Laser fluorimetry technique has been used to estimate uranium concentration in groundwater samples collected from 20 villages of Fazilka district, Punjab, India. The uranium concentration was found to vary from 4.32 to 83.99 μg l–1 at different locations with mean concentration of 26.51 μg l–1. Also, 24% of the drinking water samples exceeded the safe limits set by WHO, while 9% was above the limit set by AERB. Certain health risk factors like annual effective dose, excess cancer risk and lifetime average daily dose were also evaluated. The study also included uranium estimation in soil samples collected from the same villages using wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence technique. All the values were found to be well within the safe limits. Topography of the region seems to be the most likely reason for higher uranium concentration at some locations.Keywords

Tourmaline group of minerals, the primary source of boron, are cyclosilicates which are widespread in the earth’s crust. Earlier studies involving the nomenclature and classification of tourmaline were based on the measurement of its common elements (Al, Mn, Fe, Mg, etc.). In all such studies, boron was assumed to be fixed in the composition and restricted only to the triangular structural site. However, recent discovery of the presence of boron in the tetrahedral structural site as well, necessitates the measurement of boron content. Much of the earlier attempts to measure boron were based on solution methods, and electron microprobe analysis (EPMA) was the least used due to low levels of detection of its analytical crystals. In the present study, we quantify boron – particularly along with fluorine and other major elements – in tourmaline grains using high-sensitivity PC3 analytical crystal. We found that the measured boron content slightly exceeds that of the stoichiometrically calculated boron. Also, the studied tourmalines come under the alkali group in general and belong to the schorl– dravite solid solution series in particular.Keywords

Kalanamak is an important aromatic rice variety in India. Tall stature of Kalanamak causes lodging due to which its yield and other characters severely declines. Introgression of the semi-dwarfing gene (sd1) from CSR10 was performed with the help of markerassisted breeding. Backcross-derived plants were characterized for semi-dwarf nature. Improved Kalanamak lines were analysed for the sd1 gene and to check the presence of aroma, sensory analysis test and amplification with betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (badh 2) derived primer was performed. Improved versions of Kalanamak rice lines were either on par or superior in terms of yield, grain type and cooking quality with reduced height implicating the potentiality of marker-assisted backcross breeding for improvement of this rice variety.Keywords
