Several viruses infect cotton plant across the globe. Due to climate change, which favors the insect’s growth and reproduction, the diseases transmitted by insect vectors are increasing at alarming rate. The viruses causing leaf curl disease are common in Africa and Asia. Cotton crop is infected by single stranded DNA viruses (Family, Geminiviridae) in Pakistan. It was originally limited to Pakistan, but now it has spread to India, China and Philippines. In the New World a virus causing leaf crumpling is known to infect cotton. The studies in this thesis were aimed at a clearer understanding of the virus species responsible for the CLCuD complex and possible reasons it became an epidemic. These single stranded DNA viruses were surveyed, isolated and amplified with a novel one step PCR protocol to identify the major three viruses, namely cotton leaf curl Multan virus, cotton leaf curl Kokhran virus and Burewala strain of Kokhran virus. Furthermore, PCR and RCA was used to quickly cloned and sequenced full-length viruses and satellites from cotton and alternate host tomato plants to estimate the extent of diversity of begomoviruses in Punjab. The sequence analysis revealed that viruses co-circulating in cotton and tomato plants but may only create diseases in one host. Furthermore, these viruses are harboring several distinct satellites. The mutation and recombination analysis revealed that cotton leaf curl geminiviruses (just like RNA viruses) have a high and specific pattern of recombination and mutation and favored a combination of viral molecules, which have the capacity to spread at higher rate compared to other strains of cotton leaf curl geminiviruses. In this manuscript, the diversity and spread of cotton leaf curl disease is discussed in depth to understand the viral evolution in Pakistan, uses for host plant resistance, and implicated for research and management strategies to prevent new epidemics worldwide.

مولانا احتشام الحسن کاندھلوی

مولانا احتشام الحسن کاندہلوی
افسوس ہے ہمارے عزیز اور فاضل دوست مولانااحتشام الحسن کاندہلوی بھی گزشتہ نومبر میں شدید علالت کے بعد انتقال کرگئے۔مولانا کاندہلہ کے رئیسوں میں شمار ہوتے تھے لیکن ان کا مشغلہ تبلیغی کتابوں کی تصنیف وتالیف اور مطالعہ کے سوا کچھ نہ تھا۔شب وروز اسی میں بسر ہوتے تھے اور گفتگو کاموضوع بھی بس یہی ایک بات ہوتی تھی۔تبلیغی جماعت کے طریق کارسے ان کو اختلاف تھا۔وہ کہا کرتے تھے کہ تبلیغ تو نام ہی اسلام کوغیر مسلموں تک پہنچانے کا ہے۔ مرض الوفات میں مبتلاہونے سے ایک ماہ قبل علی گڑھ آئے اور ایک ہفتہ کے قریب قیام کیا۔ان دنوں میں ان سے کئی مرتبہ ملاقات ہوئی اورہرملاقات میں وہ اپنے اس محبوب موضوع پرتقریر کرتے رہے ہیں۔میں حسب عادت خاموش سنتا رہا اور بولا کچھ نہیں۔مرض الوفات میں انھوں نے بڑی سخت تکلیف اٹھائی لیکن صبر ورضا کادامن ہاتھ سے نہیں چھوڑا۔ بڑے خلیق اورعابد وزاہد بزرگ تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ ابرار وصلحا کامقام عطا فرمائے آمین۔ [جنوری ۱۹۷۲ء]

 

سماجی و قبائلی عصبیتوں کا خاتمہ

Islam gives complete guidance in every walk of life and provides solutions to all needs. After the migration, Prophet Muhammad (SWA) established a moderate society in Madina. In the state of Madina, he introduced a Positive, Prosperous, progressive and human-caring code of conduct and banned all earlier prejudices wich led to social disorder. One of these menaces was tribal and social prejudices among the Arabs. The Prophet (SWA) strongly discouraged these prejudices. This paper will elaborate teachings of the Holy Prophet (SWA) for eradication of such social evils.

Computer Based Colour Intensity Measurement of Plant Anatomical Sections for Proximate Chemical Analysis.

