Harvesting high quality lint, a long-awaited breeding goal—accomplished partly, can be achieved by identifying DNA markers which could be used for diagnosing cotton plants containing the desired traits. In the present studies, a total of 185 cotton genotypes exhibiting diversity for lint traits were selected from a set of 546 genotypes evaluated for fiber traits in 2009. These genotypes were extensively studied for three consecutive years (2011-2013) at three different locations. Significant genetic variations were found for average boll weight, ginning out turn (GOT), micronaire value, staple length, fiber bundle strength and uniformity index. IR-NIBGE-3701 showed maximum ginning out turn (41.10%). Clustering of genotypes using Ward’s method was found more informative than that of the clusters generated by principal component analysis. A total of 382 SSRs were surveyed on 10 G. hirsutum genotypes exhibiting contrasting fiber traits. Out of these, 95 polymorphic SSR primer pairs were then surveyed on 185 genotypes. The gene diversity averaged 0.191 and the polymorphic information content (PIC) averaged 0.175. Unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA), principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and STRUCTURE software grouped these genotypes into four major clusters each. Genetic distance within the clusters ranged from 0.0587 to 0.1030. A total of 47 (25.41%) genotypes exhibited shared ancestry. In total 6.8% (r2 ≥ 0.05) and 4.4% (r2 ≥ 0.1) of the marker pairs showed significant linkage disequilibrium (LD). A number of marker-trait associations (in total 75) including 13 for average boll weight, 18 for GOT percentage, eight for micronaire value, 18 for staple length, three for fiber bundle strength and 15 for uniformity index were calculated. Out of these, MGHES-51 was associated with all the traits. Most of the marker-trait associations were novel while few validated the associations reported in the previous studies. High frequency of favourable alleles in cultivated varieties is possibly due to fixation of desirable alleles by domestication. These favourable alleles can be used in marker assisted breeding or for gene cloning using next generation sequencing tools. The present studies would set a stage for harvesting high quality lint without compromising the yield potential—ascertaining natural fiber security.

Digital Communication: Navigating the Online World with Etiquette, Safety, and Responsibility

"The Cosmic Palette: Exploring Colors in Art and Culture" delves into the profound role of colors in shaping the world of art and culture. This article takes readers on a vibrant journey through history, examining the significance of colors in different societies, their psychological impact, and the ways in which artists have harnessed them to convey emotions, ideas, and cultural narratives. From the symbolism of red to the serenity of blue, this exploration sheds light on the universal language of color that transcends boundaries and connects humanity in a kaleidoscope of experiences.

Fuzzy Decision Support Systems for Tunnel Farming in Pakistan

The growing world population has diversified food production scenario over the last decades. In developing countries, large area of land is not in use for crop production. Since the available land cannot be increased, tunnel farming has been used as a solution to make efficient use of land in hands. Tunnel farming cultivation is an encouraging industry of modern agriculture in the world. There are several advantages of tunnel farming, but most prominent are: (1) growing off-season vegetable or prolonging growing season, and (2) conserving crop quality and increasing crop yield on a limited land in minimum possible time. Fundamentally, there are three types of tunnel—high tunnels, walk-in tunnels, and low tunnels. The priority of tunnel farming is to control climate according to the crop need, because each crop needs its own favorable climate condition for the optimal growth. The environmental conditions affect the productivity and profitability of the crops. Nowadays computer based control systems are required for controlling climate, because manually controlling climate poses many challenges. The development of automation system for tunnels comprises different steps, including factors affecting climate, crop demands, and control algorithms. Fuzzy logic is an efficient substitute for designing a large variety of control applications. It provides an expedient method for the design of complicated dynamic system. As a result, it gives results faster than the conventional control design strategies. The beauty of fuzzy control system is that, these systems deals with nonlinear complicated mathematical models in a very simple and easy way. Its structure is fusion of control rules described by linguistic terms and defined from knowledge of process. However, a controller designed using fuzzy logic is advantageous for adapting control parameters to improve the control process. Our work presents a novel climate decision support system for tomatoes in high tunnels using fuzzy logic and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. Three climate decision support systems are developed for high tunnels using fuzzy logic. First climate decision support system takes five inputs—temperature, relative humidity, solar radiations, wind velocity, and weather condition—and controls four outputs—tunnel’s temperature, tunnel’s humidity, fan speed, and shading. Second climate decision support system takes three inputs—temperature, solar radiations and weather condition and controls artificial sunlight. Third climate decision support system takes air quality index and controls air purification. We develop and implement the two main algorithms for climate control systems, one algorithm is for fuzzy logic climate decision support system, and other one is for neuro-fuzzy climate control system. We compute time complexity of both algorithms. We use software MATLAB for showing average error between calculated and targeted outputs. We also perform optimization of fuzzy membership functions using particle swarm optimization method and evaluate its results in MATLAB. Our generated results are very much precise and satisfied the desired range of outputs.
