    Notes: Rainbow trout were fed for 10 weeks with a nutritionally balanced diet containing 30% by weight of activated sewage sludge. The whole body concentrations of nine heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb), together with four major cations (Ca, Mg, Na, K) were determined at the beginning and end of the experiment and at three intermediate stages. Fish fed on the diet containing sewage sludge had significantly elevated levels of Cr, Fe, Ni, Pb and reduced levels of Na and K compared with controls, though the values obtained for all groups fell within the range reported for uncontaminated fish. The Ni and Zn showed a marked increase towards the end of the experiment, suggesting that they might have continued to rise after 70 days.

    Notes: Summary Protein, total free amino acid and RNA accumulated in the silk gland of eri-silkworm decrease drastically within 2–4 days of spinning. In contrast, the fatbody presents an augmentation of total protein concentration towards the end of the spinning process. The hemolymph maintains constancy of these molecules with little variation.

    Notes: Summary In an earlier study, it was reported that clusters of ectopic neurons developed postnatally in the hippocampus of rats which were exposed to Methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAMac) during fetal development (Singh, 1977b). This paper describes the perforant tract and commissural connections of hippocampal eutopic and ectopic neurons. These connections were traced with a reduced-silver method (Eager, 1970). Two observations of significance were made. (i) Ectopic neurons misplaced in stratum radiatum received terminals from axons in the perforant tract. The upper boundary for these redirected fibers was stratum pyramidale — approximately 350 μ outside the normal boundary which is situated near the hippocampal fissure. (ii) Ecotopic neurons received a dramatically reduced commissured projection, compared with eutopic pyramidal neurons in Ammon's horn. Eutopic neurons in the hippocampus were found to receive afferent perforant tract and commissural fibers in the same way — i.e., density and distribution, as in control rats.

    Notes: Summary The effects of time and various doses of testosterone on the responsiveness of lactate dehydrogenase of pituitary of 7-, 38- and 78-week-old rats were studied. The activity of the enzyme increases in 78-week-old rats. Castration decreases the enzyme activity at all ages. Maximum increase in the enzyme activity is seen with 50 and 100 μg of testosterone 4 h after administration of hormone to castrated rats. No further time and dose-dependent effect is observed. The magnitude of increase for the enzyme is higher at the age of 38 weeks and decreases in 78-week-old rats.

    Notes: Summary The genetic basis of seed setting was evaluated in seven clones of alfalfa selected under predominantly self-pollinating conditions. They were hand crossed in all possible combinations. Their compatibility was studied by the percentage of flowers forming pods and number of seeds per pod during crossing. The variances for GCA, SCA and reciprocal effects were significant for percentage of pod set with a narrow sense héritability of 64 %. This suggested maternal influence of clones on percent pod set, controlled primarily by additive genetic components. GCA was the only significant component for number of seeds per pod with a narrow sense heritability of 71%. There were wide differences between the clones in their relative magnitude of GCA, SCA and reciprocal effects for both traits used as compatibility indexes. Performance of the diallel crosses was judged by studying seed yield and its related characters, namely seeds per pod, dry matter per plant, frost resistance, plant vigor and plant height. Although GCA and SCA variances were significant for all characters, reciprocal differences in general were absent. The SCA values were very high as compared to GCA. Narrow sense heritability values were very low while broad sense heritability were much higher. This suggested that almost none of the variation was due to additive genetic components and all the variability is controlled by interactions of a digenic, trigenic and quadrigenic nature and heterzozygosity. Heterosis was evaluated by comparing the seed yield of single crosses with their mid-parent and high-parent, and very high values were observed. Thus selection of better genes may not be feasible and further improvement in selected clones may have to be brought about by utilization of various interactions and heterosis. An attempt was made to find combinations of characters that may be used for the selection of seed yield but none were found to be satisfactory.

