There is instant need of enhancing sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) productivity being a potential cash crop for increasing edible oil requirement in the country. Its yield can be increased by balanced fertilization and adoption of the improved planting techniques. The studies were conducted with the objectives to find the efficient method of micronutents application for higher yield of sunflower and to assess the effect of varying levels of Zn, B and Fe alone as well as in combinations with varied NPK levels and to find out the interaction between plant spacing, cultivars and fertility levels on the growth and yield of sunflower. In this context, two experiments were carried out at Students Farm, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam, Pakistan (25o 40’N, 68o 43E. In 1st experiment entited “Effect of micronutrient levels and placement methods on the yield of sunflower cultivars” there were three sunflower genotyeps i.e. HO-1, Hysun-39 and Ausigold-62 tested under different micronutrients levels (0-0-0, 0-0.75-0.30, 0-0.75-0.30, 3-0.75-0.30, 5-0.75-0.30, 8-0.75-0.30 Z, B and Fe kg ha-1, respectively) and methods of placement i.e. placement and foliar application. The findings of the two years study showed that application of Zn, B and Fe at the rate of8-0.30-0.75 kg ha-1 resulted higher stem girth, head diameter, number of seeds head-1, seed weight head-1, seed index, oil content, seed yield, CGR, LAI, LAD, TDM,NAR, Zn content and uptake. The highest B and Fe uptake was recorded at 5-0.30-0.75 kg Zn-B-Fe ha-1. In case of micronutrientsapplication methods; taller plants, higher stem girth, head diameter, seed weight, seed index and oil content were recorded in foliar sprayed.The foliar spray of micronutrients had resulted in higher B and Fe content and uptake of Zn, B and Fe than placement. The foliar application substantially enhanced the uptake of Zn, B and Fe in sunflower thanplacement method of application. Comparing sunflower cultivars/hybrids, the hybrids HO-1 and Hysun-39 had taller plants, seed weight head-1, seeds head-1 and earlier flowering and maturity. However, the hybrid HO-1 was higher in germination,leaf area index and head diameter. The higher stem girth was recorded for the hybrid hysun-39. Flowering and maturity delayed by the hybrid Ausi Gold-62 with heavier seed index (g), oil content, TDM, NAR, Zn and B uptake . However, the seed yield was remained statistically similar for all the three cultivars. In 2ndexperiment entitled, “Response of sunflower cultivars to planting geometry under different fertility levels” consisted of three factors i.e. fertility levels (the combine application NPK and Z, B and Fe levels viz 0-0-0 and0-0-0, 60-45-45 and5-0.75-0.30, 90- 45-45 and5-0.75-0.30 and120- 45-45, 5-0.75-0.30 and150- 45-45 and 5-0.75-0.30 kg NPK and Z, B and Fe ha-1),sunflower cultivars(HO-1, Hysun-39 and Ausi Gold-62) and plant spacing of 15, 30 and 45 cm with a uniform row to row distance of 75 cm. The results revealed that the hybrid HO-1 had higher germination, attained taller height with maximum head diameter, seed weight head-1 and number of seeds head-1. The cultivar Ausi gold-62 had taken maximum days to flowering and had higher seed index and oil content. Higher stem girth, seed yield, TDM, uptake