The present investigation deals with the establishment of an efficient in vitro selection strategy to produce salt-tolerant cell lines and subsequent regeneration protocols in potato (cvs. Cardinal and Desiree). The activities of antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase) and total soluble protein contents of various tissues under stress were evaluated to understand their possible role in salinity tolerance. Exogenous application of ascorbic acid and salicylic acid were also tested for salt stress alleviation. In order to proceed with these objectives, the initial focus was to establish protocols for micropropagation, callus induction and maintenance, plant regeneration, establishment of cell suspension cultures and ex vitro acclimatization of regenerated plants. Three different concentrations of TDZ (10-8, 10-9, or 10-10 M) in MS medium were tested for the purpose of in vitro clonal propagation. MS basal medium fairly supported micropropagation of both the tested potato cultivars followed closely by MS medium supplemented with TDZ (10-10 M). For callus induction and proliferation in dark, internodal segments proved to be a good explant source whereas MS medium fortified with 2, 4-D (18.09 μM) was the best medium composition equally effective for both the potato cultivars. A combination of NAA (2.64 μM) and TDZ (1.00 μM) supplemented to MS medium was the best choice for shoot initiation from callus cultures after 20 and 21 days in Cardinal and Desiree, respectively. Rooting of regenerated shoots was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 8.87 μM BAP, 2.64 μM NAA and 0.123 μM IBA. Cell suspension cultures using friable calluses were developed successfully using MS2 medium for the two cultivars. The best supporting medium for ex-vitro transplantation of potato plants was vermiculite. It was observed in this study that different in vitro growth parameters, i.e., shoot/root length and numbers of roots decreased while number of shoots increased with an increase in NaCl (20-140 mM) concentration in the medium. In Desiree, rosette-type of shoot development initiated at 100 mM whereas in Cardinal it was evident at 120 mM NaCl level. During this investigation, a direct recurrent selection procedure was employed to select salt- tolerant cell lines in potato (Cvs. Cardinal and Desiree) on the basis of sub-lethal concentration of salt. Results have shown more than 50% reduction in relative fresh weight in both the cultivars above 100 mM NaCl. Callus morphology correspondingly changed from off-white to blackish-brown above 100 mM to acutely-necrotic at 140 mM NaCl. Regeneration potential of recurrently-selected callus cultures (100 mM NaCl-treated) on salt- free medium was more pronounced in Desiree as compared to Cardinal. When well- acclimatized recurrently-selected plants were treated with 100 mM NaCl and compared with control plants to check their acquired salinity tolerance, it was observed that recurrently- selected plants showed higher fresh/dry weight and number of tubers in both the cultivars. A slight decrease in protein contents of in vitro Cardinal cultures was observed as the concentration of NaCl (20-140 mM) gradually increased in the media. However, there was an increase in protein contents in Desiree plants when subjected to increasing salt concentrations. In case of in vitro recurrently-selected plants, protein contents were higher as compared to control (non-selected ones) in both the cultivars. The peroxidase activity exhibited a slightly decreasing trend in Cardinal though an increasing one was observed in Desiree with an increasing NaCl level in the medium. In the present investigation, recurrently-selected plants had higher POD, CAT and SOD activities as compared to the control ones in both the cultivars.

ہمارے آگے ترا جب کسو نے نام لیا
دلِ ستم زدہ کو ہم نے تھام تھام لیا
۸؍ ۹جنوری ۱۹۸۶؁ءکو دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء لکھنؤ میں اسلامی ادب پر ایک بین الا قوامی سیمینار تھا، جس میں ہندوستان کے علاوہ عرب ممالک کے علماء اور فضلاء بھی کافی تعداد میں شریک تھے، وہیں جناب سید حامد صاحب سابق وائس چانسلر مسلم یونیورسٹی علی گڑھ نے یہ اندوہ ناک خبر دی کہ شبلی نیشنل پوسٹ گریجویٹ کالج کے سابق پرنسپل جناب شوکت سلطان کی وفات ہوگئی، یہ خبر سننے کے لیے تیار نہ تھا، اعظم گڑھ سے ۶؍ جنوری کو لکھنؤ گیا تھا، اس وقت تک ان کی کسی علالت کی کوئی اطلاع نہ تھی وہ اپنی بڑی لڑکی سے ملنے علی گڑھ گئے ہوئے تھے، اعظم گڑھ سے لکھنؤ ان کی وفات کی کوئی خبر نہیں تھی، بے حد پریشان اور ملول ہوا، خیال ہوا کہ علی گڑھ سے ان کی میت اعظم گڑھ ضرور آئے گی، اور شبلی منزل کے احاطہ ہی میں ان کی ابدی آرام گاہ بنائی جائے گی، نہایت پریشانی میں لکھنؤ سے اعظم گڑھ روانہ ہوا، کہ شاید جنازہ میں شرکت ہوجائے، یہاں پہنچا تو معلوم ہوا کہ وہ ۳۰؍ دسمبر ۱۹۸۵؁ء کو اپنی اہلیہ کے ساتھ لڑکی سے ملنے کے لئے للت پور گئے، ۵؍ جنوری کو فجر کی نماز کے لیے اٹھے، وضو کا پانی مانگا تو کچھ تکلیف محسوس کی، چارپائی پر لیٹ گئے تو پھر ابدی نیند سوگئے، وہیں اﷲ تعالیٰ کی رحمتوں اور برکتوں کی آغوش میں سپرد کردیے گئے، اس سانحہ کی خبر۸؍ جنوری کی شام کو اعظم گڑھ پہنچی، میں ۱۰؍ جنوری کو دارالمصنفین پہنچا تو جمعہ کی نماز کے بعد اسی کے احاطہ میں ان کے جنازہ کی غائبانہ نماز پڑھی گئی، اس میں شریک تو ہوگیا، مگر یہ خیال اب تک...

