OPTIMIZATION OF CULTURAL CONDITIONS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF L-DOPA (L-3, 4 DIHYDROXY PHENYL ALANINE) FROM L- TYROSINE BY ASPERGILLUS ORYZAE
ABSTRACT:
The present study is concerned with the optimization of different cultural conditions for the production of L-DOPA from L-Tyrosine by surface culture technique. Of the 12 different isolates of Aspergillus oryzae tested, for production of mycelium, strain ISB-9 was found to give maximum yield of L-DOPA (0.34 mg/ml) L-DOPA production was maximum at pH 3.0 of the reaction mixture, 50oC, 50 minutes and 2.5 mg/ml, optimum temperature, time and L- Tyrosine concentration, respectively.

VARIATION IN STEM ANATOMY OF RICE CULTIVARS
ABSTRACT:
Anatomical investigations on 8 cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.), four from each of the traditional (local) and modem (high yielding) cultivars, were carried out to study the variation among the cultivars. The epidermis is single layered having cuticle of varying thickness. The number of hypodermal layer is more in modem cultivars compared to traditional ones. The vascular bundles are of two types, outer (small) and inner (large), in all the cultivars except Madhabshail-boro where additional median (medium) type is present in between outer and inner bundles The number, position and arrangement of vascular bundles vary among the cultivars. The outer vascular bundles are embedded in the hypodermis and found to push outwards forming outgrowth of different shapes in all the cultivars except BR7 and BR3 where the wavy appearance in outer circumference of the stem is present. Some of the inner vascular bundles are attached or nearer to the 11 hypodermis while the rest are away from it. The hollow pith is found to be smaller in modern cultivars compared to traditional ones. The higher number of mechanical tissues (hypodermal cells and inner vascular bundles) in modern cultivars imparts resistance to lodging.

ROLE OF MINERAL IONS IN SALT TOLERANCE OF TWO WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTlVUM L.) CULTIVARS
ABSTRACT:
Effects of NaCI salinity at different growth and developmental stages on ions accumulation in two wheat cultivars were studied in greenhouse conditions. Concentrations of Na + in leaves and roots of Ghods, a salt-sensitive cultivar, were more than that of Boolani, a salt-resistant cultivar. K+ and Ca2+ contents were found to be less under NaCl treatments. This loss increased with increasing salinity and was markedly higher in Ghods than in Boolani There were significant differences between the cultivars with respect to ion absorption and translocation indicating that the cultivars may give genotype dependent responses under salinity stress conditions.

M.N. AL-YEMENI, M.M. AL-FARRAJ AND AHMED AL-FARHAN

ECOLOGICAL STUDIES ON RAWDHAT SYSTEM IN SAUDI ARABIA - II. SOIL SEED BANK OF RAWDHAT KHORIM
ABSTRACT:
The germinable seeds in the seed bank in the uppermost two centimeter layer of the soil of Rawdhat Khorim in the Riyadh region of Central Saudi Arabia was studied using 1250 cm2 soil samples collected in winter season from three line transects. The seed bank composition was determined using germination experiment. Most of the seedlings emerged in the first three weeks. The final number of seedlings ranged from 18 to 1190/m2. The floristic composition of the emerged seedlings consisted of 56 plant species. There was a compositional difference in the emerged seedlings between sites having different soil texture. Biomass of the emerged seedlings ranged from 2.14 to 51.8 g/m2 depending on the seedling density and soil texture.

DISSEMINATION OF SEEDS OF ERYNGIUM PANICULATUM FROM ISOLATED PLANTS. II. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISTANCE OF SEED-TRAPS AND GATHERING CAPACITY
ABSTRACT:
Eryngum paniculatum (Apiaceae-Saniculoideae) is of great importance in the north region of Argentina where it is invading abandoned fields. The studies evaluate the dispersion of the species and present spatial orientation for the collectors of seeds of this species.

DISSEMINATION OF SEEDS OF ERYNGIUM PANICULATUM CA V. ET DOM EX DELAROCHE FROM ISOLATED PLANTS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEED-FRUIT WEIGHT AND DISTANCE OF SEEDLINGS
ABSTRACT:
A experiment was carried out to detennine the relationship between the seed weight and the distance they fall from the mother plant when they disseminate There was an inverse relationship between the number and weight of seed and the distance from the mother plant. Greatest weight were registered between 0.25-0.40 m and there were no seeds further from the mother plant inspite of them being smalll and easy to disseminate.

N.M. PINAR AND E. OYBAK DONMEZ*

POLLEN MORPHOLOGY OF SOME TURKISH ENDEMIC HELICHRYSUM GAERTNER SPECIES (COMPOSITAE)
ABSTRACT:
Pollen morphology of 6 endemic taxa in the genus Helichrysum Gaertner (Compositae) has been investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy. The pollen grains of all the Helichrysum taxa are similar in that they are tricolporate with spines and rugulate ektexine sculpturing. They are spheroidal, prolate-spheroidal or oblate-spheroidal in shape.

ABSTRACT:
Pollen grains of 12 species and 3 varieties of the genus Ebenus L., (Leguminosae: subfamily papilionoideae have been examined using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pollen description of each taxon has been given. Pollen grains of Ebenus L., species examined are radially symmetrical, isopolar, tricolpate, prolate rarely perprolate, Their ornamentations are reticulate. The exine structure are similar, ektexine thicker than endexine. The pollen morphology seems to be very similar to each other.

ESTIMATION OF SELECTION INDICES IN BRASSICA JUNCEA L. AND BRASSICA NAPUS L.
A.S. LARIK AND L.S. RAJPUT

ESTIMATION OF SELECTION INDICES IN BRASSICA JUNCEA L. AND BRASSICA NAPUS L.
ABSTRACT:
Genetic selection indices were studied for six productive traits in two varieties (S-9 and S-95) of Brassica juncea and four varieties (Canola-l,II,III and Canola standard) of B. napus. Correlation analysis indicated that seed yield/plant had strong positive association with plant height, branches/plant, siliqua/ plant, seeds/siliqua and dry matter yield/plant. Path analysis and selection indices also confirmed that all the traits contributed significantly towards seed yield/plant. The direct and indirect effects were found to be regulating the character association in all the traits. Magnitude of genetic and phenotypic variance ranged between 0.555 (seed yield/plant) to 960.63 (siliqua/plant), respectively. Heritability (b.s) showed high estimates (ranging from 97.70% to 60.24%) for all the traits, indicating the involvement of additive gene action. Dry matter yield/plant, seeds/siliqua and plant height exhibited low genetic advance irrespective of their high heritability estimates, probably due to non-additive gene (dominance and epistasis) effects. On the basis of selection indices, it is concluded that branches/plant and siliqua/plant are the most important yield components, therefore, selection based on these traits could be exploited for the improvement of yeild in present genotypes.
