- The study investigates the interaction between thrips, the primary vector of the groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV), and tospoviruses, revealing challenges in managing these pests due to their role as virus reservoirs.* -
- Analysis of thrips' transcriptome in response to GBNV infection identified 2,363 significant transcripts, with emphasis on gene expression linked to immune response and virus multiplication, providing insights into molecular interactions.* -
- The research suggests potential genetic targets for pest control strategies, while highlighting the need for further investigation into thrips-tospovirus dynamics beyond the commonly studied species and viruses.*

Article Synopsis
Thrips are important pests of agricultural, horticultural, and forest crops worldwide. In addition to direct damages caused by feeding, several thrips species can transmit diverse tospoviruses. The present understanding of thrips-tospovirus relationships is largely based on studies of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and Western flower thrips ().

- Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) is a major threat to mungbean production, with efforts focused on developing resistant plant varieties to combat the mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) and mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV).
- Advanced molecular and biochemical methods have been used to understand how YMD affects plants and to identify resistance mechanisms, but integrating this knowledge to create genotypes with long-lasting resistance remains a challenge.
- The review discusses the roles of begomoviruses and whitefly vectors in YMD, explores genetics of resistance in mungbean and blackgram, and considers management strategies including resistance sources, vector management, and modern techniques like gene editing with CRISPR/Cas9 for effective YMD control.
Roots enable the plant to survive in the natural environment by providing anchorage and acquisition of water and nutrients. In this study, root architectural traits of 153 mungbean genotypes were compared under optimum and low phosphorus (P) conditions. Significant variations and medium to high heritability were observed for the root traits.

Transradial access (TRA) has been established as a primary forearm access site. Use of transulnar access (TUA) as an alternative to radial route can serve as novel forearm access to the interventionalists.

Crosstalk from coherent optical interference originates from variation in the physical structure and alters the transmission link performance. Through simulations and experimental work, optical crosstalk as a function of wavelength is analyzed to understand its impact in MDM and MDM-WDM dual-multiplexing applications.

Ambu AuraGain versus intubating laryngeal tube suction as a conduit for endotracheal intubation.

Article Synopsis
- - This study compared the effectiveness of two supraglottic airway devices, the Ambu AuraGain (AAG) and the intubating laryngeal tube suction disposable (ILTS-D), in facilitating endotracheal intubation using an airway mannequin.
- - It was a randomized study where medical students and anesthesiologists tested both devices for blind and fiber-optically guided intubation, measuring success rates and time to establish a secure airway.
- - Results showed that the ILTS-D had significantly higher success rates for both blind (82.5%) and guided (84.6%) intubation compared to AAG (20.0% and 61.5%, respectively), indicating it
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a reconfigurable mode division multiplexing (MDM) silicon photonics three-mode switch (3MS) in C-band using a 120° optical hybrid based unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer (UMZI) and Ti/W metal heater phase-shifter. The novel 3MS enables reconfigurable switching of the first three transverse electric (TE) modes by exploiting the relative phase difference of the 120° hybrid. A proof-of-concept realization of this 3MS demonstrates <12.

- - The novel mode selecting switch (MSS) is designed for on-chip mode-division multiplexing (MDM) in optical interconnects, utilizing a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and specialized phase shifters.
- - The MSS shows impressive performance with over 25 dB switching extinction ratio and less than -12 dB crosstalk, making it effective for data switching.
- - Dynamic switching tests with a 25.8 kHz gating signal reveal quick switching times of under 10.9 μs, and all channels maintain a low power penalty while handling 10 Gb/s data rates.
