they attack dried feeds, dry fruits,
pulses and prepared cereal foods such as cornflakes and numerous
other stored food products. Flour beetles contaminate wheat and
other cereal products by their feces and cast -off exoskeleton. The
odors that they leave and discoloration of white cereal products to
a dirty gray. Both the larva and the adult cause damage. Chemicals
are quite harmful and very expensive and cause many human health
problems. Keeping in view the importance of these problems, present
studies were under taken as an attempt to find out the inherent and
comparative resistance of different wheat varieties against Red
flour beetles, which could be utilized in developing wheat
varieties resistance against this pest in future.
Wheat, Triticum aestivum (L.), is the major crop with the largest
area under cultivation in Pakistan and it plays a significant role
in the economic stability of the country. Wheat possesses a high
food value and provides all the necessary constituents of human
life in an adequate and well-balanced form as compared to other
cereals. Wheat being the major food grains, there has been
considerable increase in its consumption due to population
pressure, income improvement and substitution effects. Out of the
total food grain consumption, the share of the wheat is more than
70 percent. It is cultivated over 8069 thousand hectares with
annual production of 19235 thousand tons. The average yield in the
year 2003 was 2384 kg/ha. The aphid problem can be tackled with the
application of commonly used insecticides but the drawback lies
with their haphazard use resulting in problems of health hazards,
environmental pollution and development of resistance in insects
against insecticides. It is, therefore, advisable to screen out
wheat varieties/cultivars possessing resistance against aphids.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the most important
Flavivirida infections with significant clinical problems
throughout the world in humans. Six major Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
genotypes and hundreds of subtypes have been identified globally.
All these genotypes are generally studied for epidemiology, their
vaccine development and clinical management. This thesis comments
the frequency distribution of various HCV genotypes circulate in
different areas/districts of Khyber Pakhtoonkhaw Province of
Pakistan. Out of the tested samples, genotype specific PCR
fragments were observed in 299 (74.82%) patient serum samples. The
distribution of genotypes of the typeable samples was as follows: 3
patients (0.72%) each were infected with genotype 1a and genotype
1b; 240 patients (80.26%) of genotype 3a; 25 patients (6.00%)
genotype 3b; and 28 patients (6.73%) were observed as with mixed
genotypic infection. Sums of 116 serum samples (27.88%) were still
found untypeable by the used molecular genotyping system. In
conclusion, HCV genotypes 1a, 1b, 3a and 3b are distributed in
various parts of KPK among which the genotype 3a is the most
frequent genotype.
Common (bread) wheat is an allohexaploid species (Triticum aestivum
L.) with 3 compensating genomes AABBDD (2n=6x=42 chromosomes).
Traditionally genetic and physical mapping in this most important
cereal crop has been based on molecular markers (RFLPs, PCR, Insitu
hybridization etc). The recent development in producing deletion
lines of common wheat (using Aegilops cylindricum genome) has
revolutionized the physical mapping of wheat chromosomes. During
present study, deletion lines of chromosomes 5A of common wheat
were used to identify RAPD (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA)
based molecular markers specific for short and/or long arm of
chromosome 5A. Out of the 7 RAPD primers used, OPA-07 showed useful
polymorphism for long arm deletion lines viz; del5AL-10 and
del5AL-23. By comparing the C-banding karyotype of the deletion
lines, it is inferred that the primer (OPA-07) anneals to the
distal half of the long arm of chromosome 5A.
The present book primarily deals with the lower rim substituted
calix 4]arene derivatives and their metal ion complexes, and the
biomimetic and biological studies of these complexes. Broadly, the
book could be divided into the following three parts: (i) The K+
was found to act as template in the formation of calix 4]arene
tetra-amide derivative exclusively, with the generation of calix
4]arene-monoanion and the structure of this has been characterized
by single crystal XRD study. (ii) Metal ion complexes of
p-tert-butylcalix 4]arene-diacid with Mn(II), Mn(IV), Fe(III),
Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Sn(IV) have been discussed.
Co-administration of lead and tin complexes on porphyrin
metabolism, oxidative stress and distribution of metal ion
concentration in blood and soft tissues in rats have been
evaluated. (iii) Anthracene anchored derivatives of
p-tert-butyl-calix 4]arene were subjected to the binding studies
with the divalent metal ions. Based on the photo-physical studies,
an imine-based derivative were found to act as a chemosensor for
Fe(II)and Cu(II) ions.
The purpose of this book is to supply the basic Geologic and
Geophysical information's about the Miano Area, Sindh Pakistan.

Tuberculosis is the most important contagious disease of the world
causes morbidity and mortality among adults. Timely and accurate
detection is very essential to decline the morbidity and mortality
of the disease. In present study a total of 2413 patient's sputum
samples were screened for Tuberculosis. Out of 2413 suspected
samples, 432 sputum samples were found positive. Prevalence rate
was 17.9%. Data analysis revealed that out of these 432 of TB
positive patients 190 were males and 242 were females. The
distribution breakup of the TB positive patients was 45, 34, 55,
67, 35, 39, 41,32, 49 and 35 patients come from the village Jagal,
Noor Colony, Malkiyar, Khalabat Township, Shah Maqsood, Ali Khan,
Kangrha Colony, Khanpur, Darwesh and Mungh respectively. In present
study high prevalence rate was found in age group of 15-30 (23 %).
It has been noted that females, 242 (56%) are more affected of
Tuberculosis as compared to males, 190 (44%). Our findings indicate
that majority of the positive patients have poor socioeconomic
conditions. Out of 432 positive patients, 285 (65.98%) belonged to
lower class socioeconomic status.

In Artificial Intelligence knowledge representation is a
combination of data structures and interpretive procedures that
leads to knowledgeable behavior. It is required to investigate such
knowledge representation technique in which knowledge can be easily
represented in computer. This book compares various knowledge
representation techniques and proves that predicate logic is more
efficient and accurate knowledge representation scheme. The
algorithm presented in this book splits the English text into
phrases/constituents and then represents these in predicate logic.
Another algorithm splits the Urdu text into phrases/constituents
and then represents these in predicate logic. These algorithms also
regenerate the original sentences from the representation in order
to check the accuracy of representation. These algorithms have been
tested on real text of English and Urdu. As the algorithms work on
pre-tagged input files, so if the tagging is done correctly then
these algorithms achieve high level of accurately. Therefore it is
required that there should be proper rules with the help of which
one can correctly tag the input text into phrases/constituents.
