Predominant form of N in aerobic soils is nitrate (NO3-) while ammonium (NH4+) exists in anaerobic soils. Development of cultivars with improved NH4+ or NO3- use efficiency by harnessing inherent significant variability for NUE can be an important approach. Considering these facts, the present study was established with one hundred twenty two and selected thirty two recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of two indica genotypes, Danteshwari × Dagad deshi under three nitrogen forms and three environments. The trend analysis of NH4+-N and NO3--N dynamics revealed that NH4+-N concentration persisted more under anaerobic condition and NO3--N concentration under aerobic conditions. Three way-ANOVA showed high level of significance for variance components (G, N, E) and their interactions effects (GXN, GXE, NXE, EXNXG) for yield and NUE and their component traits. Mean performance of genotypes depicted higher values for agronomically important traits i.e. yield and NUE under NH4+ as compared to NO3--N and N0. The phenotypic and genotypic data was statistically analyzed for QTLs identification for yield and NUE traits. A total of 58 QTLs conferring the corresponding five traits were detected under three N forms and two environments. We also investigated the different members of AMT (Ammonium transporters), NRT (Nitrate transporters), GS (Glutamine Synthetase) and GOGAT (Glutamate Synthase) genes, involved in NUE and analyzed the expression pattern of each gene using gene-specific primer in young rice seedlings.

Paper-based approach for detecting the arsenic is a low-cost, non-instrumental method and provides on-site detection of water contaminants. In this study a rapid, simple and affordable method for arsenic detection was developed. This methodology involves the generation of arsine gas inside the analysis system that reacts with the silver nitrate present on the paper analytical device (PAD). This reaction between silver nitrate and arsine gives a colored product that was detected by scanning the colored intensity with image processing software. The iron oxide nanoparticles act as a reducing agent that causes the generation of arsine gas from arsenic. These nanoparticles were synthesized through green technology by using henna extract. The whole reaction takes place in the glass vial with the rubber cap on it at which the PAD was placed. Experimental parameters like concentration of reducing agent, silver nitrate and reaction time were evaluated that affects the performance of the analytical process.