of studied plant nutrients was recorded for Hysun-39. In case of plant to plant distance, the highest agronomic, physiological, oil yield as well as contents and uptake of N, P, Zn, B and Fe was increased by spacing the plants at 45 cm followed by the plants spaced at 30 cm. Furthermore, higher agronomic, yield and oil traits were recorded in plots which received NPK + Zn-B-Fe at the rate of 150-45-45 and 5-0.75-0.30 kg ha-1, respectively.The physiological traits were found higher for the treatment (150-45-45 NPK and 5-0.75-0.30 Zn-B-Fe kg ha-1, respectively). The higher N, P, K, Zn, B and Fe contents was noted for NPK and Zn-B-Fe applied at the rate of 150-45-45 and Zn, B and Fe at rate of 5-0.75-0.30 kg ha-1. The higher uptake of N was received from 150-45-45 NPK and 5-0.75-0.30 Zn-B-Fe kg ha-1, respectively followed by N applied at rate of 120 kg ha-1 with the same levels of other nutrients. The P uptake was higher in treatment (60-45-45NPK and 5-0.75-0.30 Zn-B-Fe kg ha-1, respectively). Higher B and Fe uptake was recorded in plots which recieved NPK at the rate of 60-45-45 and Zn-B-Fe at the rate of 5-0.75-0.30 kg ha-1, respectively. It is concluded that micronutrients foliar application improved almost all agronomic, physiological and nutrients content and uptake in sunflower. The application of NPK (150-45-45 kg ha-1) and Zn, B and Fe (5-0.75-0.30 kg ha-1) was superior and optimum fertilizer for sunflower production. Row to row and plant to plant distance of 75 cm x 45 cm was found highly imperative for higher yield and yield components of sunflower. Thus, it is recommended that HO-1, Hysun-39 and AusiGold-62 can be fertilized with NPK at the rate of 150-45-45 kg ha-1 and Zn-B-Fe (8-0.75-0.30 kg ha-1) for increasing yield and maintenance of soil fertility under plant spacing of 45 cm with row to row distance of 75 cm.

جس رزق سے آتی ہو پرواز میں کوتاہی

جس رزق سے آتی ہو پرواز میں کوتاہی
نحمدہ وَ نُصَلِّیْ علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اساتذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پرلب کشائی کی سعادت حاصل ہورہی ہے وہ ہے:
’’جس رزق سے آتی ہو پرواز میں کوتاہی‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
انسان نے ایّام زیست گزارنے ہیں، عالم رنگ و بو میں سانس لینا ہے، اس جہاں کے اندر موجود نشیب و فراز سے اسے واسطہ پڑنا ہے، افراط و تفریط کا شکار بھی ہونا ہے، اور پھر افراط وتفریط کے گرداب سے اپنی ناؤ کی حفاظت بھی کرنی ہے، کا ئنات کی رنگینیاں، رعنائیاں اور دل آویز یاں بھی اُس کے لیے سازگار ماحول فراہم کریں گی۔ یہ سب منظر اس کی آنکھوں کے سامنے سے گزرنے ہیں۔
صدرِذی وقار!
ان انعامات الٰہیہ سے صرف وہی مستفید ہو سکتا ہے، جس میں ان کے حسین مناظر کو دیکھنے کی سکت ہو ،جس کی قوتِ سماعت مضبوط ہو، جس کے حواسِ خمسہ ان حسین و جمیل نظاروں کے لیے مستعد رہتے ہوں ،جونسیمِ صبح کی فرحت بخش ٹھنڈک محسوس کرنے کے لیے ہمہ وقت آرزومند ہو، جن کے جسم و جاں کسی اضمحلال کا شکار نہ ہوں۔
محترم صدر!
انسان کو اللہ تعالیٰ نے اشرف المخلوقات بنایا ہے، عظمت کا تاج اس کے سر پر سجایا ہے، انسان ہمیشہ اعلیٰ سے اعلیٰ اور ارفع سے ارفع کا آرزو مند رہتا ہے، اُس کا طائر غور و فکر بلند پروازی کا متمنی رہتا ہے، اُس کی اُمنگیں اور آرزوئیں عظیم سے عظیم تر ہوتی ہیں، وہ کبھی گھٹیا اور ادنیٰ حرکت کا مرتکب نہیں ہوتا۔ اُس کے حوصلے بلند اور عزائم مضبوط ہوتے ہیں۔
جنابِ صدر!
شاعرِمشرق حضرت علامہ اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ انسان کو اس کی حقیقت سے...

