Assessment of somaclonal variation and stability in in vitro regenerated grass pea plants using SDS-PAGE
No full textTissue culture may be one of the possible sources of variation for crop improvement. To assess
variation and stability in regenerated plants, shoots were regenerated from the callus derived from
axillary explants of 11 grasspea genotypes, and their shoot protein profiles were compared with
those of seed cultured plants. The highest response of callus induction (87%) was observed when 2.0
mg/l2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D) and 0.25 mg/l BAP were supplemented in Murashige
and Skoog’s (MS) medium. -naphthaleneacetic acid(NAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine(BAP) showed
variable redifferentiation response along with callus formation. The MS medium supplemented with
0.5 mg/l BAP showed better multiplication and elongation of shoots.Sodium dodecyl sulphate
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis showed a unique protein band of 43 kDa in
both tissue and seed cultured plants of Pusa 24. Polypeptide banding pattern of regenerated plants
from 11 grasspea genotypes did not deviate from the banding pattern of parental seed protein.
Similarity coefficient values ranged from 0.37 to 0.85 with a mean of 0.43 among the 55 genotypic
combinations. Comparison of protein bands between calli raised regenerated shoots and parental
seeds revealed the absence of somaclonal variation in regenerated plants, suggesting that the
regeneration protocol used in the present study can be used for genomics enabled improvement in
grasspea without the risk of additional variation or instability

Chlorine leak on Mumbai port trust′s Sewri yard: A case study
No full textChemical emergencies involving hazardous chemicals are not uncommon in India. More than 25 incidents have been identified in National Disaster Management Guidelines - Chemical (Industrial) Disaster Management, released in May 2007. In a recent occurrence on the morning of 14 July 2010, nearly at 3:00 a.m., chlorine leak was reported from a gas cylinder referred as turner, weighing about 650 kg, corroding with time at the Haji Bunder hazardous cargo warehouse in Mumbai Port Trust, Sewri, affecting over 120 people in the neighborhood, including students, laborers, port workers and fire fighters, of whom 70 were reported critical. It has been observed to be a blatant case of ignorance and negligence as well as contraventions to the safety and environmental safeguard requirements under existing statues as well as non-maintenance of failsafe conditions at the site requisite for chlorine storage. The analysis revealed significant gaps in the availability of neutralization mechanism and the chlorine stored in open increased the possibility of formation of ingress mixture due to busting of chlorine filled tankers. The Government of India has institutionalized emergency preparedness framework at national, state and district level as envisaged in Disaster Management Act, 2005, to prepare the nation to mitigate such incidences, if all the preventive safety provisions fail. Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) is preparing National Action Plan-Chemical (Industrial) Disaster Management based on National Guidelines to implement all the mechanisms of capacity development across the country

