GENETSKA VARIJABILNOST, ZNAČAJKE I GENETSKA RAZLIČITOST AZIJSKOG GRAHA (VIGNA RADIATE L. WILCZEK)

Genetic variability, correlation coefficient, path coefficient and genetic diversity were determined among fifty mungbean genotypes. There was a great deal of significant variation for all the characters among the genotypes. Considering genetic parameters high genotypic co-efficient of variation (GCV) was observed for no. of primary branches, seed yield per plant but no. of seed per pod and days to 80% maturity showed low GCV. In all the cases, phenotypic variances were higher than the genotypic variance. High heritability with low genetic advance in percent of mean was observed for days to 50% flowering suggesting non-additive gene effects for the expression of the character and selection for such trait might not be rewarding. High heritability with high genetic advance in percent of mean was observed for no. of primary branches per plant and a thousand seed weight indicating that this trait was under additive gene control and selection for genetic improvement for this trait would be effective. Seed yield per plant showed highest significant positive correlation with a thousand seed weight. It also has a significant positive correlation with seed per pod at genotypic level and a non-significant positive correlation with seed per pod at phenotypic level. Therefore, these traits could be important for the direct selection to improve yield. Total six clusters were formed for fifty genotypes. Considering group distance, cluster mean values, and other agronomic performances, inter genotypic crosses between G16 and G47; G16 and G13; G47 and G13: G21 and G19: G8 and G21, G21 and G35, G3 and G8, G3 and G35, G3 and G19, G8 and G19 might be suggested for future hybridization program.Među pedeset genotipova azijskog graha određeni su genetska varijabilnost, koeficijent korelacije, koeficijent putanje i genetska različitost. Među genotipovima bilo je mnogo značajnog variranja u svim značajkama. U genetskim parametrima primijećen je značajno visoki koeficijent raznolikosti (GLV) u broju primarnih grančica i prinosu sjemena po biljci, ali je broj sjemenki po mahuni dana do 80% zrelosti pokazao niski GLV. U svim slučajevima fenotipska variranja bila su viša nego genotipska variranja. Visoka nasljednost s niskim genetskim napretkom u postotku prosjeka primijećeni su za dane do 50% do cvatnje, što pretpostavlja djelovanje neaditivnog gena za izražavanje značajki pa selekcija za takve osebine možda nije korisna. Visoka nasljednost s visokim genetskim napretkom u postotku prosjeka primijećena je za broj primarnih grančica po biljci i težinu 1000 sjemenki, što upućuje da je ova osobina pod kontrolom aditivnog gena, te da bi selekcija za genetsko poboljšanje ove osobine bila djelotvorna. Prinos sjemena po biljci pokazao je najvišu značajnu pozitivnu korelaciju s težinom 1000 sjemenki. Isto tako ima pozitivnu korelaciju sa sjemenom po mahuni na razini fenotipa. Stoga bi ove značajke mogle biti važne za izravnu selekciju radi poboljšanja prinosa. Formirano je ukupno šest klastera za pedeset genotipova. S obzirom na grupnu udaljenost, srednju vrijednost klastera i druge agronomske rezultate/performanse može se preporučiti međugenetsko križanje za buduće programe hibridizacije između G16 i G47; G16 i G13; G47 i G13; G21 i G19, G8 i G21, G21 i G35, G3 i G8, G3 i G35, G3 i G19, G8 i G19

Clinical efficacy of Tila Taila Paada Abhyanga and Eye Exercises in the management of Timira w.s.r. to Simple Myopia

As the world is heading into this new era of digitalization, it is also dragging itself into the valley of diseases and the most apparent and direct ill effect of it can be seen on the health of the eyes. The diseases of eyes are very prevalently emerging in today’s time owing to its multiple abundantly found causative factors like absence of following healthy lifestyle, unhealthy/ improper diet, excessive screen time etc. The most common among the diseases of eyes are the refractive errors. Uncorrected refractive error is reported as the first cause for visual impairment. WHO states that uncorrected myopia is the most common cause for visual impairment. Ayurveda, the Science of Life explicitly talks about the structure of Eye, its Diseases, and the various measures and medications used to preserve the health as well as cure the Diseases of Eyes. Paada Abhyanga is one among them. All the Bhrihatrayees have mentioned about the positive effect of Paada Abhyanga on Eyes i.e., as Drishtiprasaadaka. Eye Exercises well known to reduce the constant Stress of the Eyes caused due to Myopia can be effectively adopted in the management of Myopia

Effect of sunlight and artificial light on micropropagation of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plantlets

