    Notes: Textural relations, thermobarometry and petrogenetic grid considerations in the syn-tectonic granitoid massif and the enveloping metasedimentary gneisses at Salur are consistent with a counter-clockwise P–T –t path for the rocks. The low-P/high-T  prograde sector is documented by the pre- to syn-D1 cordierite±orthopyroxene±garnet±spinel–bearing metatexite leucosomes in metapelites. Heating and loading of the rocks (syn- to post-D1) resulted in the formation of garnet+orthopyroxene± cordierite-bearing diatexites, and decomposition of cordierite in metatexite leucosomes to orthopyroxene+sillimanite+biotite+quartz symplectites. Near-peak temperature, 850 °C at 8.0 kbar, was reached syn- to post-D2. Post-peak cooling resulted in the stabilization of coronal grossular and anorthite+calcite symplectites at the expense of scapolite+wollastonite+calcite assemblages in calc-silicate gneisses, and the resetting of cation exchange temperatures at 700–750 °C. Near-isothermal decompression at c. 700–750 °C is manifested by the decomposition of garnet porphyroblasts in the granitoid gneisses to plagioclase+orthopyroxene/ilmenite/biotite two-phase coronas and restabilization of cordierite at garnet margins in metapelites. Subsequent low-P, near-isobaric cooling led to the overprinting of granulite facies assemblages by muscovite+calcite assemblages, and further resetting of cation exchange thermometers to lower temperatures c. 600 °C. The tectonothermal evolution of the Salur gneiss complex vis-a-vis the Eastern Ghats Belt is therefore consistent with high degrees of lower crustal melting, followed by prograde heating of the cover rocks due to magma invasion synchronous with crustal compression, and finally thermal relaxation over a protracted period punctuated by tectonic/erosional denudation of the thickened crust.

    Notes: ‘Polima’ cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) was transferred to three different genotypes of B. napus i.e. GSL-1, ISN706 and HNS-8 by repeated backcrossing and was found to be completely stable in the nuclear background of synthetic B. napus genotype, ISN706, derived from a cross B. campestris ssp. oleifera var. brown sarson ×B. oleracea var. botrytis cv. Tusa Katki'. The BC5 and BC6 generation lines of ISN706, GSL-1 and HNS-8 with ‘Polima’ CMS were grown under a range of temperature and photo-period conditions to test their stability. No breakdown in sterility was observed in ‘Polima’ ISN706 and, therefore, this genotype can be used as a maintainer for hybrid seed production.

    Notes: The objective of this study was to broaden the genetic base in oleiferous Brassica juncea by resynthesis, using 10 diverse parental lines of oleiferous B. rapa and two lines of B. nigra of both Indian and exotic origin. Out of 14 crosses attempted using B. rapa as the female parent, eight were successful. Embryo rescue was necessary to obtain interspecific plants. A total of 29 fertile interspecific plants were obtained after colchicine treatment. In the S2 generation, the expression of component characters in the majority of the resynthesized plants showed a negative trend. The resynthesized B. juncea lines are being maintained through repeated selfing and selection at each generation for desirable plant types. This process will continue till the progeny lines of the desirable plants achieve uniformity.

    Notes: ‘Polima’ cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) was transferred from ‘Polima’ Brassica napus ‘ISN 706’to five different cultivars of Brassica campestris (‘Pusa kalyani’, ‘Pant toria’, ‘Candle’, ‘Tobin’ and ‘ATC 94211′) by repeated backcrossing. It was observed that, while ‘Polima’ CMS manifested complete and stable male sterility in the nuclear backgrounds of ‘Pusa kalyani’, ‘Pant toria’, and ‘Tobin’, the cultivars ‘Candle’ and ‘ATC 94211’possessed the restorer gene for this CMS in the heterozygous condition. An analysis of F1 and F2 generations of ‘Polima’‘Pusa kalyani’בCandle’ and ‘Polima’‘Pusa kalyani’בATC 94211’ revealed that restoration is controlled by a single dominant gene. Identification of stable maintainers and restorers of ‘Polima’ CMS could facilitate the development of hybrid varieties in B. campestris.

