PARAMETERS OF CONDEMNATION OF ORGANS AND CARCASSES IN SLAUGHTERED CATTLE AND GOATS OF COMMERCIAL ABATTOIR IN BANGLADESH Hossain, M. M.; Islam, M. K.; Rahman, M. A.; Talukder, A. K.; Islam, M. This study identified the common causes of condemnation of slaughtered cattle and goat in a commercial abattoir in Bangladesh. A total of 8,604 cattle and 27,699 goats were slaughtered for the period of July 2007 to June 2008. All the procedures of standard abattoir were followed to get hygienic meat. Ante-mortem examination and postmortem inspection was done with due attention. In cattle liver and lungs are first list organs for condemnation and incidence of affection is 78% in liver and 19.3% in lungs. Fascioliasis is the leading cause of liver condemnation in cattle (75.5%). Hydatidosis affection found both in liver and lungs but the incidence rate is higher in lungs. Abscess is also a disease responsible for organ condemnation particularly in liver (1.4%), lungs (6.1%) and kidneys (I. I%). In goats, a total of 7,278 organs were condemned due to several diseases or conditions namely fascioliasis, hydatidosis, cysticercosis, abscess, pnemonia and tumor. Among them 5,55 I cases were liver (76.3%) and 1,296 cases were lungs (17.8%). Fascioliasis is the leading cause of liver condemnation in goat (94.8%) where pneumonia is for lungs condemnation (69.5%) in goat. However hydatidosis cause both liver (4.6%) and lungs (23.2%) damage at the point of condemnation. Liver, lungs and kidneys abscess are responsible for organ condemnation. Cysticercosis (16.3%), gluteal abscess (15.6%) and grass seed poisoning (6.4%) are also the causal factors of condemnation. The results suggested that the highest incidence of organ condemnation is found in liver and lungs caused by fascioliasis and pnemonia in cattle and goats respectively and grass seed poisoning is the single cause for whole carcass condemnation in goat. The results of the present study concluded that liver and lungs are organs of various affections and mandatory to condemn.

INFLUENCE OF PLANT POPULATION AND WEED MANAGEMENT PERIODS ON CROP-WEED COMPETITION OF GROUNDNUT Islam, M. S.; Akhter, M. M.; Haque, M. M.; Islam, M. S.; Saneokaoka, H. Population density and weed competition in crops constitute the main limiting factors for groundnut crop yields in Bangladesh. An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during April to August, 2008 to investigate the optimum population density and the most appropriate weeding period of groundnut. Two plant population viz. i) 200,000 (D,) and ii) 400,000 plants ha·1 (D2) and seven weed competition periods viz. i) No weed competition (Well), ii) weed competition for the first 25 DAS and thereafter weed tree (we I), iii) weed competition for the first 40 DAS and thereafter weed free (We2), iv) weed competition for the tirst 55 DAS and thereafter weed tree (We), v) weed competition tor the first 70 DAS and thereafter weed tree (WC4), vi) weed competition for the first 85 DAS and thereafter weed tree (Wes) and vii) weed competition up to harvesting (WC.) were studied. It was evident from the result that yield and yield contributing all characters except number of primary branches, total pods and mature pods, were increased at a plant density of 400000 plants ha·'. Weed competition period for the first 40 DAS and thereafter weed free up to crop harvest emerged out positive responses on yield and yield contributing characters.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON PERFORMANCE OF HYBRID AND INBRED RICE IN BORO SEASON Haque, M. M.; Pramanik, H. R.; Blswas, J. K. With a view to compare the performance of hybrid and inbred rice, a field experiment was conducted at the research farm of Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), Gazipur during Bora season, 2008- 2009. Two rice varieties (hybrid Heera2 and inbred BRRI dhan45) and six planting dates (30 December, 15 January, 30 January, 15 February, 0 I March and 16 March) were selected. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design (RCBD) with four replications, placing variety at mainplot and planting date at sub-plot. Heera2 produced tillers rapidly at vegetative phase but the tillers retention capacity was lower at post-flowering stage compared to BRRI dhan45, regardless of planting dates. Tillers production reduced gradually with delayed planting in both varieties. Heera2 exhibited significantly higher plant height and higher !lag leaf photosynthetic rate at flowering over BRRI dhan45. Different planting dates did not exert considerable effect on flag leaf photosynthetic rate at !lowering. Heera2 was out yielded BRRI dhan45 in early planting (30 December and 15 January). At delayed planting, grain filling (%) declined rapidly in Heera2 in comparison to BRRldhan45. Grain yield decreased @ 36.55 kg ha·1day·1and 68.74 kg ha·1day·1 in Heera2 and BRRI dhan45, respectively after 30 December planting. This result suggests that hybrid Heera2 is suitable only for early Bora season.

EXPRESSION PATTERNS OF AN ABIOTIC STRESS-INDUCIBLE ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR-4 GENE, LeERF4, IN TOMATO Islam, M. S.; Siddikee, M. A.; Knarr, A. A.; Wang, M. H. A full length cDNA encoding Lycopersicum esculentum ethylene responsive factor-4 (designated as LeERF4) was isolated and investigated the expression pattern of LeERF4 in tomato plant under different abiotic stresses from the tomato plant. Phylogenetic analysis based on the deduced amino acid sequence of the LeERF4 cDNA from tomato revealed a high sequence similarity to other ethylene responsive genes. Southern blot analysis showed that LeERF4 is a duplicate copy gene in the tomato genome. The organ specific expression profiling indicated that LeERF4 was expressed in all tested organs. The highest expression was found in young leaves and flowers compared to other tested organs. Northern blot analysis revealed that various environmental stresses such as salt, drought, coldness, ethylene and MY induced significant expression of LeERF4 but not expressed by the treatment of ABA. These results suggested that the LcERF4 plays an important role in tomato responses to abiotic stress and may be useful in improving plant tolerance to abiotic stress
