    Notes: Abstract Organic N solubilized by NH3(aq) was extracted from 15N-labelled or unlabelled soil, concentrated and added to non-extracted soil, which was incubated under aerobic conditions at 27±1°C. Gross N mineralization, gross N immobilization, and nitrification in soils with or without addition of unlabelled soluble organic N were estimated by models based on the dilution of the NH 4 + or NO inf3 sup- pools, which were labelled with 15N at the beginning of incubation. Mineralization of labelled organic N was measured by the appearance of label in the mineral N pool. Although gross N mineralization and gross N immobilization were increased in two soils between day 0 and day 7 following addition of unlabelled organic N solubilized by NH3(aq), there was no increase in net N mineralization. Solubilization of 15N-labelled organic N increased and the 15N enrichment of the soluble organic N decereased as the concentration of NH3(aq) added increased. A constant proportion of approximately one-quarter of the labelled organic N added at different rates to non-extracted soil was recovered in the mineral N pool after an incubation period of 14 days, and the availability ratios calculated from net N mineralization data were 1.1:1 and 2.1:1 for 111 and 186 mg added organic-N kg-1 soil, respectively, indicating that the mineralization of organic N was increased by solubilization.

    Notes: Abstract Added N interactions were measured in four soil incubated with 15N-labelled urea or diammonium phosphate. The use of biologically active, γ-irradiated, or reinoculated γ-irradiated samples allowed us to separate added N interactions due to chemical and biological processes, and to distinguish real interactions from apparent effects. Real biologically mediated added N interactions were observed in one soil for both fertilizer sources and in three soils amended with urea. These real interactions increased with the N fertilizer rate, but did not differ significantly between N sources. Fertilizer-induced unlabelled organic N in soil extracts declined during incubation in both sterile and non-sterile samples, but the temporal decline was higher in biologically active soil. Changes in fertilizer-induced unlabelled organic N in the extracts of three soils attributed to biological processes were similar to the measured real biologically mediated added N interactions. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that real biologically mediated added N interactions arise from the mineralization of soil organic N solubilized by alkaline-hydrolysing N fertilizers.

    Notes: Abstract Some of the measures suggested for amelioration of drought effects include application of N fertilizer and plant growth regulators (PGRs). Since N2-fixing bacteria produce plant growth substances (PGRs), the effect of foliar application of an active strain of Klebsiella sp. (KUPOS) on IR-50 rice was examined using three foliar sprays applied at 10-day intervals. Irrigation once every 3 days was essential for plant growth. Application of KUPOS and 40 kg N ha-1 improved grain yield of acutely water stressed plants from 330 kg ha-1 to more than 1300 kg ha-1 along with an improvement in several growth variables and yield determinants. Indole acetic acid, kinetin and GA3, in a mixture of 10-4 M of each, were less effective than KUPOS in alleviating stress effects. The adverse effects of water stress on respiration and photosynthesis as indicated by CO2 exchange were also alleviated by these treatments. While uptake of K, Mg, Ca, Fe and Mo was increased, Na content decreased, accompanied by an increase in proline content. The order of effectiveness of the treatments was 40 kg N ha-1 〉KUPOS〉PGRs.

    Notes: Summary Hypocotyl calli-derived protoplasts of two cultivars of Brassica juncea (2n=36), a major oil-seed crop, were fused with normal as well as γ-irradiated mesophyll protoplasts of Eruca sativa (2n=22). The irradiation of the Eruca fusion partner increased the plating efficiency as well as the morphogenic potentiality of the fusion products over the normal fusion. Fertile plants could be regenerated from such fusion products. Analysis of 63 out of 181 plants regenerated showed that, indeed, 11 somatic hybrids (2n=58) and 10 partial somatic hybrids (chromosome number ranged between 50 and 56) had been obtained. Pollen viability (0%–82.9%) and seed set (0%–50%) of the hybrids indicated them to be useful for future studies.

    Notes: Abstract An attempt to transfer genes from droughttolerant Diplotaxis harra, a wild relative of Brassica species, to an elite oil-yielding cultivar, B-85, of mustard (Brassica juncea) was made through protoplast fusion, as the two plant systems are sexually incompatible. By following the standard protocol for PEG-mediated protoplast fusion followed by high pH, high Ca++, DMSO treatment and appropriate cell-culture technique, 16 presumptive somatic hybrid plants could be regenerated. Chromosomal analysis of four such somatic hybrids revealed that three of them were asymmetric. Analysis of morphological characters, meiotic chromosomes, and esterase isoenzyme pattern revealed that all the somatic hybrids were different from each other. Furthermore four chromosomes of each genome could undergo homoeologous pairing at meiosis indicating the possibilities for genetic recombination and chromosomal rearrangements. Irregular distribution of chromosomes at anaphase-II at meiosis has been a consistent feature of these plants. Eventually, pollen of all the somatic hybrids showed complete infertility preventing the recovery of any selfed seed. Nevertheless, ovule fertility of one somatic hybrid was not totally impaired as it had set some seeds upon backcrossing with the B. juncea parent. The esterase isoenzyme banding pattern of 24 individual progeny plants of this backcross provided evidence for their recombinant nature. It was thus confirmed that a transfer of genetic traits from Diplotaxis harra to B. juncea had indeed taken place. Furthermore, it was conceptualised that a transfer of alien genes through the protoplast-fusion technique is primarily possible in situations where meiotic pairing of the chromosomes of the two participating genomes generates recombinant gametocytes which can pass through subsequent filial generations.

    Notes: Summary The need to transfer genetic traits from Diplotaxis muralis (2n=42) to Brassica juncea (2n=36), a major oil seed crop of the tropical world, was realised. Since the two plant types are sexually incompatible, attempts were made to evolve parasexual hybrids as the result of protoplast fusion. Protoplasts of hypocotyl-derived calli of two cultivars of B. juncea were fused with normal and γ-irradiated mesophyll protoplasts of Diplotaxis muralis. Regeneration of 110 plants from the fused products was successfully achieved. Upon analysis of some of them, we realised that true somatic hybrids and partial somatic hybrids had been generated. Thus the primary goal of evolving intergeneric hybridisation products between these two plant types was fulfilled.

    Notes: Abstract Interactions between15N-labelled fertilizers applied at concentrations representative of the fertilizer microsite and the solubility of the nitrogenous component of soil organic matter were investigated in laboratory experiments. Soil organic N was solubilized in aγ-irradiated soil due to addition of NH3(aq), and the fertilizer-induced loss of unlabelled total N in the extracted soil (ΔTUs) increased with increasing N fertilizer concentration and soil pH. ΔTUs was linearly correlated with ammoniacal-N concentration and the pH of the fertilized soil within the range of 7.5-10 (r = 0.94). Total organic N in the soil extract (OTe) increased rapidly up to day 14 following addition of 2000 mg urea-N kg−1 soil, but was then stable up to day 28. OTe of a range of soils increased from between 5 and 148 to between 15 and 368 mg N kg−1 soil after application of 1045 mg NH3-N kg−1 soil. While up to 25% of the organic N was solubilized by the fertilizer in nine soils, the change in total organic N in the extracts (ΔOTe) of three soils was not significant. The highest ΔOTe of 399 mg N kg−1 soil (35.4% of soil organic N) was measured after application of 2000 mg NH3-N kg−1 soil. pH and ΔOTe decreased in the order of NH3(aq) 〉 urea 〉 di-ammonium phosphate 〉 ammonium sulphate at equivalent rates of N addition. A negative ΔOTe was measured following application of ammonium sulphate. ΔOTe was correlated with the pH of the fertilized soil but not ammoniacal-N concentration for different N fertilizer sources.
