Tea is the most popular non-alcoholic beverage obtained as an infusion of the leaves of Camellia sinensis (the tea shrub). Pakistan is the second largest importer of tea and its consumption in the country is increasing day by day. Pakistan imports almost all of its tea; spending a large amount of foreign exchange annually. Tea has recently been introduced in Pakistan as a crop and needs improved genotypes suitable to the local agro climatic conditions for fulfilling the local need. This will only be possible through discovering genotypes of higher potential and adopting of appropriate production strategies in the tea growing areas of the country. Keeping in view the dire need of understanding the genetic potential of tea genotypes this project was undertaken for characterizing all the tea cultivars currently grown in Pakistan. The cultivars were analyzed through quantitative trait analysis, DNA fingerprinting and phytochemical investigations. For quantitative trait analysis 12 genotypes, including 4 commercial varieties; 4 germplasm collections and 4 land races, were grown at two locations in District Mansehra, Pakistan. For DNA analysis 130 plants, 10 plants per genotype were screened. Quantitative trait analysis of the genotypes was carried-out for 18 quantitative and seven qualitative traits. Based on statistical analysis of leaf, shoot and seed parameters all the genotypes could be placed into two groups’ i.e. broad and narrow leaved genotypes. These groups corresponded to the Chinese and Assam types of tea. The grouping was corroborated by the fact that the narrow leaved Chinese, T-05-10 and JP-01-05 genotypes exhibited similar clustering pattern both for quantitative and qualitative parameters irrespective of the locations where the genotypes were grown. Phytochemical analysis of total polyphenols, amino acids, caffeine contents and water extracted substances from fresh tea leaves of the genotypes showed significant differences among genotypes having CV-percentage values of 18.13, 14.96, 11.0 and 5.0 respectively. Cluster analysis based on Euclidean Distance Coefficient, revealed four groups and separated the broad leaved genotypes from others.Similar results were observed using Principle Co-ordinate Analysis (PCoA).The plot of the first two components based on all characters showed a clear separation of broad leaved genotypes (C. assamica), namely IN-01-07 and SL-01-05 genotypes from the narrow leaved (C. sinensis) genotypes. For DNA analysis 75 genotypes were screened with 20 RAPD primers and 103 genotypes were screened with 12 SSR primers. Genetic diversity among the genotypes was calculated according to Nei and Li’s (1979) UPGMA and bivariate data matrix which were used for making dendrogram and deciding genetic affinity or diversity among the genotypes. RAPD primers detected 115 different alleles whereas the number of alleles analyzed through SSR primers was 87.Genetic distance estimates ranged from 0-100% showing high level of diversity among screened genotypes. UPGMA cluster analysis of RAPD data showed mixed grouping profile of the samples, however, samples from different plants of particular genotypes segregated into independent sub-clusters. Average number of alleles amplified per SSR marker varied from 4 to 10.Pair wise genetic diversity among all samples ranged from 0% to 100%.Dendrogram based cluster analysis revealed five main clusters showing mixed pattern but most of the genotypes were separated in sub groups according to the genetic affinity. The findings of molecular analyses were generally cocurred with the results obtained from quantitative trait analysis which revealed a close genetic affinity among the tea genotypes based on the leaf size. The variations between and within genotypes; collected from different sites; were very high; confirming differences in origin of the tested samples.Failure of placing some broad leaf genotypes into clearly defined separate clusters may be due to introgressions as a result of cross pollination in tea cultivars. Results obtained from quantitative and qualitative trait analysis superimposed on phytochemical data clearly differentiated all the tea genotypes into two discrete groups viz. broad and narrow leaved genotypes. Molecular results also coincided with that of morphological and phytochemical analysis except that molecular analyses separated the two taxa in individual sub-clusters instead of main clusters. Ich-08 genotype was found to be best in flush production, however it has poor adoptability. On the other hand Ich-05 was found best in adaptability at the same time having flush production comparable to Ich-08. Hence Ich-08 is recommended for further evaluation and for registration as a new variety for general cultivation.

