Potato common scab (PCS) is an economically important and worldwide crop problem.PCS produces visible blemish lesions on the surface of tubers causing diminished quality and low market value. The severity of the lesions can be ranged from superficial raised brown to corky dark brown color with pustules or deep pitted scars which were few millimeters inside the tubers. The lesions may be small, discrete or covering large area of the tubers. Based on the severity of the lesions, common scab (CS) infected tubers sometimes unable for human consumption therefore causing severe economic loss to the growers. Common scab is caused by gram positive Streptomyces. The causal agent of PCS is Streptomyces scabies. Several other Streptomyces species including Streptomyces acidiscabies, Streptomyces europaeiscabies, Streptomyces turgidiscabies, Streptomyces stelliscabies and Streptomyces bottropensis are also reported as major PCS pathogens. In this study, CS infected tubers were collected from potato growing regions of Pakistan (Potato Research Institute, PRI Sahiwal and Lahore), Spain (A Coruna, Ourense, San Esteban and Lugo) and USA (Presque Isle and Orono, Maine). From Spain, almost one hundred and twenty-four bacterial isolates were isolated from CS infected tubers. Similarly, eighteen and ten bacterial isolates were isolated from CS infected tubers collected from USA and Pakistan, respectively. Among the bacterial isolates, twentyeight, thirteen and seven isolates were confirmed as scab-related Streptomyces spp. from Spain, USA and Pakistan, respectively after 16S rRNA analysis. Further identification of selected isolates was based on species specific primers PCR amplification. 16S-23S ITS region amplification, RFLP and phylogenetic analysis revealed four, two and one isolates belonged to S. turgidiscabies, S. scabies and S. stelliscabies, respectively from Pakistan. Similarly, from Spain, sixteen isolates were confirmed as S. europaeiscabies, six, four and two isolates were confirmed as S. turgidiscabies, S. bottropensis and S. stelliscabies, respectively and thirteen isolates were confirmed as S. scabies from USA. For antagonistic bacterial isolates, CS suppressive soil was collected from agriculture potato farms of Okara, Sahiwal and Lahore having no previous CS history over last five to ten years. From suppressive soil samples, five bacterial strains were isolated (A-1, A-2, A-4, A1RT and AC12AB) and screened on the basis of their antagonistic activity assessed by disk diffusion assay against CS isolates (S. scabies). Two best antagonistic bacterial isolates namely A1RT and AC12AB were selected on the basis of strong antagonistic activity against CS pathogens and promising results for plant growth promoting attributes including IAA (Indole-3-acetic acid) production, siderophores production, nitrogen fixation, potassium and phosphate solubilization. Antagonistic bacterial strains A1RT and AC12AB were evaluated to produce IAA quantitatively and qualitatively by colorimetric and HPLC methods, respectively. After 16S rRNA analysis bacterial isolate A1RT and AC12AB were identified as Streptomyces hygroscopicus and Streptomyces violaceusniger, respectively. CS pathogenic Streptomyces strains were analyzed for the presence of pathogenicity islets (PAI) including txtAB, tomA and nec1 genes by PCR amplification. Most of the pathogenic Streptomyces strains screened in this study were found to contain all three pathogenicity related genes like txtAB, nec1 and tomA. Methanolic extracts of Streptomyces hygroscopicus strain A1RT and Streptomyces violaceusniger strain AC12AB were purified with different chromatographic techniques including thin layer chromatography (TLC), silica gel chromatography, Sephadex column chromatography, solid phase extraction and preparative HPLC. The structure of purified compound was elucidated with help of one-dimensional (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR) and twodimensional NMR (1H/1H-COSY, HMQC and HMBC) techniques. The NMR experiment reveled the structure of bioactive compound as Isatropolone C and Azalomycin from antagonistic Streptomyces hygroscopicus strain A1RT and Streptomyces violaceusniger strain AC12AB, respectively. The plant experiments were conducted to check the in-vitro effect of antagonistic bacterial strains. Greenhouse assays were designed in Pakistan, Spain and USA which resulted significant decrease in CS disease severity and increase in number of shoots, shoot length, tuber weight and number of tubers. Finally, field trials were conducted in Pakistan with antagonistic Streptomyces hygroscopicus strain A1RT, Streptomyces violaceusniger strain AC12AB and combination of strain A1RT and AC12AB used as inoculum into the potato plants. About 84, 83, and 86.1% (p<0.05) PCS disease reduction was observed in field trials when S. scabies used with Streptomyces hygroscopicus strain A1RT, Streptomyces violaceusniger strain AC12AB and a combination of Streptomyces hygroscopicus strain A1RT and Streptomyces violaceusniger, strain AC12AB respectively and selected consortia also attributed significant increase in number of shoots, length of shoots, number of tubers and yield per hectare (p<0.05).In conclusion, the selected bacteria used in this study as a consortium, A1RT (Streptomyces hygroscopicus) and AC12AB (Streptomyces violaceusniger) may be used as an excellent biological control agent for decreasing the severity of CS infection and enhancing the growth of potato plants.

