Scanning Electron Microscopy Investigation of Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Line Rice : Exploring Treatment Effects on Plant Components and their Impact on Hybrid Rice Seed Production

In addressing the challenge of inflorescence emergence in cytoplasmic male sterile line (CMS) rice, specifically the CMS A-line, GA3 has conventionally been utilized. However, the high cost of GA3 poses financial constraints for middle-class and marginal farmers. This study aims to identify cost-effective alternatives to GA3 for CMS breeding. Utilizing IR58025A as the A-line and KMR3 as the R-line, obtained from Rice Research Station, Chinsurah, Hooghly, the experiment was conducted following CMS breeding layout design at the Crop Research Farm under the Department of Botany, the University of Burdwan. Various chemicals, including GA3 , penicillin, sulfonamide, and gentamicin, were applied as foliar spray treatments, alongside a control group, during flowering to produce F1 seeds from the A-line in the boro season. The primary objectives include exploring microfeatures of different plant organs such as leaves, stems, androecium, and gynoecium through SEM analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the diverse treatments. This research contributes valuable insights for rice breeders and the scientific community, offering potential alternatives to GA3 in CMS breeding technology.

Effect of iron supplementation on physical and physiological variables of active females

Introduction: This study investigates the impact of iron supplementation on physiological and physical variables among active female students. Iron is essential for oxygen transport and is routinely depleted among iron runners due to exercise intensity. Considering the complicated relationship between exercise intensity, participants’ current health status, eating habits, and normal iron levels, this study seeks to illuminate whether iron supplementation benefits female athletes recruited among students from Burdwan University’s M.P.Ed. Department. Materials and Methods: This study targets a population of 10 female students aged between 22 and 27 years. Participants were selected on the basis of the homogeneity of their age, height, and weight. The study design was conducted as pretest/posttest research. Participants were provided with iron supplements, Punarnaba Moondur, with 250 mg of iron to be taken twice a day with honey and fed as specified. Hemoglobin level and various physiological and physical test parameters were chosen as primary outcomes. Using a t-test setting, P = 0.05, the difference between pre- and postparameters was analyzed. Results: Analysis indicates significant positive variations in postintervention hemoglobin level results in relation to preintervention results. Thus, the iron level was successfully increased. Comparably, various physiological functions and physical fitness parameters were improved among the participants: Their muscles worked more efficiently, and physical capabilities were generally enhanced. Conclusion: The use of Punarnaba Moondur as an iron supplement significantly increased the amount of hemoglobin among the active students. This development led to improved physiological and physical capacity. Parametric supplementation can be used to correct exercise-induced iron deficiency in female athletes to increase exercise performance and health outcomes. This study highlights the value of attenuation nutrition as an intervention tool against exercise-induced iron depletion.

Time series analysis of groundwater quality at selected sites of Purba and Paschim Burdwan, West Bengal, India.

The Water Quality Index (WQI) is used to monitor the health and usability of a water body. In this study, we aimed to construct time series prediction models using groundwater WQI (GW-WQI) at four sites: IISCO-Asansol, Durgapur Town, Burdwan University, and Burdwan Station. While statistical spatio-temporal analysis has been reported earlier, no time series analysis of the data or predictive modelling has been done. Pre-monsoon and post-monsoon physico-chemical data from 2010 to 2022 were obtained from the West Bengal Pollution Control Board website to calculate the GW-WQI. Prediction modelling was performed using R 4.1.3 software. Best fit forecast models were selected to predict future trends of GW-WQI with 80% of the data. Subsequently, the models were validated using R-squared, root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), maximum absolute percentage error (MAPE), and Thiel's U for the model using 20% of the data. Our results show that GW-WQI was good in pre-monsoon but unfit for drinking in post-monsoon in IISCO-Asansol, Durgapur Town, Burdwan University, and Burdwan Station. Arsenic, fluoride, and mercury were the major contaminants resulting in poor GW-WQI. Seasonal ARIMA was the best model for Burdwan University and IISCO-Asansol, ETSfor Durgapur Station, and BaggedARIMA for Burdwan Station. The forecast model for Durgapur and Burdwan Station predicted a sharp increase until 2027 but was fluctuating for IISCO-Asansol and Burdwan University. Thus, GW-WQI is a major problem in the industrial belt of West Bengal that is likely to remain high or worsen in the future.

Assessing Burdwan University Library Resources and Services by Postgraduate Students: A Study

The survey highlights that students of university regularly visit libraries to borrow books. Most university libraries have sufficient infrastructure like layout, lighting, ventilation, and clean premises. They have an easily accessible location as well. In university libraries, there is mostly a collection of textbooks but inadequate journals/magazines for students. Moreover, open access to documents and electronic information resources is available only in a few departments. The study reveals that university libraries should improve services, like computers, documents, provision of internet browsing, reprography services, proper display of documents, reading tables, chairs, etc. The major problems identified were, the less number of computers in the library and the internet in libraries, short library hours, and lack of user orientation.