The aim and objectives of this study work is to evolve and develop a low cost method for chemical analysis. This method will be highly useful for the chemist, biochemist and botanist for proximal chemical analysis. Microscope is one of the most common techniques used for the investigation of histological and biological material and plant sectioning and staining it is an old method of research in diagnostic field. Anatomical sections provide us more information about the tissues or cells but differentiations and quantification of different compounds are very difficult or one can say that it is impossible but now a day with the help of Microscope, Camera and Computer software one can see 100 times larger image and also observe or quantify them easily. But Computational biology is utterly incomplete without microscopic section staining because computer software differentiates or quantifies to the specific compound on the basis of their colour, so for this purpose different dyes/stains were used for specific area or molecule. In the present research work, first of all proteins were determined from three plants by different reported methods, after the confirmation of protein concentration, same plant’s section were stained with two protein dyes and then were analyzed by own developed computer software that is ABAS. Stains or dyes are Coomassie Brilliant blue (CBB dye) and Lawsone dye (Ls dye). Coomassie stain is well known protein dye and Lawsone dye is also protein dye because it is commonly used for dying hairs, nails and skin proteins internationally. In this research concentration of Lawsone dye was observed in whole and powdered leaves of Henna (Lawsonia inermis) extractions at different time intervals i.e 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, 4hrs, 5hrs, 24hrs, 48hrs and temperatures i.e 10oC, 20oC, 30oC and 40oC at different concentration (at 452nm) for staining purpose and pH. In this work one hour of powdered leaves extraction was used for the staining of anatomical sections of three plants. Siris (Albizia lebbbeck) is widely available on the campus of Sindh University, so first of all experimental work was started with the above plants followed by two other plants i.e Pea (Pisum sativum ) and Gram (Cicer arietinum) which were grown at the research plot, Institute of Plant Sciences, University of Sindh. Protein was analyzed from rachis of Siris by Lowry’s and Bradford’s quantitative method, molecular weight of protein was determined by Electrophoresis and staining pH of Lawsone dye assisted by paper chromatography. Sections of rachis of Siris were 3stained in CBB dye for different time intervals at room temperatures and then same plant sections were stained with 2% pure Lawsone dye (Ls dye) and 2% Henna powdered leaves extraction for one hour (Hple1) at different time of intervals i.e 30min, 1hr, 2hrs, 3hrs & 24hrs and temperatures i.e 40oC, 50oC, 60oC, 70oC, and 80oC. All of these sections were observed under microscope which was connected to computer through USB cable and saved all section’s photos (2D images) in computer memory for the assessment of stained image colour intensity by ABAS computer software, after confirmation of protein by computer software, protein concentration were observed at three stages of growth i.e 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd of the stem portion of both plants i.e Pea & Gram. Protein concentration in both plants were also analyzed by Lowry and Bradford quantitative methods and Electrophoresis and paper chromatography were also done, after that both plants stem sections were stained with CBB dye, Ls dye and Hple1 at different time intervals followed by analysis by ABAS computer software. With the help of these staining methods we can easily quantify even a small quantity of protein and in future we may identify the type of protein at different growth stages of plants, this method can also be applied on plants for quantifying other compounds e.g Alkaloids but for that purpose we need specific dye and desired software. For full and semi automation of microscope, we need different hardwares (Motors) and computer software. Semi automated microscope performed more than one task by computer and others were performed by human. In this research work, Vertical and Horizontal movement of stage of microscope (were observed by putting slide of section/image) controlled with the help of Stepper motor and computer programming in Visual Basic6 (VB6). For the 2D image analysis, ABAS image processing software was developed in Visual Basic. Net frame work (C#.net; pronounced C sharp dot net and Visual Basic.net; pronounced VB.net) computer language. Stained and unstained 2D images of three plants section determined by histograms (8-bit) and on the basis of their changes in staining colour, intensities of colour of unstained & stained plant section (2 images) was determine then protein content was analyzed with the help of formula and compared with each other.