Fluorescent lamps (artificial light) and sunlight were used as lighting source in present study to identify feasibility of using sunlight in plant tissue culture laboratory. In vitro regenerated nodal segments of the cardinal variety of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) were inoculated in MS medium without any growth regulator for shoot and root development. After 30 days of culture in an average temperature at 21.94±0.21°C, relative humidity 39.35±0.75%, various morphological responses i.e. plantlet height, diameter of plantlet, number of nodes per plantlet, inter node distance, number of leaves per plantlet, fresh and dry weight of plantlets , number of root, length of root, growth rate etc. were recorded. The average light intensity at sunlight and artificial treatment was observed at 4805.5±326.54 lux and 3484±84.44 lux, respectively. All the growth factors performed better result in sunlight treatment than those of artificial one except average number of nodes and leaves. The average height of plantlet at sunlight was 53.33±3.32 mm which was greater than that of artificial light 51.67±2.15 mm. Fresh weight and dry weight are two important morphological factors for plantlet and in case of fresh weight that was always greater 0.49±0.097 in sunlighted plantlet and 0.21±0.026 in artificial one.  In case of dry weight the average weight 0.08±0.016 was greater in sunlighted plantlet than that of 0.03±0.004 in artificial one. Number of roots, root length and growth rate of the plantlets observed higher in sunlighted plantlets compared to artificial light. Moreover, the sunlighted plantlets were healthier, vigorous and strong which helped plants to establish in net house easily. Considering the cost of electricity consumption, from a laboratory area of 20.47 m2 BD Taka 63% could be saved in each month by using sunlight. As low cost options of energy saving in tissue culture laboratory using sunlight would be feasible and environmentally friendly technology for commercial point of view in Bangladesh

Effects of Corneal Transplant on Rates of Retinal Detachment

Introduction: Corneal transplant remains the gold standard treatment for irreversible corneal damage. The purpose of this study is to evaluate retinal detachment rates and clinical outcomes after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and endothelial keratoplasty (EK). We hypothesized that corneal transplants would increase the rate of RD. Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized corneal transplant data from all surgical visits from PK or EK between April 1, 2012 and August 31, 2018. Individual charts were reviewed from patients who had a subsequent retinal detachment. Incidence of retinal detachment following PK or EK was the main outcome measured. Results: A total of 1,676 PKs and 2,292 EKs were performed for 3,069 patients during the study period. Fifty-four cases of retinal detachment occurred during the study period; forty-two cases occurred after PK and twelve cases occurred after EK. The rate of retinal detachment after EK (11 of 2,292; 0.5%) was significantly lower than that after PK (43 of 1,676; 2.6%) (p = 0.01). Additionally, the odds of developing retinal detachment after PK or EK performed in conjunction with anterior or pars plana vitrectomy were significantly higher than after either PK or EK alone (OR: 8.66; 95% CI: 2.98-25.18; p \u3c 0.001). Discussion: Overall rates of retinal detachment for individuals receiving either PK or EK were low. Rates of retinal detachment were significantly lower for EK compared to PK. These results support our hypothesis and can help patients make informed decisions on their surgical options and associated risks

Caesarean myomectomy in a patient with multiple maternal and fetal comorbidities: a rare interesting case report

Caesarean myomectomy has been traditionally discouraged due to the fear of complications like intractable haemorrhage, peripartum hysterectomy, and increased postoperative morbidity. Recently, a number of authors in their studies have shown that myomectomy during caesarean section does not increase the risk of haemorrhage or postoperative morbidity, if adequate haemostatic methods are used and done by skilled surgical hands. Caesarean myomectomy was performed in a case of elderly primigravida with 36-week gestation with chronic hypertension with polyhydramnios with anterior wall pedunculated fibroid of 8.6×7.2×8 cm and multiple small fibroids in the anterior wall, fundus and subserosal plane. Caesarean myomectomy is a safe and effective procedure in a tertiary care centre at hands of an experienced surgeon

Determining the status of chlorinated pesticide residue in some leafy vegetables

A study was carried out to identify the bioaccumulation and the ascertain level of chlorinated pesticide residues in three leafy vegetables viz. red amaranth, spinach and Indian spinach collected from city market. The samples were randomly collected from different shops and analyzed by capillary column of Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) with Electron Impact Ionization (EI) method for the detection of chlorinated pesticide. The results of the study revealed that collected samples of red amaranth and spinach were contaminated with some chlorinated substances. But Indian spinach was free of contamination with organochlorine pesticide