The primary goal of this research is to examine and compare the overall quality of higher education institutions' results. In terms of research methodology, it falls under the category of descriptive comparative status studies. In the state of West Bengal, 218 colleges affiliated with seven universities were purposefully chosen as samples. The data is analysed using qualitative statistical methods such as percentages and graphical representations. It was discovered that 43.26 percent of colleges received a B score. It's also worth noting that 1.08 percent and 3.57 percent of colleges affiliated with Calcutta University and Vidyasagar University, respectively, have earned A++ and A+ accreditation. On the one hand, colleges affiliated with four universities (Burdwan University, North Bengal University, West Bengal State University, and Kalyani University) have received A, B++, B+, B to C grades, while colleges affiliated with two universities (Calcutta University and Vidyasagar University) have received A++, A+, A, B++, B+, B to C grades. As a result of the results, it is possible to infer that many colleges' success levels in terms of quality are not up to par.

Attitude, Awareness and Barriers in Research: A Study on the Post-Graduate Students and Research Scholars in West Bengal

The purpose of the present study was to examine the attitude, awareness and barriers in research on the Post-Graduate (PG) Students and Research Scholars under the universities in West Bengal. The researchers have adopted the descriptive research method and its approach is quantitative for measuring the attitude, awareness and barriers in research. In keeping the variables (Gender, Locality, and Stream) in mind, 150 Post Graduate Students and 140 Research Scholars were selected as sample from the University of Calcutta, University of Kalyani and University of Burdwan in West Bengal. An Attitude Scale based on Likert’s 5-point scale (Bi-polar on 40 items) was developed and used by investigators for measuring their attitude towards research. For the awareness about research methodology, an Awareness Scale based on Likert’s 4-point scale containing 30 items was developed. To explore the barriers to doing research, researchers developed 10 Statements with the help of experts and it’s a tri-polar scaling method indicating ‘Yes’, ‘No’ and ‘Can’t say’. The result indicated that the Post-Graduate Students and Research Scholars differed significantly in their attitude towards research. The Post-Graduate Students showed a more positive attitude towards Research than the Research Scholars. The Research Scholars belonging to the social science & humanities and science stream showed significant difference in their awareness about research methodology. Despite having self-interest in research (70%) among the research scholars, the barriers to conducting research faced by them markedly included barriers related to institutional affairs (65.7%), lack of research funding (75%), inadequate research facilities (69.2%), lack of research skills and knowledge (59.2%), lack of professional supervisors (77.1%), difficulty in collecting reliable and valid data (80%) and uncertainty of employment (67.8%).

Isolation of an endophytic fungus Colletotrichum sp. and study of its plant growth promoting traits

Some fungi grow within plant parts and live as endosymbiont without causing apparent disease and enhance host growth, carrying defense response, nutrient acquisition, decrease biotic and abiotic stress, used as biofertilizer, also great role in medicine industry, known as endophytic fungi. Here five different fungi strains have been isolated from different plant parts of Plumbago zeylanica Linn. from the Departmental garden of Botany department of Burdwan university. These fungi strains show different plant growth traits like IAA production, Nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, production of ammonia, polysaccharide, HCN, organic acid. These strains also can tolerate from different concentrations of salt. Among all fungal strains SL4 was identified as Colletotrichum sp. by 18S rRNA gene sequencing and gave the best result in most of the PGP traits of the fungal strains. Considering all these properties, SL4 strain can be used in agricultural field for cultivation of crops or in different nurseries as phytostimulator as well as biofertilizer.

Vermicompost and cow dung admixture increases rhizosphere bacterial population and promotes rapid physiological maturity in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Incessant application of chemical fertilizers to the agricultural fields may alter the composition and activities of soil microbiota. Thus, the shift of cultivation practices from chemical to organic is considered to be the need of the hour in order to maintain soil health. A study was conducted in the agricultural fields of the University of Burdwan, India to observe the impact of organic manure on rhizosphere bacterial community. The experiments were conducted on maize plants, supplemented with the recommended dose of chemical fertilizer and organic manure (vermicompost and cow dung mixture). Corresponding changes in the plant phenological events and soil health in terms of soil physico-chemical factors and rhizosphere bacterial groups up to the level of CFU g-1× 105 dry soil were noted.The results showed a significant increase in population of nitrifying bacteria, asymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria and protein hydrolysing bacteria in the organically treated plots. Moreover, the organic manure increases the bacterial population of rhizosphere, which in turn has a positive impact on maize growth and yield. The growth of the three groups of bacteria was attributed to the type of organic manure supplied to the agricultural fields.In addition, strong correlation was observed between Zn and protein hydrolysing bacteria. The soil organic carbon and available nitrogen were strongly correlated with nitrifying, fat solubilizing and phosphate solubilizing groups of bacteria.