Energy from waste in the Global South and its role in achieving net zero
No full textRecovering value from municipal wastes is becoming common practice in the Global North where legislation restricts landfills. Energy is recovered by combustion in energy from waste facilities (C-EfW) and anaerobic digestion (AD) is used to produce biogas from organic wastes. Some AD is carried out in the Global South, but C-EfW is generally not used. This is due to the high cost and the need for a well-established waste collection infrastructure. An assessment of data on waste composition has demonstrated that, in many countries in the Global South, household waste would not be suitable for C-EfW owing to its high moisture and low heat contents. A carbon footprint calculation shows that, if the waste is suitable for combustion, C-EfW results in the lowest carbon footprint. Where the mixed waste is not suitable for C-EfW, AD is the best option. How the non-digestible waste should be managed depends on its compositio
Study of differences in presentation, risk factors and management in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome
No full textObjectives: To compare clinical characteristics, treatment, and utilization of evidence-based medicines at discharge from hospital in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with or without diabetes at a tertiary care cardiac center in India. Methods: We performed an observational study in consecutive patients discharged following management of ACS. We obtained demographic details, comorbid conditions, and cardiovascular risk factors, physical and biochemical parameters, and management. Descriptive statistics are reported. Results: We enrolled 100 patients (diabetics = 28) with mean age of 59.0 ± 10.8 years (diabetics 59.3 ± 11.6, nondiabetics 58.9 ± 8.5). Forty-nine patients had ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (diabetics = 14, 28.7%) while 51 had nonSTEMI/unstable angina (diabetics = 14, 27.4%) (P = nonsignificant). Among diabetics versus nondiabetics there was greater prevalence (%) of hypertension (78.6% vs. 44.4%), obesity (25.0% vs. 8.3%), abdominal obesity (85.7% vs. 69.4%) and sedentary activity (89.2% vs. 77.8%), and lower prevalence of smoking/tobacco use (10.7% vs. 25.0%) (P < 0.05). In STEMI patients 28 (57.1%) were thrombolysed (diabetes 17.8% vs. 31.9%), percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) was in 67.8% diabetics versus 84.7% nondiabetics and coronary bypass surgery in 21.4% versus 8.3%. At discharge, in diabetics versus nondiabetics, there was similar use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (67.9% vs. 69.4%) and statins (100.0% vs. 98.6%) while use of dual antiplatelet therapy (85.7% vs. 95.8%) and beta-blockers (64.3% vs. 73.6%) was lower (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Diabetic patients with ACS have greater prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors (obesity, abdominal obesity, and hypertension) as compared to nondiabetic patients. Less diabetic patients undergo PCIs and receive lesser dual anti-platelet therapy and beta-blockers
Association of low educational status with microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes: Jaipur diabetes registry-1
No full textObjective: To determine the association of educational status (ES), as a marker of socioeconomic status, with the prevalence of microvascular complications in diabetes. Methods: Successive patients (n = 1214) presenting to our centre were evaluated for sociodemographic, anthropometric, clinical, and therapeutic variables. Subjects were classified according to ES into Group 1 (illiterate, 216); Group 2 (8.0%) was significantly greater in illiterate (38.0%), low (46.0%) and middle (41.0%) compared to high (31.5%) ES subjects (P < 0.05). Conclusions: There is a greater prevalence of the microvascular disease in illiterate and low ES diabetes patients in India. This is associated with the higher prevalence of smoking/tobacco use, poor quality diet and sub-optimal diabetes control

Microvascular disease was significantly greater in illiterate (25.9%) and low (23.6%) compared to middle (15.0%) and high (14.7%) ES groups (P .0%) was significantly greater in illiterate (38.0%), low (46.0%), and middle (41.0%) compared to high (31.5%) ES subjects (P < 0.05). Conclusions: There is a greater prevalence of the microvascular disease in illiterate and low ES diabetes patients in India. This is associated with the higher prevalence of smoking/tobacco use, poor quality diet, and sub-optimal diabetes control
Comparative Study of Heavy Metal Toxicity on Chlorophyll and Carotenoid Levels in Vigna radiata L. Seedlings
No full textRapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in the contamination of natural resources, particularly water bodies and agricultural soils. This pollution has severely disrupted ecological balance and agricultural productivity, posing a serious threat to global food security. Among the various pollutants, heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni) are of particular concern due to their high toxicity, persistence in the environment, and tendency to accumulate in plant tissues. This study examines the effects of these heavy metals on the photosynthetic pigments of Vigna radiata L. (mung bean) seedlings, a nutritionally important legume crop. Seedlings were exposed to different concentrations of Cd, Pb, and Ni, and their total chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were measured. The results showed that all three heavy metals significantly reduced pigment levels, with the degree of reduction increasing alongside concentration. At 1000 ppm, cadmium caused the greatest decline in both chlorophyll and carotenoid levels, followed by lead and then nickel, establishing a toxicity order of Cd > Pb > Ni. The substantial decrease in photosynthetic pigments indicates impaired photosynthetic activity, leading to reduced plant growth and productivity. These findings underscore the urgent need for effective monitoring and management of heavy metal pollution to safeguard agricultural systems and promote sustainable food production
