The work reported here deals with the study of interception/deposition and translocation of ⁸⁵Sr, ¹³¹I, and¹³⁷ Cs in three different types of vegetables i.e. beans (Phasoolus vulgaris), spinach (Spinicia olericia) and radish (Raphanous sative) following redionuclides release to the environment. Activity was injected in the experimental chamber in the form of aerosols having a size distribution of 0.3–1.0 µm (AMAD). Plant samples were collected soon after the injection for the evaluation of interception/deposition factors (IF/DF) for the different parts of the plants, as well as for the whole plant and the washable fraction of the deposited activity and its variation with time. The evaluated IF/DF shows a minimum value of 0.12 m³ kg^-1 for ⁸⁵Sr in case of spinach whole plant and maximum value of 1.93 m³ kg^-1 for ¹³¹I in case of beans whole plant. Translocation factors (TF) have also been evaluated for the activity that migrates from the above soil plant parts to the root and its variation with time. The evaluated TF shows a range of 7.27 × 10^-3 to 136 × 10^-3.  相似文献   

Comparison of Fecal Coliform Before and After Wastewater Treatment Facility: a Case Study near a Coastal Town in the Southeastern USA     

Shirish Bhat  Larry J. Danek 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2012,223(5):1923-1930

A central wastewater treatment facility was built in 1997 for the town of Suwannee that eliminated 850 inadequately operating on-site sewage treatment and disposal systems. During a study in 1989?C1990, Salmonella were detected in Suwannee River water samples upstream and downstream of the town of Suwannee. This study presents the findings of fecal coliform distribution between the years 1996 and 2009 in canals and the main stem of Suwannee River near the town of Suwannee, a coastal area in southeastern USA. Fecal coliforms were measured and assessed to evaluate the water quality before and after the installation of the central wastewater treatment facility. In the canals nearby the town of Suwannee, significant differences in fecal coliform concentrations were detected between the samples collected before and after the operation of the central wastewater treatment facility. Average fecal coliform of 537 most probable number (MPN)/100?ml in the canals in 1996 was reduced to 218?MPN/100?ml after the operation of wastewater treatment facility. The fecal coliform levels in canals decreased significantly in the last 13?years. Even though the average fecal coliform levels in the river was reduced from 170 to 86?MPN/100?ml before and after the installation of the wastewater treatment facility, respectively, the difference was not statistically significant.  相似文献   

Epidemiology of Parasitoses in Dairy Animals in the North West Humid Himalayan Region of India with Particular Reference to Gastrointestinal Nematodes     

Jithendran  K.P.  Bhat  T.K. 《Tropical animal health and production》1999,31(4):205-214

A systematic survey was conducted during two spells of 5 years each (1986–1990 and 1993–1997) to study the prevalence of parasitoses with particular reference to gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes and flukes in dairy animals (crossbred and native cattle, and buffaloes) belonging to 12 villages in the Kangra valley (Himachal Pradesh). Flukes (Fasciola, amphistomes and Dicrocoelium) and strongyles were the most important parasitic infections. Fasciola was endemic throughout the year, with a higher percentage infection in buffaloes than in cattle. Other fluke and nematode infections showed a seasonal pattern in prevalence, with a small peak in March–April followed by a high peak in July–September. The faecal egg counts (eggs per gram, epg) of flukes (Fasciola/amphistomes) ranged from 50 to 300 in cattle and 50 to 400 in buffaloes, with high loads during the rainy and post-rainy seasons. The GI nematode egg counts (excluding Toxocara) revealed a similar trend, with the overall monthly mean epg ranging from 85 to 1720 in cattle and 90 to 1625 in buffaloes, with a high peak during the months of July to September. On coproculture of positive samples, the nematode infections in order of prevalence were: Strongyloides, Trichostrongylus, Haemonchus, Oesophagostomum, Bunostomum and Mecistocirrus. The prevalence of most of the parasites was lower during the second 5-year period.  相似文献   

Marker‐assisted backcrossing to develop foliar disease‐resistant genotypes in TMV 2 variety of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)          下载免费PDF全文

Rohini M. Kolekar  Mallenahally Sukruth  Kenta Shirasawa  Hajisaheb L. Nadaf  Babu N. Motagi  Sattigarahalli Lingaraju  Prakashgouda V. Patil  Ramesh S. Bhat 《Plant Breeding》2017,136(6):948-953

TMV 2 is a very popular peanut variety among the Indian farmers, but it is highly susceptible to fungal foliar diseases like late leaf spot (LLS) and rust. Marker‐assisted backcrossing (MABC) in TMV 2 using foliar disease‐resistant donor, GPBD 4 and the disease resistance‐linked markers (GM2009, GM2079, GM2301, GM1839 and IPAHM103) resulted in a large number of backcross populations and also straight cross populations. Foreground selection followed by field evaluation under disease epiphytotic conditions could identify a few superior genotypes. Two homozygous backcross lines TMG‐29 and TMG‐46 showed enhanced resistance to LLS and rust diseases (score of 3.00 for both) along with 71.0% and 62.7% increase in the pod yield per plot, respectively, over the check, TMV 2. These foliar disease‐resistant and productive lines can be released as commercial varieties or can be used as genetic resources in the peanut improvement.  相似文献   

Carbon sources affect water quality and haemato‐biochemical responses of Labeo rohita in zero‐water exchange biofloc system     

