Alteration of genetic make-up of the isolates and mono-sporidial strains of Tilletia indica causing Karnal bunt (KB) disease in wheat was analyzed using DNA markers and SDS-PAGE. The generation of new variation with different growth characteristics is not a generalized feature and is not only dependant on the original genetic make up of the base isolate/monosporidial strains but also on interaction with host. Host determinant(s) plays a significant role in the generation of variability and the effect is much pronounced in monosporidial strains with narrow genetic base as compared to broad genetic base. The most plausible explanation of genetic variation in presence of host determinant(s) are the recombination of genetic material from two different mycelial/sporidia through sexual mating as well as through parasexual means. The morphological and development dependent variability further suggests that the variation in T. indica strains predominantly derived through the genetic rearrangements.

The ionospheric mid-latitude trough (IMT) is the electron density depletion phenomenon in the F region during nighttime. It has been suggested that the IMT is the result of complex plasma processes coupled to the magnetosphere. In order to statistically investigate the characteristics of the IMT, we analyze topside sounding data from Alouette and ISIS satellites in 1960s and 1970s. The IMT position is almost constant for seasons and solar activities whereas the IMT depth ratio and the IMT feature are stronger and clearer in the winter hemisphere under solar minimum condition. We also calculated transition heights at which the densities of oxygen ions and hydrogen/helium ions are equal. Transition heights are generally higher in daytime and lower in nighttime, but the opposite aspects are seen in the IMT region. Utilizing the Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) electron temperature measurements, we find that the electron temperature in the IMT region is enhanced at night during winter. The increase of electron temperature may cause fast transport of the ionospheric plasma to the magnetosphere via ambipolar diffusion, resulting in the IMT depletion. This mechanism of the IMT may work in addition to the simply prolonged recombination of ions proposed by the traditional stagnation model.

행성상성운 NGC 6881은 4극자형태를 이루고 있고 JET이 영상에 나타난다. Lick 천문대에 있는 Hamilton Echelle Spectrograph(HES)을 사용하여 관측한 가시광 영역의 방출선 스펙트럼의 선윤곽을 연구하였다. 우리가 연구하는 HES 분광 자료는 직경이 4초각인 영역의 안쪽에서 관측된 것이다. IRAF와 StarLink/Dipso분석프로그램을 사용하여 HI, HeI, HeII, [OIII], [NII], [ArIII], [SII], [SIII] 등의 강한 선들의 선윤곽을 통해 팽창속도를 얻었다. HI선의 경우 단일 정상을 보이는 반면, He과 다른 금지선들은 두 개의 정상 분포가 겹치는 특성을 보였다. 가스 유출 속도는 중심별의 복사압에 의해 바깥쪽으로 갈수록 가속되는 것으로 분석되었다. 우리는 팽창속도자료를 통해, HST 영상에서 보여진 중심부분의 세 개의 고리는 양극콘(HI 선등에 나타남)과 고리(He, [SIII]선에 특성이 보임)의 복합 구조가 투영된 것으로 결론지었다.
