    Notes: Summary The toxicity of Cu, Ni and Fe individually, as well as in combination (Cu + Ni, Cu + Fe, Ni + Fe), on growth-rate depression, uptake of NO3 − and NH4 +, photosynthesis, nitrate reductase and urease activity ofChlorella vulgaris has been studied. All the test metals when used individually showed pronounced toxicity on all the parameters studied. However, their interactive effect was mostly antagonistic except for Cu + Ni (synergism). Pre-addition of Fe offered more protection to the cells against copper and nickel toxicity. The data of statistical analysis reconfirmed that14C02 uptake is the most sensitive parameter (significant atP〈0.005, both for time and treatment) than others in metal toxicity assessment. However, these results suggest further that exposure time and sequence of metal addition are very important in biomonitoring of heavy metal toxicity.

    Environmental geochemistry of Damodar River basin, east coast of India (1999)

    Notes: Abstract  Water and bed sediment samples collected from the Damodar River and its tributaries were analysed to study elemental chemistry and suspended load characteristics of the river basin. Na and Ca are the dominant cations and HCO3 is the dominant anion. The water chemistry of the Damodar River basin strongly reflects the dominance of continental weathering aided by atmospheric and anthropogenic activities in the catchment area. High concentrations of SO4 and PO4 at some sites indicate the mining and anthropogenic impact on water quality. The high concentration of dissolved silica, relatively high (Na+K)/TZ+ ratio (0.2–0.4) and low equivalent ratio of (Ca+Mg)/(Na+K) indicate that dissolved ions contribute significantly to the weathering of aluminosilicate minerals of crystalline rocks. The seasonal data show a minimum ionic concentration in the monsoon season, reflecting the influence of atmospheric precipitation on total dissolved solids contents. The suspended sediments show a positive correlation with discharge and both discharge and suspended load reach their maximum value during the monsoon season. Kaolinite is the mineral that is possibly in equilibrium with the water. This implies that the chemistry of the Damodar River water favours kaolinite formation. The concentration of heavy metals in the finer size fraction (〈37 μ m) is significantly higher than the bulk composition. The geoaccumulation index values calculated for Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni and Cr are well below zero, suggesting that there is no pollution from these metals in Damodar River sediments.

    Utilization of wild relatives in the genetic improvement of Arachis hypogaea L. (1986)

    Keywords: Arachis ; Autotetraploid ; Chromosome pairing ; Genomic relationships ; Recombinations

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Autotetraploids were established from 8 diploid wild species of section Arachis. In all the autotetraploids the chromosomes paired largely as bivalents even though they possess the ability to pair as multivalents. Pollen and pod fertility in the C1 generation were not directly associated with chromosome pairing. The C2 generation autotetraploids showed a gradual increase in bivalent associations and pollen and pod fertility. The identification of two genomes, A and B, in the diploid species and in the tetraploid, A. hypogaea, of the section Arachis, a fairly good crossability, and the type of chromosome associations observed in hybrids between A. hypogaea and the autotetraploids of wild Arachis species indicated good prospects of utilizing autotetraploids as genetic bridges in transferring desired traits from these taxa into groundnut.

    Notes: Summary Synthetic amphidiploids were established in 32 combinations involving 8 diploid wild species representing both A and B genomes of section Arachis. Bivalent and multivalent associations in the amphidiploids of 7 A genome species confirm that these species have identical genomes. Contrastingly, high bivalent frequencies in amphidiploids involving the A and B genome species suggest that A. batizocoi has a distinct ‘B’ genome that is partially homologous to the other genome ‘A’ represented in the rest of the species. Crossability, chromosome pairing and pollen and pod fertility in hybrids between A. hypogaea and amphidiploids have revealed that these amphidiploids can be used as a genetic bridge for the transfer of genes from the wild species into the cultivated groundnut.

    Effect of low-temperature rearing on heat shock protein synthesis and heat sensitivity in Drosophila melanogaster (1988)

    Notes: The patterns of synthesis of heat shock proteins (hsp) and heat sensitivity to elevated temperatures in larvae of Drosophila melanogaster reared since hatching at 20°C (warmreared) or at 10°C (cold-reared) were compared. The pattern of hsp synthesis in salivary glands from the cold- and warm-reared late-third-instar larvae exposed for l hr to 33°C or to 37°C was generally similar except for remarkable differences in the 23 kd hsp and a heat-inducible 14 kd polypeptide. The hsp 23 was abundantly synthesised in control as well as heat-shocked warm-reared larval salivary glands, its synthesis in heat-shocked glands being dependent on new transcription. The synthesis of hsp 23 was much less in control glands of cold-reared larvae and was not further inducible by heat shock. The 14 kd polypeptide synthesis was greater in control as well as heat-shocked salivary glands of cold-reared larvae, whereas, in the warm-reared ones, its activity was much less. The cold-reared larvae showed greater sensitivity to elevated temperature; fewer adults eclosed when the cold-reared late-third-instar larvae were exposed to 40°C for l hr and also a pretreatment at 37°C for l hr was less effective in stopping the killing effect of a subsequent 40°C heat shock in cold-reared than in warmA-reared larvae. The greater thermosensitivity of the cold-reared larvae may be correlated with the altered patterns of heat shock gene transcription and translation in cold-reared larvae.

    Artifacts introduced by ion milling in Al-Li-Cu alloys (1988)

    Notes: Ion milling is commonly used to prepare specimens for observation under transmission electron microscope (TEM). This technique sometimes introduces artifacts in specimens contributing to misleading interpretation of TEM results as observed in the present investigation of Al-Li-Cu alloys. This type of alloy, in general, contains several kinds of precipitates, namely δ′ T1, and θ′. It is found that ion milling even for a short time produces drastic changes in the precipitate characterics as compared to standard electropolishing methods of specimen preparation for TEM. Careful analysis of selected area diffraction patterns and micrographs shows that after ion milling δ′ precipitates are very irregular, whereas other precipitates coarsen and they are surrounded by misfit dislocations. In situ hot-stage TEM experiments were performed to relate the microstructure to that observed in the ion-milled specimen. Results and causes of ion milling effects on the microstructure are discussed in relation to standard electropolishing techniques and in situ hot-stage experiment.