Irshad Ahmad  Tasok Leya  Neelam Saharan  Babitha Rani Asanaru Majeedkutty  Gaurav Rathore  Adnan Hussain Gora  Irfan Ahmad Bhat  Ajit Kumar Verma 《Aquaculture Research》2019,50(10):2879-2887

Biofloc technology degrades waste into useful resources exploiting microbes and can be used in zero‐water exchange systems. To study the effect of different biofloc systems on haematological and metabolic response of Labeo rohita fingerlings, a 60‐days experiment was conducted using four long lasting carbon sources. Seven hundred and fifty fingerlings having mean weight of 4.80 ± 0.12 g were randomly distributed into 15 tanks (n = 50 per tank). Five experimental groups were set in triplicate; T1 (Tapioca), T2 (Wheat), T3 (Corn) T4 (Sugar bagasse) and control (clear water). In‐situ biofloc was developed in 300 L fibre‐reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks and a C/N ratio of 15 was maintained. Water quality variables indicated ammonia immobilization by heterotrophic bacteria, as the dominant mechanism for the removal of toxic‐nitrogenous compounds in the biofloc systems. Results exhibited significantly higher floc volume (53.33 ± 7.88 ml/L), haemoglobin content (6.61 ± 0.03 g/dl) and total leucocyte count (109.66 ± 0.06 thousand cells/mm³) in tapioca biofloc system. Furthermore, the digestive and anti‐oxidative enzymes activities were also significantly higher in tapioca biofloc system. The lactate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase enzyme assays showed a decreased level in tapioca biofloc system as compared with other biofloc systems and control group. Our observations indicate that tapioca biofloc system could improve the water quality, haematological and anti‐stress responses of L. rohita fingerlings in biofloc systems and thus can effectively replace other carbohydrate sources for the biofloc system.  相似文献

Analysis of population substructure,genetic differentiation and phylogenetic relationships among selected Asiatic <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vigna</Emphasis> Savi species     

Ruchi Vir  K. V. Bhat  S. Lakhanpaul 《Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution》2009,56(6):783-795

Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers were used to study sub-structure and genetic differentiation amongst 31 populations (seven cultivated and 24 wild populations) belonging to 14 Asiatic Vigna species. Ten pre-selected RAPD primers generated 152 polymorphic amplification products. Estimates of polymorphism indices were higher for the wild taxa in comparison to the cultivated forms. F_ST values between populations ranged from 0.111 to 0.801 and Nei’s genetic diversity values between and within species varied from 0.26 to 0.70 and 0.04 to 0.56 respectively. The high F_ST and F_CT values indicated strong subdivision of populations and high differentiation among species. Analysis of molecular variance was performed by grouping the populations conforming to specific species. AMOVA was also performed separately to better resolve the differentiation of species within mungo–radiata complex. Molecular phylogenetic relationships amongst the species of radiata–mungo complex; namely, black gram (V. mungo (L.) Hepper), green gram (V. radiata (L.) Wilczek), V. radiata var. sublobata, V. radiata var. setulosa, V. mungo var. silvestris and V. hainiana, were studied through cluster analyses. Two distinct groups were recognized within the complex, with population samples of V. hainiana forming one cluster. Further, V. hainiana appeared to be equidistant to both V. radiata and V. mungo.  相似文献

Taxocoenosis and distribution of nektonic fauna in the rice fields of Kashmir (J and K) India     

Bahaar SW  Bhat GA 《Pakistan journal of biological sciences: PJBS》2011,14(8):483-489

Present study attempts to identify the taxocoenosis and distribution of nektonic fauna harbouring the rice field ecosystems of Kashmir. The main objective of the study was to provide an overview of the nektonic community composition and physicochemical characteristics of flood waters. 6 sites were selected in Kupwara, Bandipora, Budgam, Srinagar, Pulwama and Anantnag districts of valley Kashmir. A total of 26 taxa belonging to 13 different orders were reported during the study which commenced through 2 consecutive crop cycles. The taxocoenosis was dominated by Coleoptera (10 taxa) followed by Hemiptera (3 taxa), Diptera (2 taxa), Diplostraca (2 taxa), Acarina, Anostraca, Anura, Amphipoda, Basommatophora, Cypriniformes, Cyprinodontiformes, Odonata and Pulmonata (1 taxa each). Diversity was calculated using Simpsons Index (D), Simpsons Index of Diversity (1-D), Simpsons Reciprocal Index (1/D), Shannon-Weiner Index (H'), Margalef Richness Index (d) and Evenness Index (e). Kupwara (34 degrees 02'N; 74 degrees 16'E) formed the most diverse site registering a total of 2384 individuals belonging to 24 taxa. A perusal of the primary data related to the physicochemical attributes of flood waters exhibited that average water temperature varied between 19-30 degrees C, average air temperature varied between 21 and 33 degrees C. pH depicted a variation between 6.0 and 9.0, Dissolved Oxygen varied between a minimum of 1.0 mg L(-1) and a maximum of 10 mg L(-1). Free CO2 ranged between 0 mg L(-1) and 6.1 mg(-1). The results pressed the need for recognizing and preserving rice fields as potential habitats for organisms that have successfully adapted to the highly manipulated and eutrophic conditions of rice paddies.  相似文献