Molecular Genetics of Autosomal Recessive Retinitis Pigmentosa in Consanguineous Pakistani Families

It is an established fact that genetic disorders are one of the most important threats to human health. Several genetic disorders have been described clinically but their etiology is still unidentified and mysterious. The molecular basis for most of them is also unknown. With the advancement in the field of molecular biology different powerful techniques have been developed to understand the molecular basis of hereditary disorders. This would help in the subsequent identification of causative genes and mutations. Blindness and visual impairment due to genetic disorders are more common in developing countries like Pakistan than in developed countries. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a major form of incurable blindness affecting one out of 4000 people worldwide. This highly heterogeneous disease has numerous inheritance patterns with the end result of partial to complete irreversible blindness. Another ocular disorder called fundus albipunctatus (FAP) also has some symptoms similar to RP like night blindness. In FAP this night blindness occurs in childhood but it remains stationary and day vision is not affected as in the case of RP where constriction of day vision occurs gradually. The present study was aimed to analyze families with ocular disorder. Families with autosomal recessive hereditary retinitis pigmentosa were used for mapping the disease genes and mutations. Seven consanguineous unrelated families (RP8, RP9, RP11, RP12, RP13, RP14 and RP16) with inherited RP were ascertained from different regions of Pakistan. The mode of inheritance in all families was inferred as autosomal recessive. The strategy used for this study was candidate gene approach. Linkage analysis was performed by PCR using STR (short tandem repeats) microsatellite markers for the known loci/genes. Direct sequencing (next generation sequencing) of the PCR products was carried out for identification of pathogenic mutations. In the present study linkage to crumbs homolog 1 (CRB1) gene on chromosome 1q31.3 was confirmed in family RP12. A novel missense mutation in human CRB1 gene has been found after sequence analysis of exon 6 of the CRB1 gene at nucleotide position xx 1459 (c.1459T>C). At protein level this mutation resulted in a substitution of proline for serine at amino acid 487 (p.Ser487Pro). It was inferred that mutation in this gene is strong enough to cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. After the initial screening of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa loci for family RP13, it was evident that there was no involvement of retinitis pigmentosal loci in the disease phenotype and it was a rare case of fundus albipunctatus, with RDH5 gene defect as the underlying cause. The family RP13 showed linkage to retinol dehydrogenase 5 (11-cis/9-cis) RDH5 gene after homozygosity mapping. A novel missense mutation at nucleotide position 602 (c.602 C>T) was identified after next generation sequencing of exon 4 of the RDH5 gene .This mutation resulted in substitution of phenylealanine for serine at amino acid 201 (p.Ser201Phe) of the RDH5 gene. The mutations in RDH5 gene are related to fundus albipunctatus (FAP). This is an exceptional form of stationary night blindness, it was deduced that mutation in this gene was responsible for autosomal recessive FAP in this family. The family RP14 showed exclusion to all the known genes and loci of RP. It was inferred that a novel locus/gene is responsible for causing RP in this family. The strongest candidate gene was RY2R which was earlier involved in cardiac disorder. Fine mapping in future would confirm the involvement of this gene in RP. Four families (RP8, RP9, RP11 and RP16) with some of the common selected loci/gene showed heterozygosity for the different combinations of the parental alleles in both affected and normal individuals after the linitial linkage. This heterozygosity confirmed exclusion to five selected known loci or genes on different chromosomes associated with autosomal recessive RP. Since many genes and loci are involved in this disease and genotyping using vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is a time taking and laborious method so commonly found genes in RP were initially selected which showed exclusion.On the basis of these exclusions it was inferred that a novel locus/gene or mutation is involved in these families which could be identified by SNP affymetrix array technique and sequencing. Many loci/genes/mutations are yet to be identified for this phenotype. It would be helpful in future to understand the disease prognosis. This research will also provide a smooth way for carrier screening, genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis. This study may help gaining insight into the genetic causes underlying these disorders, to improve the clinical management and prevention.