الدعوة الاسلامية دعوة عالمية

Allah almighty has created Human beings, the angels, and jinn for His worship alone. To guide the human beings to the right path, Allah almighty has sent many messengers to all nations and pieces of lands. Hazrat Adam (A. S.) was the first human being as well as the first Prophet of Allah on the Earth, while the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the last of all in this chain. There will be no prophet after him. Now, it is the duty of every Muslims to carry and spread this universal message to the whole humanity. In this context, the message of Islam is universal. This article deals with this issue through giving proofs from the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah.

Synthesis, Characterization and Properties of Transition Metal Oxide and Hydroxide Nanomaterials

Material synthesis is a constantly evolving area of research and thus recognizing the limitations of current routes for the synthesis of a range of transition metal oxides is important in devising newer strategies for their growth. Transition metal oxides, as a group of advanced functional materials, exhibit several unique and interesting properties as a result of their small dimensions. Morphology of the products, their surface area, lattice defect structure and nature of the surface directly affect the practical capacity of oxide nanomaterials in different applications. The present work intends to develop common strategies, applicable to the synthesis of more than one binary transition metal oxide or its hydroxide, in solutions using hydrothermal and low temperature aqueous chemical growth routes. This includes surface modification of nanoparticles with a common modifier to tailor the surface properties, achieve control over the phase and morphology of nanostructures by varying a single experimental parameter, or nucleating them on substrates from a common solution under similar conditions. Five different oxide systems that include ZnO, MnO 2 , NiO and Ni(OH) 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , and CuO were at the focus of research. Two novel approaches were used to produce different ZnO nanostructures. First, surface modified, fluorescent ZnO nanoparticles with sizes in the range of 11-15 nm were prepared at 80 o C in 2 hours time. The modified nanoparticles emit strongly in the green region of the spectrum; a property that proved useful in imaging biological tissues. Second, a seedless aqueous chemical growth route was used to grow first, dense single crystalline ZnO nanorod arrays on 3D nickel foam substrates. Growth conditions, both for nanoparticles and nanorod arrays, were optimized by varying the concentration of starting materials, growth time, and synthesis temperature. Next, crystalline α/β-Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets, nanobelts and nanorods were prepared by hydrothermal treatment of amorphous precipitates obtained at different pH values. The morphology and crystal structure of the products was controlled simply by adjusting the pH value at precipitation. Thermal annealing of the hydroxides yielded cubic phase NiO with morphologies similar to their hydroxide precursors. Also, a simple method is presented to grow honeycomb, β-Ni(OH) 2 thick films on 3D nickel foam substrates at 80 o C. The porous honeycomb network with regular pores is built from seamlessly connected nanowalls, xapproximately 10-20 nm thick. Again, air annealing of the as-prepared films resulted in honeycomb NiO films. The procedure used to grow ZnO and Ni(OH) 2 films on the 3D nickel foam substrate was successfully employed to grow thick CuO films. A thick coating of 3-4 μm, consisting of interlaced CuO nanosheets, covered well the entire foam substrate. The sheets were rough at the edges with a mean thickness in the range of 20-30 nm. Due to the faster transformation kinetics of [Cu(OH) 4 ] 2- to CuO in aqueous solutions, all the precursor material tend to nucleate heterogeneously over a short period, extending the growth time had therefore little effect on the thickness of the films formed. For the synthesis of MnO 2 , a simple hydrothermal route was use to grow urchin like γ- MnO 2 nanostructures by a direct reaction between MnSO 4 and KClO 3 under mild conditions. The urchin-like spheres were composed of nanowires with diameters in the range 40-70 nm. The urchins were subsequently transformed to α-MnO 2 nanowires on prolonging the hydrothermal dwell time. A possible rolling-broken-growth mechanism was suggested for the self-assembly of MnO 2 nanowires into urchins and, Ostwald ripening was responsible for their subsequent phase transformation. The urchins when tested by cyclic voltammetry for their charge storage ability exhibit excellent rate capability with a specific capacitance of 225 F g -1 at a scan rate of 5 mVs -1 . Surface modified α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles capped by Tween-80 were prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of Fe(NO 3 ) 2 .9H 2 O at 200 o C. The spherical nanoparticles possessed good crystallinity with an average crystallite size of 21 nm. The presence of Tween-80 on the surface of α-Fe 2 O 3 was confirmed by FTIR and Mossbauer analysis. The surfactant was effective in controlling the particle shape and restricted the particle growth to a narrow range around 40-60 nm as observed by scanning electron microscopy. The α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles obtained without Tween-80 were irregular in shape with a wide size distribution in the range of 150-300 nm.
