...707 x un 44052 was short statured (155.59 cm) with desirable ear height of 62.93 cm. However, maximum leaf area produced by hybrid DK x Hs in both locations with averages 768.56, 670.26 and 719.42 cm2, respectively, while hybrid sangaria recorded maximum value for 300 grains weight 68.16 g and the hybrid IK 8 x zp-707 showed highest rows ear- 1 at both locations and their averages reached 19.33, 17.33 and 18.33, and the same hybrid produced highest yield plant...

...ross, bold seeded, small stature and susceptible to Mungbean Yellow Mosac Virus (MYMV) and NM-92 (a promising variety of Pakistan, bold seeded, high yielding and MYMV resistant) at Agricultural Research Institute, Dera Ismail Khan. Inqalab Mung was tested in various experiments for production technology and yield trials for its performance. Result showed that 40 kg ha^-1 seed rate with 30 cm row spacing, fertilizer dose @ 20:50 kg ha^-1

A Recurrent Mutation in CTSK Gene is Responsible for Autosomal Recessive Pycnodysostosis in Consanguineous Pakistani Families

Mehran Kausar^1,2, Naveed Ashraf³, Farzana Hayat⁴, Asraf Hussain Hashmi¹, Saima Siddiqi^1,* and Mariam Anees²

...quently leading to short stature, increased bone density, recurrent fractures, stubby hands and feet with dystrophic nails, unossified fontanels, and an obtuse mandibular. The present study was conducted to determine the underlying genetic cause of Pycnodysostosis in a family from Azad Kashmir, Pakistan presenting with symptoms of multiple recurrent fractures, short stature, increased bone density and stubby hands. We perfor...

Genetic Analysis of Important Morphological Traits Using Diallel Analysis in Wheat

Mian Ahmad Raza^*, Ghulam Hassan and Naqib Ullah Khan

...or maturity trait, plant stature, spike length, spikelet spike-1 and grains spike-1. Negative intercept of regression line indicated the major role of over-dominance in the inheritance of plant height, spikelets spike-1while for grains spike-1 the positive intercept of regression line indicated predominance of partial dominance in inheritance.F1 cross combination FS × JNB were observed as good specific combiners for spike length, while hybrids FS ×...

A Missense Mutation in COL10A1 Gene in a Pakistani Consanguineous Family with Schmid Type Metaphyseal Chondrodysplasia

Saima Mustafa¹, Firdous Bukhari¹, Muhammad Nazar Aftab¹, Muhammad Asif¹, Muhammad Amjad¹, Maryam Ijaz¹, Muhammad Latif² and Furhan Iqbal¹*

...s characterized by short stature, waddling gait, coxa vara and bowing of the long bones. A large family from Southern Punjab in Pakistan suffering from MCDS following autosomal dominant mode of inheritance were enrolled in present study. Whole exome sequencing (WES) approach was adopted to identify causative agent of dwarfism that reveled a previously reported a missense mutation (c.2011 A > G, p.Ser 671Pro) in exon 3 of COL10A1 gene. S...

... 5.23 grams. Its average stature is 157-171 cm and possesses tolerance against aphids and diseases especially Alternaria blight and White rust. It yielded the highest (2891 kg ha-1) at the NPK@ 80:40:40 level. The optimum yield was produced (1976 kg ha-1) when sown on 30th September. Its cultivation on a commercial scale will enhance the share of local edible oil production and will strengthen the national economy.
