اقبال فارسی پر زیادہ توجہ دیتے تھے۔ اردو کا پہلا مجموعہ کلام بانگ درا ہے جو 1924ء میں سامنے آیا۔ اقبال نے جتنی نظمیں انجمن حمایت اسلام کے جلسوں میں پڑھیں ، لاہور کے مشاعروں میں پڑھیں ان سب کو اکٹھا کیا گیا انہیں بانگ درا میں شامل کیا گیا ہے۔ جو کلام نہیں مل سکا یا جو کلام اقبال سے کاٹ دیا تھا وہ بھی اب متروک کلام اقبال کی شکل میں ہندوستان اور پاکستان میں کسی نہ کسی طرح دستیاب ہے۔ بانگ درا کو تین حصوں میں تقسیم کیا گیا ہے۔ پہلے حصے میں 1901ء سے 1905ء تک کا کلام شامل ہے ۔ دوسرے حصے میں یورپ کے قیام کا کلام 1905ء سے 1908 ء شامل ہے ۔ تیسرا دور 1908ء سے 1924 ء کی شاعری پر مشتمل ہے۔ اس کے بھی کئی ایڈیشن سامنے آئے ہیں۔ اقبال کی شاہ کار نظمیں تصویر درد، شکوہ، جواب شکوہ ، والدہ مرحومہ کی یاد میں ،شمع اور شاعر ، خضر راو اور طلوع اسلام اس مجموعہ کلام میں شامل ہیں ۔ بانگ درا کا دیبا چہ شیخ عبد القادر بیرسٹر ایٹ لا سابق مدیر "مخزن" نے لکھا۔
ABSTRACT: Peanuts may be consumed in a variety of processed forms like roasted, raw and processed etc. And represent as a multimillion dollar crop worldwide with many potential dietary benefits as it contains high protein and health effective oils. Objective: The present investigation was planned to evaluate thephysio-chemical properties of peanut milk yogurt by the addition of different concentration of peanut milk (0 %, 10 %, 20 % and 30 %), skimmed milk liquid (60 %, 70 %, 80 %, and 90 %), skimmed milk powder (9 %) and sugar (1 %). Methods: The physico-chemical tests (pH, acidity, moisture, ash, fat, protein, syneresis, and viscosity) were examined after every 5 days of interval for a period of 15 days at 4 ºC. Results: The results of physico-chemical analysis revealed that pH, ash, fat, protein and viscosity decrease during storage period where as acidity, moisture and rate of syneresis increased during storage. Treatment T1 (10 % peanut milk) was comparatively best for manufacturing of peanut milk yogurt followed by T2 (20 % peanut milk + 70 % skimmed milk liquid + 9 % skimmed milk powder + 1 % sugar) while peanut milk yogurt from (30 % peanut milk + 60 % skimmed milk liquid + 9 % skimmed milk powder + 1 % sugar) had the lowest degree of firmness. Conclusions: It was noticed that correlation among fat, total solids and protein contents in peanut milk affect the extent of serum separation and pH of yogurt. The storage had significant effects on all physico-chemical parameters. Treatments had significant effect on all physico-chemical parameters
Drought stress is the major limiting environmental factor in wheat yield. It is thought to be the most crucial factor that hinders crop productivity and poses problems to meet the increasing food demands. So, need is to develop drought tolerant and high yielding varieties to feed the ever increasing population. Wheat is highly calcitrant and poor responsive to tissue culture like other cereal crops. Recent study was conducted with the aims to establish an efficient regeneration protocol for development of transgenic wheat with improved drought tolerance and increased biomass. gdhA is a multifunctional gene reported to improve nitrogen and carbon metabolism, drought and herbicide tolerance and biomass. Regeneration protocol for wheat commercial cultivar Faisalabad-2008 was optimized using different combinations of 2,4-D, carbon source and age of calli. Better regeneratuion response was observed in 3 weeks old calli using 2 mg/L 2,4-D and maltose as carbon source. gdhA of E. coli was transformed using Agrobacterium mediated transformation method. Drought tolerance of putative transgenics calli was evaluated in vitro using different levels of PEG6000. Molecular analysis for presence and expression of transgene was performed. Transgenics alongwith control plants were subjected to different levels of drought stress. Transgenic plants showed 6.2, 13 and 10.1% more RWC and 5.6, 13.4 and 15.4% less saturation water deficit than control plants at moderate, medium, and high level of drought stress respectively. gdhA transgenic plants also showed 10.8% more excised leaf water retention and quick recovery from drought than non-transgenic controls. About 52.2 and 29.73% and 16.47 % more chlorophyll a, b and X+C contents were estimated in transgenic plants than controls. Effect of different levels of drought stress on plant pigments was also measured. Non-transgenic control plants showed 5.71, 20.39 and 15.89% more decrease in chlorophyll A and B contents at medium, mild and high level of drought stress. In control plants 44.74 and 67.39 % more increase in X+C contents in comparison to transgenics at low and medium level of drought stress while 70.98 % decrease was estimated at high level of drought stress. Regarding biomass related parameters were studied. Transgenic plants showed 10, 8.39, 9.69 and 8.02 % increase in number of fertile tillers, spikelets/spike, grains/spike and 1000 grain weight respectively than non-transgenic control plants. The ectopic expression of gdhA gene in transgenic plants resulted in improved drought tolerance and biomass.
