Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
3. JASMONIC ACID
• Jasmonates are cyclopentanone
compound or plant hormones
derived from α-linolenic acid.
• It includes group of oxygenated
fatty acids collectively called
A
oxylipins and Jasmonic Acid is
main precursor to different
compounds to this group.
• Methyl jasmonate was first
isolated from the essential oil of
Jasminum grandiflorum

4. BIOSYNTHESIS OF JASMONATES
Jasmonic acid synthesized from fatty acid(α-
linolenic acid)
Lipoxygenase (LOX), AOS , AOC are key
enzymes of JA biosynthesis in Chloroplast,
and they form OPDA.
OPDA is transported to peroxisome through
ABC transporter COMATOSE(CTS)
Reduction of cyclopentanone ring of OPDA is
CTS
catalyzed by peroxisomal OPR enzyme
Three cycles of β-oxidation occurs to give
finally Jasmonic Acid. Enzymes involved are:
• ACX1 (Acyl-CoA oxidase in tomato)
• MFP (Multifunctional Protein)
• KAT (L-3-ketoacyl CoA thiolase)
The JA and its metabolic derivatives are

9. CERTAIN FACTS TO PONDER OVER
In India, fungal diseases are rated either the most
important or second most important factor contributing to
yield loss
Grover A. et al., 2003. Current science 84:330-340
Global loss because of pathogens is estimated to be
12% of potential crop production
Shah D.M. et al., 1997. Current Opinion in Biotechnology B:208-214
The highest losses, estimated at more than $42 billion per
year, occur in vegetables, fruits and rice
Shah D.M. et al., 1997. Current Opinion in Biotechnology B:208-214
11. ROLE OF JA IN RESISTANCE
Increased endogenous level of JA on treatment of Arabidopsis with necrotrophic fungus
A. brassicola Penninckx et al.(1996).Plant Cell.8:2309-2323
Biosynthetic and Signaling Arabidopsis mutants were more sensitive to attack by
necrotrophic fungal pathogen Phytium (jar1,coi1 and fad3-2fad7-1fad8 mutants) and
necrotrophic bacteria Erwinia carotovora (coi1 mutants)
Staswick et al.,(1998).Plant Journal 15:747-754
Vijayan et al.,(1998).PNAS USA 95:7209-7214
Transgenic plants overexpressing JMT and thus higher levels of
methyl jasmonate more resistant to necrotrophic pathogen

13. OVERALL MECHANISM OF SYSTEMIC RESPONSE
Wounded leaves produce an 18-amino acid peptide called systemin from
carboxyl terminal of prosystemin (200 AA precursor) in PP and it elicits
production of JA in companion cell-sieve element complex.
JA moves throughout the plant in the phloem. Covalently modified JA (JA-x)
play important role in systemic signaling.
signal is recognized at the target cell e.g. mesophyll (leaf)
Jasmonic acid turns on defense related genes (genes for proteinase inhibitor
etc.) in target cells.

15. AMPLIFICATION OF SYSTEMIN SIGNAL
Amplification of wound signaling is a major
event in systemic defense
Wounding
Systemin activates AOC which in turn
activates Prosystemin through OPDA/JA. Prosystemin
OPDA/JA again activates back the AOC.
In systemic response once JA is Systemin
synthesized, its cyclic production of JA can
occur by positive feedback mechanism
AOC
JA is a systemic signal that leads to
systemic expression of genes encoding OPDA/JA
Proteinase inhibitors(PINs)
The plant may develop some resistance Prosystemin
against subsequent herbivore attack.
Systemin
Thus JA signaling is necessary in systemic
response in leaf.

16. SYSTEMIC RESISTANCE AND ROLE OF JAs
Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR)
Systemic resistance
in plants Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR)
SAR:
Initial infection result in formation of necrotic lesions
SA concentrations increase and methyl-SA is released in distal plant tissue
PR proteins in the non-invaded parts of the plants are synthesised resulting in
reduction in disease symptoms after subsequent infection of many pathogenic
species.
ISR:
Non pathogenic root colonizing
rhizobacteria e.g. P. fluorescens or
wounding initiates ISR
ISR does not depend on SA and PR
protein
ISR requires both JA and ethylene
signalling
SAR regulatory protein NPRI is
required
Systemin is involved in ISR which is
absent in SAR.

18. TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION OF JA
Four major of interacting players of:
1. a JA signal
2. the SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligase
SCFCOI1
3. Jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ)
repressor proteins that are targeted by
SCFCOI1 for degradation by the
ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway ,and
4. transcription factors (TFs)
Howe et. al.(2008)Current Opinion in Plant Biology 11:428-235
Transcriptional regulation mechanism:
1. Expression of regulatory TFs for
JAs
2. Cross talk with the TFs responsible
for expression of other hormones.

19. Cross Talk with Ethylene and JA
•The antagonistic action of MYC2
and ERF1 may cause independence
between wound signaling and
pathogen defence signaling
Lorenzo et al (2004)Plant Cell 16:1938-1950)
•JA alone induce the expression
of AtMYC2 responsible for the
activation of wound response genes
and for the repression of pathogen
response genes.
•The cooperation of ET and JA
signals through the induction of
ERF1 leads activation of PR genes
and to the repression of WR genes
•Therefore, the interplay between
ERF1 and AtMYC2 allows the plant
selection of the correct set of genes
in response to these two stresses

20. Relevance of JAs studies
Plant lack an immune system like in animals but posses mechanism
that recognizes potential pathogens and initiate defense responses.
During their biochemical evolution, the plants are devised with certain
magic molecules of defense (secondary metabolites) like JAs.
Recent insights into the JAs mediated plant defense cascade and
knowledge of key regulators of this will help us to design future crops with
increased biotic stress resistance and better adaptability.
Higher crop yields might be achieved by increasing the
pathogen/insect resistance which can be achieved by manipulating the
expression of the key genes involved in JAs biosynthesis and signaling
cascades.
Feeding the ever increasing human population is biggest
social problem/challenge after all.
