اقبال سہیل

اقبال سہیلؔ
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ مہینہ اقبال سہیلؔ بھی چل بسے ۔وہ مسلم یونیورسٹی علی گڑھ کے باقیاتِ صالحات اور اُس عہد کی دیرینہ روایات کے حاملین میں سے تھے۔غیر معمولی ذہین وذکی تھے ۔فارسی اور اردو دونوں زبانوں کے بلند پایہ شاعر تھے۔ وہ اگر وکیل نہ ہوتے یامزاج لااُبالی نہ ہوتا توعلم وادب کے میدان میں ان کی شہ سواری کا مقابلہ بہت کم لوگ کرسکتے تھے ۔طبیعت حددرجہ دقیقہ رس اور دماغ بڑا نکتہ آفریں پایاتھا۔ نغز گوئی کے ساتھ اشعار میں روانی غضَب کی ہوتی تھی۔ غزلوں اور نظموں کے علاوہ انھوں نے جو نعتیہ نظمیں لکھی ہیں وہ بھی بڑے معرکہ کی ہیں، نثر بھی بہت اچھی لکھتے تھے ۔اگر کوئی صاحب اُن کے مضامین ِ نثر و نظم کو مرتب کرکے یک جا شائع کردیں تویہ اردو ادب کی مفید اورلائقِ قدر خدمت ہوگی۔ورنہ ان ادبی جواہر پاروں کے ضائع ہوجانے کا اندیشہ ہے ۔حق تعالیٰ مغفرت وبخشش کے فضل ِ خاص سے نوازے ۔ [دسمبر۱۹۵۵ء]

 

The Impact of Melaka as a UNESCO World Heritage Tourist Area on the Motivations

Malays will not disappear from the world." The oath of Admiral Hang Tuah in the 15th century seemed to have received his "luck". When UNESCO designated Bandaraya Melaka as a World Heritage City on July 7, 2008, The aim of this research is to determine what factors influence the motivation of tourists visiting the Old City area of Bandaraya Melaka. The research methodology uses quantitative descriptive analysis with a sample size of 37 people. Variable (X1): psychological motivation has no effect on tourist motivation (Y), cultural motivation variable (X2) has no effect on tourist motivation (Y), social motivation variable (X3) has an effect on tourist motivation (Y), and fantasy motivation variable (X4) has an effect on tourist motivation (Y). The R2 value is 0.682, meaning that the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable is 68.2%. While the remaining 31.8%, other variables amounting to 31.8 percent could be from medical treatment, costs, and travel services, which were not examined in this research.

Genetic Dissection of Fibre Yield and Quality Traits in Coloured Cotton

Since last few decades there is a resurgence of interest in naturally coloured cotton. This has motivated the cotton breeders to develop eco-friendly naturally coloured cotton varieties. To support such endeavours a study was carried out to characterize some coloured and white cotton genotypes using morphological and molecular markers, study the transcript level of different flavonoids structural genes in brown green and white cotton fibres, find out differences in the fibre structure and obtain information on the inheritance of fibre colour, yield, and quality traits. The scatter plot analysis grouped 20 cotton genotypes into four clusters. White cotton genotypes, except Cute-98 grouped in Cluster I. The Clusters II and III had all the tetraploid coloured cotton genotypes while Cluster IV had two diploid cotton genotypes. Biplot analysis also showed negative association between fibre colour and fibre quality traits. Both SSR and EST-SSR markers revealed high level of genetic similarity among the cotton genotypes. Two separate dendrograms based on SSR and EST-SSR markers identified four main clusters for 20 cotton genotypes. Nineteen SSR and five EST-SSR markers were found to be associated with different fibre quality traits. Higher value of expected heterozygosity, effective multiplex ratio and marker index for SSR markers as compared to EST-SSR markers showed distinctive nature of SSR markers in revealing the difference among cotton genotypes. Transcriptome analysis of five flavonoid structural genes i.e., GhCHI, GhF3H, GhDFR, GhANS and GhANR revealed temporal expression of these genes during different fibre developmental stages in brown, green and white cotton fibres. The transcript level of all genes was significantly higher in brown then green and white cotton fibres. Scanning electron microscopic analysis at 500X magnification revealed significant improvement in morphological features of fibre of all coloured hybrids as compared to their parents. The surface structure of brown cotton fibres had rough appearance under SEM (4000X) than the other parental lines and coloured cotton hybrids. The additive, dominance and epistatic genetic effects appeared to be involved in the inheritance of various plant traits. Additive type of gene action was involved in the inheritance of boll weight, seed volume and fibre fineness in all crosses. Moderate estimates of narrow sense heritability for these traits confirmed the preponderance of additive gene effects in the inheritance of these traits. Chi-square analysis revealed that single incomplete dominant gene was responsible for the inheritance of fibre colour in naturally coloured cotton. In conclusion, the information on the extent of genetic diversity in cotton germplasm and association of molecular markers with fibre quality traits would be helpful in constructing the breeding populations with desired allelic combinations. The transcriptome analysis of flavonoids structural genes demonstrated that gene manipulation strategy to modulate the transcript level of these genes could improve the pigmentation of brown cotton fibres. Scanning electron microscopy of fibre structure appeared effective in identifying structural difference of fibres in coloured cotton. The comprehensive information on the genetic diversity, fibre structure and gene expression together with the estimates of phenotypic components of genetic variation, obtained from six breeding generation, provided convincing basis for the genetic improvement of coloured cotton cultivars.