بلاد اسلاميہ ميں مندروں كى تعمير

There are rulings for both Muslims and non-Muslims in Islām whereby Muslims are bound to act and deal with the nonMuslims according to those teachings. There are numerous books authored in classical and modern times that include all such details of dealing with the different categories and of nonMuslims. It is therefore incumbent on Muslims to follow all such jurisprudential guidelines in all times and places. Although the application and employment methods of these legislations may vary in modern times but Islām has clearly stipulated its objectives and expectations that every Muslim pledges to fulfill in all times. In this paper, in stead of mentioning the jurisprudential details and discussions regarding building temples and religious places on non-Muslims in Muslim lands, only those verses of the Qur’ān and the Aḥādīth are mentioned that are basis for all such jurisprudential discussions. Numerous Qur’ānic verses and Prophetic traditions along with the consensus of companions and scholars are compiled in this paper to clarify the rightful stance in this regard.

Due to the importance of Brevibacterium linens in the industrial production of enzymes, amino acids and vitamins, the vast majority of research carried out has focused on expression of extra cellular proteins and amino acid biosynthesis. Most research to date on B. linens has demonstrated that the physiological and metabolic activities of the bacterium are significantly strain dependent. The heterogeneity among different stains of B. linens has also been confirmed by studies of DNA-DNA homology and partial 16S rDNA sequence analysis. A large number of questions remain to be answered in many areas of the physiology, metabolism, genetics, and taxonomy of Brevibacterium linens DSM 20158. As far as we are aware, there has not yet been a report on the global analysis of cellular proteins associated with B. linens DSM 20158. It may be because of the unsequenced genome of this strain. However in the present study due to the establishment of the Brevibacterium linens BL2 shotgun genome sequence, we have focused on three aspects of this bacterium in order to understand the physiology and biochemistry of the organism as a whole (i) by optimizing production, purification and characterization of industrially important extra cellular enzymes such as alpha-amylase, protease, lipase and an important amino acid L-Lysine which this strain produces naturally, (ii) by isolation, purification and characterization of respiratory chain complexes (iii) by charting the cellular and extra cellular proteome analysis of Brevibacterium linens DSM 20158 which lacks a sequenced genome by mass spectrometry-driven sequence similarity searches. One factor optimization is time consuming, laborious and does not give information about interactions between various fermentation variables. Therefore, we used a statistical approach to optimize factors that influence the production of extra cellular enzymes and amino acids. We used solid state fermentation due to its preference over submerged fermentation. Various cultivation parameters were optimized using a statistical approach to improve the alpha amylase, protease, lipase and L-lysine yield by Brevibacterium linens DSM 20158. The Plackett-Burman design was used to screen the fermentation variables followed by the optimization of significant parameters by response surface CCD in each case. Using the optimal factors, alpha amylase and protease yield was found to be twofold higher than that obtained in the unoptimized reference medium whereas lipase and L-lysine production was also found to be improved by using statistical IAbstract approach. The closeness of optimized values to experimental values proved the validity of the statistical model. B.linens was found to have a branched electron transport chain (Respiratory chain), in which electrons can enter the respiratory chain either at NADH (complex I) or at complex II level. In the present study, we were able to isolate and purify the complex-II (succinate dehydrogenase), complex III (menaquinole cytochrome c reductase cytochrome c subunit, complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) and complex V (ATP synthase) of the plasma membrane of Brevibacterium linens strain DSM 20158. Oxidized, reduced and pyridine ferrohemochrome spectra of membrane-bound complex-II, III and IV of this bacterium showed the presence of cytochrome b, cytochrome c and cytochrome aa3 respectively which were further confirmed by the heme staining. The complex II isolated from Brevibacterium linens strain DSM 20158 seems to contain three subunits of 64.8-, 30- and 12- kDa. The enzymatic activity of succinate dehydrogenase showed that it is highly active in this microorganism. The complex III, also known as Menaquinol- cytochrome c reductase cytochrome c subunit, was identified with a single band of about 26 kDa. The complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) was seen to be composed of two subunits at 62.8-, 32- kDa and was further confirmed by its enzymatic activity. The Complex V (F 1 F o -ATP synthase), essential for ATP generation by oxidative phosphorylation, is isolated, purified and appears to be biphasic in nature during its kinetic studies. Brevibacterium linens DSM 20158 is an industrially important actinobacterium, but the lack of a genome sequence limits the applicability of conventional protein identification methods to the proteome of this bacterium. Although a shotgun genome sequence for the BL2 strain of this microbe, it does not cover the entire scope of its proteome. This study has established the first comprehensive proteomic reference map of B. linens DSM 20158. The present study is carried out first by identification of proteins by homology database MASCOT followed by the advanced approach of de novo genome sequence assembly and MS BLAST to drive the expanding B. linens scope of proteomics. This study will help to enhance the usability of this strain of B. linens in different areas of research in future rather in food industries only.
