Objectives: To examine the association of metabolites associated with the intake of a healthy diet with measures of insulin/glucose homeostasis.
Methods: Using cross-sectional data from 295 United States adults, the associations between 3 diet pattern scores and metabolome-wide metabolites were estimated via linear regression models, which controlled for demographic factors and health behaviors.
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.
Dypsis lutescens, commonly known as areca palm, is a highly valued ornamental species due to its aesthetic value. However, the foliage is vulnerable to various pathogens, particularly those responsible for fungal leaf spot diseases. In October 2023, a severe incidence (93 %) of destructive leaf spots was recorded on Dypsis lutescens at the University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore, and surrounding areas.
