Virulence perspective genomic research unlocks the secrets of associated with banded sheath blight in Barnyard Millet ().

Introduction: Banded sheath blight (Bsb) disease, caused by , is an emerging problem in barnyard millet cultivation. One of the significant goals of pathogenomic research is to identify genes responsible for pathogenicity in the fungus.

Methods: A virulence profiling-based approach was employed and six isolates were collected from various ecological zones of India.

Ustilaginoidea virens, an emerging pathogen of rice: the dynamic interplay between the pathogen virulence strategies and host defense.

The Ustilaginoidea virens -rice pathosystem has been used as a model for flower-infecting fungal pathogens. The molecular biology of the interactions between U. virens and rice, with an emphasis on the attempt to get a deeper comprehension of the false smut fungus's genomes, proteome, host range, and pathogen biology, has been investigated.

Unravelling geospatial distribution and genetic diversity of greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) from Himalayan Region.

The Greenhouse whitefly (GWF), Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), is a destructive pest that affects protected cultivation worldwide. The Indian Himalayan region is particularly vulnerable to GWF introduction, invasion, and spread due to the expansion of protected cultivation and climate change. In this study, we collected 32 naturally occurring GWF populations, mainly from the Uttarakhand state in the Indian Himalayan region, to investigate the distribution pattern and genetic diversity of T.

Exploring the diversity of virulence genes in the population infecting millets and rice in India.

Blast pathogen, spp., that infects ancient millet crops such pearl millet, finger millet, foxtail millet, barnyard millet, and rice was isolated from different locations of blast hotspots in India using single spore isolation technique and 136 pure isolates were established. Numerous growth characteristics were captured morphogenesis analysis.

Comparative Evaluation of Efficacy of EMLA Versus Ice as Topical Anesthetic in Prior to Needle Prick in Palatine Nerve Blocks-A Randomized Split Mouth Study EMLA Versus Ice as Topical Anesthetic in Dental Nerve Blocks.

Background And Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the pain efficacy of EMLA versus ice in palatine nerve blocks undergoing extraction.

Materials And Methods: A prospective randomized study, single-blind, split-mouth study carried out on a total of 20 healthy individuals needing extraction of bilateral maxillary teeth under local anesthesia referred to our department in the university from March 2021 to April 2022. Patients were randomly categorized into two groups: Group E (5% EMLA) and Group I (ice application), with 20 operative sites, respectively.
