Spot blotch disease caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana Sacc. is a severe constraint with 30-70% estimated yield losses to wheat production in warmer regions of the world. The purpose of this study was to evaluate crude extracts of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn and Eucalyptus torelliana F. Muell (Myrtaceae) for their fingicidal activity against Bipolaris sorokiniana and if they can be used as a spot blotch disease management strategy. In was observed that flowering buds are most potential part of both plant species compared to leaves and bark. The ethanol, methanol and aqueous crude extracts of E. camaldulensis flowering buds inhibited mycelial growth up to 97, 91 and 67% While; the E. torelliana extracts restricted mycelial growth of 75, 74, and 47% respectively. The E. camaldulensis flowering buds ethanol extract provided maximum inhibition zone of 29.10±0.92 with 10mg/well and minimum inhibitory concentration value of 25mg/ml. The minimum mean length of conidiophores observed (78μ) and mean width (3.63μ) for treatment of E. camaldulensis flowering buds ethanol extract at 10% concentration over control 141μ length and 7.33μ width. A range of variations in mean length of B. sorokiniana conidia observed from 49-74µ and mean width from 19-25µm having 1-7 septa and light brown colour. In control treatments mean length range from 75-77µ and width from 25-28µ. The extract treated hyphae were damaged, collapsed and thinner as compared to control treatment. In 10µl spore suspension the highest number of conidia (34±9.63) found in essential oil treatment at 0.5% concentration followed by at 1% concentration (30.±8.17) compared to distilled water treatment (53±10.34). The E. torelliana flowering buds methanol extract at 10% concentration provided the smallest fresh weight (0.026g) and dry weight (0.02g) of fungal biomass. The In-vivo effects of E. camaldulensis and E. torelliana flowering buds extracts against aggrasive isolate of spot blotch were observed on susceptible variety bhakkar 2001 of wheat. The pesticidal effect of flowering buds extracts with different spray schedules as well as different concentration was highly significant (P<0.05) for both of grain yield/spike and 1000 grain weight. The E. camaldulensis flowering bud extractsin ethanol produces highest number of grains/spike (50, 48 & 43) as compared to E. torilliana 41, 38 & 33 grains/spike underspray I, Spray II and Spray III schedule respectively at 10% concentation. In case of number of grains per spike, for each unit increase in disease severity, 0.395 units decrease observed in number of grains/spike.The R2 0.473 indicates that 47.3% variations in grains yield/spike are caused by disease severity. There is 0.269 unit’s decrease in 1000-grains weight (g) with 51.03 unit’s increase of disease severity. The relationship of disease severity was negatively correlated with yield contributing parameters. The R2 (0.574) means that 57.4% variation in 1000 grains weight is explained by predictor variable. Standard error value (3.171) represents the typical deviation between the actual 1000 grain weight and what the model predicted to be. In simple there are 3.171g typical fluctuations around the regression line E. camaldulensis flowering buds extracts were further investigated for the most active compounds. Partitioning of crude ethanol extract was done with hexanes, Toluene, Dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water. Hexanes part was most active in mycelial growth assay with the maximum 86% inhibition. Two compounds, A and B were purified from hexane part through flash Column Chromatography (FCC) by silica gel, Prep-TLC and Prep-HPLC. The recovered compounds showed high antifungal activity against B. sorokiniana (spot blotch). The chemical analysis of active compounds by HPLC, MS, FT-IR and NMR revealed the presence of hydrocarbons. These compounds are >C=O carbonyl functional group containing terpenoids that form crystalline products. The results indicate that E. camaldulensis flowering buds extracts contain antifungal compounds and can be exploited as a spot blotch disease and other fungal pathogens management strategy if formulation is developed in future.

أحاديث الأحكام المختلفة على سفيان الثوري بابدال الراوي وأثرها على اختلاف الفقهاء

The differences in the transmissions of the Hadith have great impact on the disagreement among the jurists, and this sets in the diversity in Fiqh. This research is about the disagreement of narrators from Imam Sufyan al-Thawri in the Asanid of Hadiths which are collected from the book “Ellal al-hadith by Imam al-Daraqutni”. The difference among the narrators exist in the Sanad by the change of narrator in the Sanad, and it results in the disagreement its impact on the various jurisprudential issues between Jurists Key words: Canonical Ahadith, Narrators of Sufian al-Thawri, Disagreement among the Jurists.

Study of Pyocyanin Induced Virulence & Pathogenicity of Nosocomial Infectious Agent Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and its Prevention

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitously distributed and often, nosocomial infectious agent. It is identified as one of the top three nosocomial infectious agents, causing complicated and persistent infections. It has notorious infection feactures such as biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance, making it a significant healthcare challenge. P. aeruginosa is equipped with a diversified arsenal of virulence factors which help in infection establishment and progression against the host immune system. Among many other, P. aeruginosa produces Pyocyanin (PCN), a redox active blue phenazine pigment, considered to be its primary virulence factor. This blue pigment plays a critical role in infection establishment and survival of the pathogen. Studies have implicated PCN with multiple bioactive properties due to its redox active potential, i.e. immuno-modulation, pro-apoptotic, enzyme inactivation and others. The ability to diffuse through biological membranes imparts a new dimension for PCN mediated virulence of P. aeruginosa in the host body. So far PCN mediated virulence has been considered as localized incidence at the site of infection i.e. effect of PCN on the ciliary movement of epithelial lining or inactivation of DUOX1 enzyme in the respiratory system. The emergence of Pan-drug resistant or ‘Superbug strains’ at pandemic scale is a critical threat to health care setups. The ineffectiveness of antibiotics against P. aeruginosa puts the vulnerable groups at serious risk as the World Health Organization is foreseeing the dawn of Post-antibiotic era. Lack of preventive vaccines against P. aeruginosa is another challenge that puts vulnerable groups at greater risk. A comprehensive strategy was devised to better understand PCN mediated P. aeruginosa virulence. This dissertation reports the potential impact of PCN in Central Nervous System during P. aeruginosa infection. Cytotoxic impact of PCN was studied in murine models. Blood brain barrier permeability was assessed computationally and confirmed via HPLC. Murine behavioral tests demonstrated neurodegenerative and cognitive impairment potential of PCN. Systemic redox potential was evaluated by employing multiple in silico tools and glutathione-S-transferase assay, PCN-induced oxidative stress in brain, lungs and cardiac tissues. For dealing with PCN-mediated virulence, PCN biosynthesis was targeted via drug repurposing in a dual manner: 1) Study of PCN chemical-protein and drug drug interactions revealed Piperaquine as an anti-virulence therapeutic agent as it has an effective anti-PCN potential. While the structure based study demonstrated aspirin’s potential in inhibiting PCN, unlike ibuprofen. 2) Innate immune component DUOX1 and its homologue NOX4 capable of inactivation of PCN were computationally studied for their sequential, structural and functional aspects, and were annotated. These two schemes could contribute towards the development of Pseudomonas specific anti-virulence approaches independent of antibiotic resistance phenomenon. In a bigger scenario genomic data was explored for dealing with the antibiotic resistance challenge. Using reductive genomic screening, potential peptide vaccine candidates and prospective novel drug targets were predicted. This dissertation focuses on PCN mediated virulence of P. aeruginosa and strategies for prevention and management of infection.
