Cultivatedtomato(Solanumlycopersicum)isreportedwithlowlevelsof genetic diversity for biotic stresses. Tomato crop meets substantial damages due to several pathogens causing serious diseases. Fungicide application and cultural practices were used to manage the disease previously. The factors includinglimitedavailabilityofcommerciallyacceptableresistantcultivar and negative environmental impact of chemical application have prompted the use of identification and use of genetic resistance to complement other practices to manage the disease. The current study was performed to determine the extent of genetic variation among the selected tomato germplasm for biotic stress and incorporation of required genetic diversity into elite lines. Germplasm comprised of 46 genotypes including cultivated varieties and advanced lines developed at Hazara Agricultural Research Station, Abbottabad, Pakistan were used in this study. Initially, 46 genotypes were screened for resistant genes for fusarium wilt (I1), late blight (Ph3), bacterial wilt (Bwr-12) and tomato yellow leaf curl virus (Ty-2). Identification of resistant gene was done using SSR markers that identified 17 genotypes bearing I1 gene conferring resistance to Fusarium wilt. SCAR marker was used to screen late blight resistance gene (Ph-3). Total of 13 genotypes were identified for Ph-3 gene. 16 genotypes were identified for Bwr-12 gene conferring resistance to bacterial wilt while 12 genotypes were identified for Ty-2 gene resistant to tomato yellow leaf curl virus. Gene pyramiding for disease resistant genes was carried out by conventional crossing of cultivated variety (Roma) and advanced line (1008) . Each of the linebeartworequiredgenesandmarkerassistedselectionwasusedto identify the target segregants until the identification of stable lines with multiplegenes.RomaexhibitresistantgenesagainstI1andPh3while advance lines (1008) had resistance against Bwr-12 and Ty-2 genes. A cross was made between these two genotypes followed by series of selection and screening till F5 generation. Stable lines by pyramiding multiple disease resistant genes I1, Ph3, Bwr-12 and Ty-2 were developed. Two lines L2P2 and L2P4 with all resistant genes were developed. After gene pyramiding, agro-morphological studies were conducted using six characters comprising vine length, fruit width, fruit length, fruit weight, number of branches per plant and number of fruits per plant. Analysis of variance followed by LSD analysis depicted significant variation among the lines developed and their parents. Line with superior traits and characters was selected and identified for yield and quality enhancement programs. Data was also recorded for agro-morphological traits of all the germplasm. The data included 25 qualitative and 14 quantitative characters. Cluster analysis revealed grouping of genotypes on the basis of similarities. A total of 46 qualitative traits were divided into six clusters comprising 9, 13, 12, 7, 4 and 1 genotype in cluster I to VI respectively. Similarly 14 quantitative traits formed five clusters comprising 2, 13, 21, 3 and 7 genotypes in Group I to V respectively. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed positive contributionofagronomicandfruittraits.PCAextractedfivePrinciple Components having eigen values greater than 1 and accounted for 69.83% of totalvariation.PCIexplained 25.87%of totalvariation,PCIIcontributed 40.08%, PC III accounted 52.96% while 61.80% and 69.83% was contributed by PC IV and PC V respectively.Complex pattern of association was revealed by correlation studies. Path analysis showed that selection of genotypes with multiple traits and greater equatorial fruit diameter exerts positive effects in meeting the target of yield improvement. More than 50% of enough variation was investigated in the selected germplasm, which can be employed for different vital combinations as well in future breeding programs.

مظفر شاہ خاں یوسفی
سخت افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ مہینہ ہمارے عزیز دوست اورندوۃ المصنفین کے پُرانے رفیق مظفر شاہ خاں صاحب یوسفی اچانک راہی ملک بقا ہوگئے۔موصوف کی عمر پچاس سال کے لگ بھگ ہوگی۔صحت بہت عمدہ تھی اور مضبوط توانا جسم رکھتے تھے۔شب کے کسی حصّہ میں کچھ کرب و بے چینی محسوس ہوئی، پلنگ سے اُٹھ کر صحن میں ٹہلنے لگے، اسی عالم میں گرپڑے اور بیہوش ہوگئے اورصبح تک جان جان آفریں کے سپرد کردی۔ مرحوم بڑے قابل اور لائق فائق تھے۔ اُردو اور ہندی دونوں میں ایم۔ اے تھے، روسی زبان کاامتحان بھی اعلیٰ نمبروں میں پاس کیا تھا۔ اُردو اور ہندی کے شگفتہ نگار ادیب تھے۔تقسیم سے پہلے اُن کی دوکتابیں ادارہ سے شائع ہوئی تھیں ،ایک عرصہ سے ماہنامہ’’ آجکل ‘‘ کے عملہ ادارت سے وابستہ تھے۔ اسی درمیان میں ایک اسکالر شپ پردو برس امریکہ میں بھی رہ آئے تھے اور وہاں سے واپسی پر کناڈا، تمام یورپ اور مشرقِ وسطیٰ کی سیاحت کرتے ہوئے وطن پہنچے تھے اور اب پھر دوبارہ ڈاکٹریٹ کے لیے امریکہ جانے والے تھے کہ آخرت کاسفر پیش آگیا۔ اخلاقی اعتبارسے نہایت شریف، بڑے دوست نواز، ملنسار اورخلیق ومتواضع اور شائستہ اطوار تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ انہیں مغفرت وبخشش کی نعمتوں سے سرفراز فرمائے اوراُن کے بچّوں وبیوہ کاحامی وناصر ہو۔آمین۔

Transplant and Donation of Organs in Islamic Perspective

Transplantation of organs and its donation is a burning issue of the present time. It has been carried out in different ways for different purposes. No doubt, the medical field has a vital role in serving the human beings by introducing new means of treatments including the transplant of organs. In Islamic point of view the transplantation and donation of human organs is lawful only when it follows the objectives of Shariah. The human dignity is to be maintained in every movement of life. If practicing the transplant leads to human destruction and violation of its prestige and honor or paves the path to kidnapping, bargaining and immorality, then it should be avoided. Donation of organs, under the supervision of strict regulatory authority, will be beneficial. In this article, Islamic perspective on this issue has been brought forth.

Seed Morphological Studies and Their Taxonomic Significance in the Orders Boranginales and Lamiales from Pakistan

The seed morphological studies of 415 taxa belonging to the orders Boraginales and Lamiales were carried out from Pakistan. In Pakistan the order Boraginales is represented by 4 families viz., Boraginaceae, Cordiaceae, Ehretiaceae and Heliotropiaceae. The order Lamiales comprises 14 families viz., Acanthaceae, Bignoniaceae, Lamiaceae, Lentibulariaceae, Linderniaceae, Martyniaceae, Mazaceae, Oleaceae, Orobanchaceae, Pedaliaceae, Phrymaceae, Plantaginaceae, Scrophulariaceae and Verbenaceae. The seed macro and micro morphological characters are examined, using light (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Detailed seed morphological descriptions, micrographs and keys based on seed characters are also provided. A variety in various quantitative and qualitative seed characters such as number, weight, size, shape, apex, base, colour, surface patterns, indumentum and position of hilum was observed. The seed morphological data were found very rewarding as an additional tool to strengthen the taxonomic decisions not only at family level but also proved useful at generic, specific and infraspecific levels. The data obtained from the seed morphological characters were also analyzed numerically to trace out the phylogenetic affinities for the taxa of the orders Boraginales and Lamiales.