    Notes: Summary Genetic analysis for germination percentage was carried out in the F3 and F4 generations of a diallel cross involving six promising genotypes of soybean. Results indicated a high amount of genetic variability and a moderately high heritability together with genetic advance, suggesting a possible improvement for this character through hybridization and selection. Correlations at different levels revealed a strong negative association of germination with only one seed character: seed weight. This observation was further confirmed from path coefficient analysis. These findings strongly suggest that to base selection on seed weight which may not influence the seed quality of soybean.

    Notes: Summary Two sets of diallel crosses involving seven tetraploid and five hexaploid alfalfa lines, previously selected for seed and forage yield, are studied. On the basis of combining ability and heritability estimates the following conclusion is drawn. The dominant and epistatic interactions (heterozygosity) are the major components in the expression of variability for yield and characters associated with yield in tetraploid populations. In hexaploid populations, however, there is an appreciable amount of additive variance, and the additive effect of genes along with interaction of various forms may account for the expressed variability for all the characters studied. Better genes and desirable interactions (possibly through heterozygosity) are the two essential genetic components of yield. The selection of better genes is feasible, but by itself will not produce the desired results. Future improvement may therefore depend on the utilization of heterosis and other forms of interactions. There is, in general, a very strong genetic correlation between yield and its components, and therefore, when a direct selection for yield is not feasible, the selection program may rely on a number of closely related characters.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zur Vorhersage zehntägiger Niederschläge für jeden Monsunmonat (Juni bis September) wurden Regressionsgleichungen entwickelt, die für 14 meteorologische Regionen hauptsächlich in West-, Nordwest- und Zentralindien gelten. Als mögliche Prädiktoren wurden fünftägige Mittelwerte der 700 mb-Topographie und deren Anomalien an 104 Netzpunkten zwischen 10° und 45°N, 20° und 145°E, sowie regionale Niederschläge während der vergangenen 24 Stunden ausgesucht. Diese 209 Prädikatoren wurden zunächst durch einen stufenweisen Vorgang und schließlich durch eine geordnete Selektionsmethode nach ihrer Signifikanz sortiert. Verifikation an Hand eines beschränkten Datenmaterials von 12 Fällen zeigte für Juni und September mäßigen Erfolg in der Vorhersage des zehntägigen Niederschlages etlicher Regionen, wobei der Niederschlag in drei Klassen gleicher Wahrscheinlichkeit gruppiert wurde. Die im Laufe dieser Studie entwickelten Regressionsgleichungen sind derzeit noch nicht für den täglichen Gebrauch bestimmt. Weitere Entwicklungsarbeit ist erforderlich, bevor die gesamten Möglichkeiten dieser synoptisch-statistischen Methode ausgeschöpft werden können. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß die 700 mb-Topographie über dem Arabischen Meer und in der Nähe von Japan signifikante negative bzw. positive Korrelationskoeffizienten mit dem zehntägigen Niederschlag für die meisten der betrachteten Regionen während sämtlicher Monsunmonate liefert. Eine Erklärung dieser Zusammenhänge wird in dieser Abhandlung versucht.
    Notes: Summary Linear regression equations are developed for predicting 10-day rainfall in each monsoon month (June through September) of 14 meteorological subdivisions lying mainly in Western, North-Western and Central India. The potential predictors considered are 5-day mean 700 mb level contour heights and their anomalies at 104 grid points covering an area between 10° to 45°N and 20° to 145°E, and past 24 hour rainfall of the subdivision concerned. The 209 predictors are preliminarily screened by stagewise procedure and finally screened by forward selection procedure. The verification conducted on limited data of 12 cases revealed moderate success in June and September in predicting the 10-day rainfall of some subdivisions in 3 equally probable classes. The equations developed in the study are not suitable for operational use. Further work on this line is necessary before full potential of synoptic-statistical methods is realised. It is found that the contour heights over the Arabian sea and near Japan bear respectively significant negative and positive correlation coefficients with the 10-day rainfall of most of the subdivisions considered in all the months. Explanation of these relationships is attempted.
