Drought is the most recurring environmental stress that reduces seed cotton yield, oil contents and fiber quality of cotton crop. Cotton provides raw material to textile sector, the most important sector of Pakistan. It provides livelihood to rural and urban people. Keeping in view the importance of cotton, present study was conducted in the glasshouse (Experiment 1) and research area (Experiment 2) of the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan. Thirty upland BT cotton genotypes were collected from different research institutes (Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Central Cotton Research Institute (CCRI), Multan and Ayyub Agricultural Research Institute (AARI), Faisalabad. The genotypes/cultivars were screened for drought tolerance under glasshouse conditions on the basis of root length, shoot length, root dry and fresh weight, shoot fresh and dry weight, cell membrane stability, excised leaf water loss, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, proline content and relative water content. Two tolerant (FH-114 and CIM-602) and two susceptible (TARZAN-1 and A-555) genotypes/cultivars were selected to develop F1, F2 and backcross populations. All populations (F1, F2, BC1 and BC2) developed from the crosses along with parents were grown under water deficit stress in field conditions. Drought stress was imposed by withholding water. Data regarding the traits, relative water content, excised leaf water loss, cell membrane stability, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance and proline content with different agronomic and fiber quality traits was recorded from F2 plants along with parental and back cross populations. The correlation analysis revealed that relative water content and cell membrane stability had correlation with yield. Positive correlation of relative water content with cell membrane stability revealed that the genes which help plant maintain relative water content may also be indirectly involved for cell membrane stability and could be associated with drought tolerance in cotton. Additive, dominance as well as gene interaction was found in the inheritance of almost all the traits under drought stress condition. Narrow sense heritability estimates showed that the traits were highly heritable so, considerable progress may be made in breeding for drought tolerance. All the genotypes were studied for genetic variation at molecular level using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 40 primers were tested for the estimation of genetic diversity among 30 parental genotypes, out of which 20 were found polymorphic. Total number of alleles amplified by these primers were 116 with an average of 5.8 allele per locus. Twenty primers were found to be polymorphic showing 13% genetic diversity. The genotypes FH-142 and TARZAN-1 were least similar among all the genotypes studied showing 78% similarity whereas, genotypes FH-113 and FH-114 showed high similarity (98%) among all. Genetic transformation was done via pollen tube mediated transformation method and GUS assay was performed on seed, embryo and leaf of transgenic plant progeny. Out of 200 plants assayed, only 7 T1 plant seedlings showed intense activity of GUS. Polymerase chain reaction also confirmed the presence of bar and dreb2 genes in the transformed plants. So, pollen tube mediated transformation could be effective for developing drought tolerant material. It is also suggested that exotic germplasm must be included in the present breeding material to broaden the genetic base so that varieties could be developed having better yield and tolerance to drought stress. On the basis of results deduced from present studies, it is concluded that agronomic, physiological, biochemical and molecular approaches could be used to develop better yielding genotypes with good quality fiber having tolerance against drought stress.

Teknis Pendirian Perbankan Syariah di Indonesia

Syariah banking as an important component of banking law in Indonesia is currently experiencing rapid growth. The existence of Shariah banking is expected to help solve various problems in Indonesia, especially poverty. In the midst of its development, Shariah banking has not been able to handle the market share where the majority of the market share comes from people from the middle class. In addition, the education and socialization of Shariah banking is insufficient, so there is a diversity of public perceptions regarding Shariah banking. Pros and cons occur in society regarding the establishment of Sharia banks, where the benefits of Sharia banking are enormous, both in the economic world and in the future. This research uses literature review. Review using a qualitative approach. Primary data sources in this research were obtained from observations or research observations on problems that occur with Sharia banking management. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained from good literature and books, journals and other sources related to current materials.

