The three dehydrin genes of Eucalyptus species, the dehydrin-1 (EgDHN-1), dehydrin-2 (EgDHN-2) and dehydrin-10 (EgDHN-10) were isolated from local Eucalyptus globulus species for transformation in different varieties of potato for developing abiotic stress tolerance. These three lysine rich dehydrin genes of Eucalyptus have not been reported earlier to be manipulated for genetic engineering or for transformation into a crop plant. The genes were amplified from DNA as well as mRNA (through cDNA). The amplified genes were cloned in TA cloning vector. Cloned dehydrin genes were sequenced and detailed in silico analyses were conducted. Complete sequence of EgDHN-10 gene was obtained from DNA including introns. Coding sequence from its mRNA was also complete and found 92% similar with EgDHN-10 of Eucalyptus globulus after DNA BLAST analyses. The sequencing data of other genes obtained incomplete that showed 99% and 98% homology, after DNA BLAST analyses, with Predicted Eucalyptus grandis Rab18 gene and Eucalyptus globulus EgDHN-1 gene respectively. 297bp long sequence of EgDHN-10 that codes for mature peptide was further sub-cloned in E. coli expression vector pET30a. The sequence was submitted to the NCBI (MG948256.1) and it had extra integration of five electrically charged amino acids (two positively charged Histidine, one negatively charged Glutamate, and two negatively charged Aspartate residues) and one Lysine (K). The presence of one extra K residue is very important for enhanced stress tolerance activity of the transformed dehydrin protein due to its role in functions of K-segments. Presence of more charged amino acids in the binding surface of dehydrin protein enhances its capability to bind with other macromolecules, reactive oxygen species and free metal ions.IPTG induced successful expression of EgDHN-10, cloned in pET30a, was detected in E. coli BL21 ii DE3 strain by protein dot blot analysis. After getting excellent expression of Eucalyptus globulus EgDHN-10 gene outside Eucalyptus cell’s environment, the gene was sub-cloned in pCAMBIA 1301 plant binary vector and transformed into Agrobacterium tumefascience. The nodal regions of three potato cultivars, the Cardinal, Sante and Lady Rosetta, were infected with transformed Agrobacterium (through co-cultivation) carrying EgDHN-10. Putative transgenic plants were first screened by GUS assay and PCR. The successful integration of EgDHN-10 gene in potato genome was confirmed by DNA dot blot analysis. The EgDHN-10 gene’s expression was confirmed from potato mRNA by PCR and real time quantitative PCR. In some plants up to 12 folds DHN 10 expression was observed through qPCR. The acquired abiotic stress tolerance was quantified in stressed transformed potato plants by ion leakage assay (ILA) of cell rupture to select the stable transgenic plants. The stress tolerant transformed plants of Cardinal, Sante and Lady Rosetta were maintained in plant tissue culture setup and pots. The transgenic Sante variety was multiplied and maintained in CAMB trial field in an experiment of growth promoting effect of biofertilizer on trial field plants. The stress tolerant Sante plants showed significant difference over control plants in studied plant growth parameters like plant height, maximum root length, number of roots and number of multiple shoots formation, number and weight of tuber formation.

مولانا محمد منظور نعمانی

مولانا محمد منظور نعمانی
گزشتہ مہینے کا معارف اشاعت کے مرحلے میں تھا کہ یہ افسوسناک خبر ملی کہ مولانا محمد منظور نعمانی ۴، ۵؍ مئی کی درمیانی شب میں انتقال فرماگئے۔ انا ﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
اس قحط الرجال میں مولانا جیسے حکمت دین سے واقف صاحب فہم و بصیرت اور مدبر عالم، قوم کے درد مند مصلح اور ملت کے ہمدرد و غم گسار کا اٹھ جانا کس قدر المناک سانحہ ہے۔
مولانا ایک عالم و مصنف اور صاحب سلوک و عرفان بزرگ ہی نہ تھے بلکہ زمانے کے نبض شناس، وقت کے تقاضوں اور حالات سے باخبر اور عاقبت بیں بھی تھے جن کا عمل اس پر تھا کہ:
نکل کر خانقاہوں سے ادا کر رسمِ شبیری
کہ فقرِ خانقاہی ہے فقط اندوہ و دل گیری
وہ مذہبی، اصلاحی، قومی، ملی، تعلیمی اور اجتماعی جدوجہد کے ہر محاذ پر سرگرم اور متحرک دکھائی دیتے تھے، انہیں مسلمانوں کی موجودہ پستی و زبوں حالی کا پوری طرح احساس بھی تھا اور وہ اس کے ازالے کے لیے نہایت فکر مند بھی رہتے تھے، آزاد ہندوستان میں جن مسائل نے مسلمانان ہند کی زندگی تلخ اور مکدر کر رکھی ہے، ان پر شور و غوغا مچانے لچھے دار باتیں اور دھواں دار تقریریں کرنے اور پُرجوش تحریریں لکھنے والے تو بہت سارے لوگ ہیں لیکن ان پر مولانا کی طرح تڑپنے، بے چین ہوجانے، درد و کرب خلش و اضطراب میں مبتلا ہونے والے بہت کم لوگ ہیں، وہ مسلمانوں کی فلاح و بہود کے لیے دعا و مناجات میں بھی مصروف رہتے تھے اور ملک کے گوشے گوشے کی خاک بھی چھانتے رہتے تھے، ان کے گریہ شب اور دعا ہائے سحر گاہی سے گھبرا کر ابلیس بھی یہ کہتا رہا ہوگا کہ ؂
خال خال اس قوم میں اب تک نظر آتے ہیں وہ