Effect of Glomus fasciculatum On Nutrient Uptake and Growth of a Medicinal Plant, Coleus forskohlii

Aims: Coleus forskohlii Briq. (syn. Coleus barbatus Benth.) belonging to the family Lamiaceae is a well known plant throughout the country and known as ‘pashanbhedi’ in Sanskrit and ‘pathatchur’ in Hindi is one of the most potential medicinal plants of the future, as its pharmacoproperties have been discovered only recently. Its tuberous roots are found to be rich source of forskolin which is being used as a remedy for hypertension, glaucoma, asthma, congestive heart failures and certain types of cancers and also being use as vegetables. In addition, forskolin is reported to have used in the preparation of medicines for controlling body weight, preventing hair greying and restoring normal colour of grey hairs. Its foliage is also employed in treating intestinal disorders and used as a condiment since a long time. Keeping the above views in mind, the present investigation was undertaken to study the influence of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, G. fasciculatum on phosphorus uptake and growth of Coleus forskohlii.
 Study Design: Various tests or experiments were done in this study. Total leaf tissue phosphorus content was determined following the Microkjeldhal method of Jackson (1973) and chlorophyll estimation was done following the method of Mahadevan and Sridhar (1982) .Root colonization of C. forskohlii by G. fasciculatum was observed by the ‘Rapid clearing and staining technique’ (Phillips & Hayman, 1970). Forskolin content in C. forskohlii tubers was estimated by High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
 Place and Duration of Study: Sample: The experiment was carried out in the Department of Botany, Burdwan University. A soil culture of Glomus fasciculatum was propagated as endomycorrhizal species in Zea mays as suitable host in pot culture using sterile sand and soil (pH 5.6; organic carbon 0.6%, P content 45 ppm) in 1:1 ratio. 400 gm of rhizosphere soil with AM-inoculated root fragments of Zea mays was introduced in the dry, loamy, fine-textured soil (pH 5.8; organic carbon 0.6%, P content 45 ppm, total nitrogen 0.03%) of pot culture (2.0 kg of soil per pot) at a depth of 2 inches below the Coleus cutting (12-16 cm long comprising 3-4 pairs of leaves) being planted, between June 2011 and July 2012.
 Results: Responses of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Glomus fasciculatum on phosphorus uptake by the plant at different developmental phases have been studied. The result indicates that symbiotic association of mycorrhizal fungus amounts to greater uptake of phosphorus and increased chlorophyll content in AM treated plants than in non mycorrhizal plants which gradually happened to be maintained throughout their developmental stages. Different growth parameters like plant height, root length, no. of roots, no. of leaves, no. of branches, fresh weight of shoot, roots, tubers and forskolin content were significantly higher in AM treated plants than in respective controls.
 Conclusion: The better growth of mycorrhizal plants was attributed to improved nutrient uptake, especially phosphorus. The result suggested that G. fasciculatum is one of the most potentially effective bio-fertilizer of Coleus forskohlii.

Analysis of signal strength, satellite visibility, position accuracy and ionospheric TEC estimation of IRNSS

The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) is an indigenously developed satellite navigation system to meet practical needs. The system, comprising a constellation of seven satellites in GEO orbit, has been fully operational since 2018. It is essential to evaluate the performance of the IRNSS continuously for various applications. As a part of ISRO field trial and data collection program an IRNSS Standard Positioning Service User Receiver (UR) placed at ACS College of Engineering (ACSCE), Bangalore, for independent field trial and data collection. The receiver is operational on a $24\times 7$ basis. A MATLAB Graphical User Interface has been developed to analyze and plot the data variation of signal strength, elevation angle, visibility of satellites, user position, position error, geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) and find the availability of the number of satellites plotted for every second based on the received data. From the results, it is observed that the signal strength (C/No) is good, i.e. above 40 dBHz, visibility of satellites at receiver location is good. The mean position at user location is found to be $X=1349700~\mbox{m}$, $Y = 6070902~\mbox{m}$, $Z = 1413860~\mbox{m}$ and latitude of 12.8914 degree, longitude of 77.465 degree and altitude of 739 m. The mean position from IRNSS is compared with Google map results showing a good match. The geometry distance of receiver location with respect to Earth center is estimated and observed. The RMS of position error for L1, L5 and dual frequency (L5+S) at ACSCE, Bangalore, is 9.7444 m, 6.6873 m and 5.6667 m, respectively. Hence, as expected the dual-frequency (L5+S) receiver gives an accurate position rather than the single-frequency signals. The IRNSS TEC is measured using Ionospheric group delay and the pseudo-range of L5 and S band which is collected from ACSCE receiver. A third order Savitzky-Golay-Filtered technique is used for TEC smoothing. RMSE between IRNSS TEC from pseudo-range and GPS TEC is 0.6482 TECU and the correlation coefficient is 0.9981. RMSE between IRNSS TEC from ionospheric delay of L5/S and GPS TEC is 1.971 TECU and the correlation coefficient is 0.9966. Finally, smoothed TEC values derived from pseudo-range measurements give a good result and can be used to generate daily TEC maps. In order to analyze the performance of IRNSS over the Indian region, we have chosen three other receiver stations located at Osmania University (Hyderabad), University of Burdwan (Bardhaman, West Bengal) and Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (Katra, Jammu and Kashmir). Based on the results, we conclude that the IRNSS constellation is performing well and providing good signals for accurate user position determination and ionospheric data analysis.