موضوع8:معیاری مقالے کی خصوصیات
تحقیقی مقالہ:
آرتھر کول Arthur Cole نے تحقیق مقالہ کی تعریف یوں کی ہے:
"تحقیق مقالہ اس مکمل رپورٹ کو کہتے ہیں جسے کوئی محقق اپنے تحقیقی کام کا کامیاب تکمیل کے بعد پیش کرتا ہے۔ یہ رپورٹ مطالعے کے تمام مراحل کا احاطہ کرتی ہے، یعنی موضوع کے متعلق ابتدائی سوچ سے لے کر تحقیق کے نتیجے میں حاصل ہونے والے نتائج تک دلائل و براہین کی روشنی میں مرتب ومدون کرکے پیش کیا جاتا ہے۔"
معیاری تحقیقی مقالے کی خصوصیات:
ایک معیاری تحقیقی مقالہ وہ ہوتا ہے جس کی تیاری میں درج ذیل تحقیقی اصولوں کا لحاظ رکھا گیا ہو:
مواد کی ترتیب و تنظیم:
مقالہ نگاری کا ایک اصول یہ ہے کہ موضوع سے متعلق جمع شدہ مواد کو اچھے اسلوب میں مدون و مرتب کیا جائے۔اس کی افادیت یہ بھی ہے کہ ابواب کے عنوان اور ذیلی سرخیاں بنائی جاسکتی ہیں۔
تسوید مقالہ:
مقالہ سے متعلقہ مواد کو منظم و مرتب کرلینے کے بعد اسے لکھنے کی باری آتی ہے۔اس پر پہنچ کر محقق کو اپنے موضوع سے متعلقہ مرتب شدہ مواد کو استعمال کرنا ہوتا ہے۔
آغاز تحریر کے اصول:
فن تحقیق کے ماہرین نے تحریری کام کے آگاز کے چند اصول متعین کررکھے ہیں جوکہ یہ ہیں:
• مقالے کی تحریر کا آغاز براہ راست اپنے موضوع سے کرنا ہی اچھا اور سائنسی طریقہ کار سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ طویل تمہید اور تبصروں سے پرہیز کرنا چاہیئے کیونکہ اس سے مقالے کی ضخامت بڑھ جاتی ہے۔
• کوئی بھی محقق اپنے تحقیقی عمل کے شعبے کے متعلق ساری معلومات رکھتا ہے۔ا سی پر وہ اپنے موضوع اور تحقیقی کام کی بنیاد رکھتا ہے اور اپنے اخذ کردہ نتائج اور تاثرات کو پورے خلوص اور اختصار کے ساتھ پیش کردینا چاہیئے۔

Human Organ Transplantation in the Light of Islam

Organ transplantation and organ donation are an urgent problem of our time. This was done in different ways. The medical field introduces new treatments, including organ transplantation and service to humanity. It is allowed to donate organs both in Judaism and Christianity. What is allowed in the Islamic perspective, transplantation and organ donation only if they follow the goals of Islamic sharia? The human body has the honor and dignity that must be preserved in every movement of life. In the case of organ transplants, if it leads to the destruct-tion of a human being and the violation of his honor or paves the way for the abduction, which offers immorality, and in these circumstances, it should not be done. Organ donation and transplantation will be beneficial, under the supervision of a qualified transplant team. In this article, the permissibility of organ transpla-ntation in the light of Islam has been discussed.  

Globalization and its Impact on China and India in the Twenty First Century

This thesis examines the impact of globalization on China and India, specifically focusing on economic, political and social domains and environmental issues. The method adopted for studying the impact of globalization is primarily descriptive and based on qualitative analysis. Since a visit to India could not be undertaken because of visa restrictions. The empirical analysis is confined to China only. The past, present and future of the socio-political and economic domains’ of the two countries under discussion are studied in depth to assess the impact of globalization in the twenty first century. The impact is determined in the first thirty to fifty years of the century and prediction is made for the whole century. The findings of the thesis are that it is generally believed by the political scientists, journalists, and analysts that China is emerging as an economic giant and India is following suit. The only disadvantage of globalization can be seen, to be the threat posed to their social systems. At the end it is suggested that the lessons of the impact of globalization on China and India should be learnt by the neighbouring states including Pakistan. The thesis also studies the utility of ‘system capabilities’ in a political system employed by the leadership, as the efficiency level of the system capabilities determines the level of development of a country. The status of ‘system capabilities’ is more important in the socio- political and economic growth of a country rather than the form of government. In China the leadership is utilizing the ‘system capabilities’ more efficiently as compared to India. This is explained by the difference in the nature of governance in the two entities.