Synthesis, Characterization and Structural Determination of Some Transition Metal Fluoride Chelates

Nitrogen donor ligands have been found to cause d-block metal fluorides to dissolve in water ethanol and methanol. From some of these solutions metal fluoride hydrate complexes were isolated. The work had been concentrated on fluorides of metals that have a role in enzymes; copper, zinc, nickel and cobalt. A large number of fluoride complexes have been made and some of them produced crystals suitable for the X-ray analysis. The X-ray and infrared studies indicated that the structures were stabilized by extensive fluoride hydrogen bonding interactions involving ligand or lattice molecules. In some fluoride complexes, the fluoride hydrogen bonds were very strong. The X-ray structure determination of [Ni(im)6]F2.5H2O (1a) (im = imidazole) revealed the presence of octahedral configuration around nickel. This complex presents a rare example of a complex with lattice water hydrogen bonded to lattice fluoride. Both the intra and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds were observed in the structure of [Ni(im)6]F2.5H2O (1a). The lattice fluorides are connected by short hydrogen bonds to lattice waters. Moreover intra-molecular hydrogen bonds connect the lattice water to -NH group of imidazole. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds between lattice fluoride and -NH group of imidazole and between lattice water of one molecule and lattice fluoride of other molecule also exists and stabilizes the crystal. In [Ni(dmen)2F2].8H2O (1b) (dmen = 1,1,N,N-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine) nickel has some what distorted octahedral geometry, in which it is coordinated to two fluorides and two 1,1,N,N-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine ligands (dmen). The fluoride ligands are trans to each other and occupy axial positions. This is an example of molecular complex. xi The two hydrogen bonds of apical fluorides are R(F---O) = 2.6104(11) and 2.6798(12) Å which are among the short F---H-O hydrogen bonds between lattice water and fluoride ligand in a neutral complex. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of [Co(im)6]SiF6 (2a) (im = imidazole) provided a rare example of complex where SiF62- ion present as counter ion. SiF62- indicates regular octahedral geometry with all F-Si-F bond angles of 90.82(4) and 89.18(3)°. Each fluoride ion of hexafluorosilicate moiety is hydrogen bonded to two nitrogen atoms of coordinated imidazole with N-H---F = 2.9345(12) Å. The SiF62- anion join [Co(im)6]2+ cations through hydrogen bonds forming infinitely extended chains. A complex of cobalt and 1,10-phenanthroline [Co(phen)3]F2.2H2O (2c) was prepared. The X-ray analysis revealed weak hydrogen bonds between lattice fluoride and lattice waters. There are also strong hydrogen bonds between lattice waters with R(O2---O1) = 2.780(2) Å. This distance is significantly shorter than sum of their Vander Waal’s radii (3.04 Å). The crystal structure of [Co(bpy)2(CO)3]F.8H2O (2d) (bpy = 2,2 ́-bipyridine) showed that the cobalt has distorted octahedral environment. The complex has been synthesized without adding any carbonate. The source of carbonate could be air CO2, dissolved and get trapped in lattice during slow evaporation. O-H---O and O-H---F hydrogen bonds generate a one dimensional chain. The R (O---F) bond length in this complex is within the range of short lattice fluoride lattice water hydrogen bond distances. Two isostructural complexes [Co(dmen)2F2].2H2O (2b) and [Zn(dmen)2F2].2H2O (3) (dmen = 1,1,N,N-dimethylethan-1,2-diamine) were prepared. Their X-ray analysis revealed that coordinated fluorides occupied apical positions in both complexes. Lattice waters are strongly hydrogen bonded to apical fluorides. These F---HOH hydrogen bonds extend through the lattice and stabilize the complex. A relatively weak intramolecular hydrogen bond exists between axial fluorides and -NH groups. The linear chain complex [Cu(isna)4SiF6].9H2O (4) (isna = isonicotinamide) was prepared by reacting copper fluoride in methanol water mixture with isonicotinamide (isna). The X-ray structure of the complex [Cu(isna)4SiF6].9H2O (4) revealed the presence of chains built up by [Cu(isna)4]2+ and SiF62- ions, attached to each other via Cu-F-Si bonds. The coordination geometry around the copper is tetragonally distorted octahedral. The two axial copper to fluoride bonds are slightly elongated due to John Teller’ s distortion in octahedral Cu(II) complexes. Geometry around SiF62- is almost regular octahedral. Each fluoride of coordinated SiF62- is hydrogen bonded to two ring nitrogen atoms belonging to ligand isonicotinamide with R(N--- F) = 2.838(3) Å. Water molecule O(2) in lattice form four hydrogen bonds in tetrahedral geometry, one with amide nitrogen, second with carbonyl oxygen and two with water molecules.