    Notes: Analysis of the glucosinolate content and composition by high-pressure liquid chromatography indicated that varieties of Brassica juncea bred and grown in India have a high glucosinolate content characterized by the presence of 2-propenyl (allyl) and 3-butenyl as the major and 4-pentenyl as the minor fractions. In contrast, the B. juncea germplasm from other countries is characterized by the presence of 2-propenyl as the major glucosinolate fraction, trace amounts of 3-butenyl and a total lack of the 4-pentenyl types. In order to transfer the low glucosinolate trait to Indian B. juncea, the inheritance of total glucosinolates was investigated using doubled haploid (DH) populations derived from F1 (DH1) and BC1 (BC1DH) of a cross between ‘Varuna’ (the most widely cultivated high glucosinolate variety of India) and ‘Heera’ (a non-allyl type low glucosinolate line). A total of 752 DH1 and 1263 BC1DH gave rise to seven and 11 low glucosinolate (containing less than 18 μmol/g seed) individuals, respectively. On the basis of the frequency of the low glucosinolate individuals, the total glucosinolate was found to be under the control of seven genes. There was presence of both allyl and non-allyl types in DH1 and BC1DH low-glucosinolate individuals and absence of 3-butenyl glucosinolate in some of the BC1DH low glucosinolate individuals, indicating segregation for these fractions in the population. The size of the segregating DH population proved to be crucial for precise determination of the number of genes controlling the trait. Because of the large number of genes involved, incorporation of low glucosinolate trait in Indian B. juncea should be approached through doubled haploid (DH) breeding.

    Notes: Brassica carinata (BBCC), a potential oilseed crop for dry land agriculture, is sensitive to high temperatures during germination and early stages of growth, which thereby restricts the possibility of using the residual soil moisture available after the rainy season for its cultivation. To overcome this problem, a three-genome hybrid, RCBB, was synthesized using Raphanus sativus (RR) and Brassica oleracea (CC) as donor sources for the desired heat tolerance. Protoplasts of RC hybrids obtained through sexual crosses between R. sativus (female) and B. oleracea (male) were fused with protoplasts of Brassica nigra (BB) to produce RCBB somatic hybrids. The hybrid colonies regenerated with an average frequency of 7.6%. Twelve out of 36 hybrids grown to maturity were characterized for their nuclear and organelle genomes. While all the hybrids showed the presence of B. nigra chloroplasts, 10 of the hybrids showed B. nigra-specific mitochondria and two had Raphanus-spedfic mitochondria. The somatic hybrids could be backcrossed to B. carinata.

    Notes: Eighteen genotypes of Brassica napus were crossed to a cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) line of B. napus BO 15 carrying B. tournefortii cytoplasm (‘tour’ cytoplasm). Fourteen genotypes were found to be stable maintainers of the ‘tour’ CMS. Of the remaining four genotypes, GSL-1 and ‘Asahi-natane’ were found to be heterozygous and ‘Mangun’ and ‘Yudal’ were homozygous for the restorer gene. Analysis of the F1 and F2 progenies of (CMS) BO 15 בMangun’ and (CMS) BO 15 בYudal’ showed that fertility restoration is controlled by a single dominant gene. The availability of a number of stable maintainer lines and the simple inheritance pattern of fertility restorer gene makes ‘tour’ CMS a useful system for hybrid seed production in rapeseed.

    Notes: The residential areas of Kuwait City have been affected by a rise in the subsurface-water level in recent years, causing waterlogging and flooding of the basements of buildings. To study this phenomenon, and to ascertain its causes, a numerical aquifer simulation model was developed. The aquifer model showed that, over the period 1961-1985, the net yearly addition to the aquifer storage due to the contribution from man-made sources like sewage systems, irrigation, and water distribution networks, ranged from 8,300 to 10,100 m3 d−1, causing a subsurface-water-level rise of about 5 m locally, resulting in high water-table conditions. A maximum local rise in the water table of 2.5 m was predicted between the end of 1985 and 1990, if no remedial actions are undertaken. Preventive methods to reduce or eliminate recharge from man-made activities would help control the water-level rise and even lower the water table in affected areas. Remedial measures to lower and maintain the subsurface-water level at acceptable depths would entail the withdrawal of significant quantities of ground water.

    Notes: Summary.  Haemophilia B is an X-linked recessively inherited bleeding disorder caused by heterogeneous mutations spanning the entire factor IX gene. As spontaneous germ-line mutations are known to occur mostly at CpG dinucleotides in the FIX gene, control of the disease would require continuous carrier detection and mutation screening. Identification of point mutations, the most common type of mutation in FIX gene, is more challenging compared with deletion and insertion mutations. We examined the haemophilia B database to identify specific nucleotides in the FIX gene that are mutated in relatively large number of patients and the variability (if any) in the mutational hotspots at CpG dinucleotides. It was found that while mutations responsible to account for all 2348 haemophilia B patients covered 20% of the FIX cDNA, only 1% of the cDNA involving mostly CpG dinucleotides accounted for mutation in 42.41% of the patient pool. Thus, only 27 nucleotides need to be investigated to identify the common point mutations, among which 15 are predicted to undergo change in restriction sites on mutation. It is interesting to note that seven nucleotides occurring in CpG dinucleotides do not have any reported mutation despite each of those being predicted to harbour mutation as a result of transition and having mutations recorded in the database for the neighbouring nucleotides. Strikingly large number of mutation in codon 296 causing T to M change in catalytic domain originally proposed to be the result of the founder effect also contains largest number of haplotype suggesting recurrence of de novo mutation.