ابتكارات العلامة الزمخشري في علم المعاني خلال أسلوب السؤال والجواب في تفسيره الكشاف

Semantic (علم المعاني) is the most interesting branch of Rhetoric. Al-Zamakhsharī has discussed its categories in his introduction to “Al- Kashshᾱf”. He has elaborated the terminology of Semantics but he did not arrange it separately in chapters and did not apply this division in Al- Kashshᾱf as well. The Great Scholar of Rhetoric Al-Sakkᾱkī has categorized semantics in the form of three terminologies: the Knowledge of Semantic, (علم المعاني) the Knowledge of Eloquence, (علم البيان) the figures of speech (علم البديع). Al-Zamakhsharī was very influenced by The Great Scholar and Literary Theorist Abd-ul-Qᾱhir Al-Jurjᾱnī since he implemented whatever Abd-ul-Qᾱhir Al-Jurjᾱnī pointed out in his book “Arguments of Miracles” and “Mysteries of Rhetoric” whilst analyzing Qur’ᾱnic Verses in his exegesis “Al-Kashshᾱf” on Rhetorical basis, though he mentioned in his exegesis all foremost and supreme aspects of Rhetoric which were not referred to by any former scholars. In this article I have widely discussed the unique and distinguished rhetorical topics, highlighted by Al-Zamakhsharī in his exegesis Al-Kashshᾱf, for instance; he semantically analyzed letters and verbs in the Holy Qur’ᾱn, particularly propositional and non-propositional verbs. At the end of this article I tried my best to conclude the topic with better sequences. 

Semiotic Analysis of Print Media Advertisements

Semiotic Analysis of Print Media Advertisements Roland Barthes, key theorist of this study, defined semiotics as study of all signs including words, pictures, music, sound, non verbal expressions and their interrelationships. Research in hand refers to problems and research questions about understanding of denotative, connotative, deep and symbolic meanings of brand name, text, slogan, logo, picture, art work, colour scheme, linguistic and cultural changes brought generated by advertisements. To answer all aforementioned primary and subsidiary questions in hints, Barthes' Semiotic Theory comprising linguistic, denotative, connotative, Coded Iconic and Non Coded Iconic Messages, was employed in semiotic analysis phase of this research. In qualitative analysis of print media ads, exploratory and interpretive research approaches were applied to investigate participants' responses. Overall objectives of this research were focused on elaboration as well as exploration of brand name, linguistic message, logo, monogram and photographic meanings of one hundred print media advertisements. Findings of study in hand were concentrated on the semiotic interpretations of all features of an ad including brand name, slogan, picture, logo, linguistic message etc. These aspects of ads were also symbolically interpreted. Moreover, all ads are based on well planned semiotic techniques to convince customers. Present study strengthened the view that ads are basically by products of cultural norms and adherent to prevalent customs of society. Research in hand materialized its objectives and its manifestation was present in data analysis chapter. Fulfillment of objectives led to contribution to existing knowledge in diversified aspects and scales like academic, cultural, social and language change at global and indigenous levels. In a nutshell, academically, this consolidated document can be used as a text book for subject semiotics in Mass Communication. At global level, this work highlighted Pakistani products, cultural values, work of advertisers and their semiotic analysis.
