Harnessing Trichoderma Mycoparasitism as a Tool in the Management of Soil Dwelling Plant Pathogens.

Maintaining and enhancing agricultural productivity for food security while preserving the ecology and environment from the harmful effects of toxicants is the main challenge in modern monoculture farming systems. Microbial biological agents can be a promising substitute for traditional synthetic pesticides to manage plant diseases. Trichoderma spp.

Transcriptional Reprogramming and Allelic Variation in Pleiotropic QTL Regulates Days to Flowering and Growth Habit in Pigeonpea.

The present study investigated the linkage between days to flowering (DTF) and growth habit (GH) in pigeonpea using QTL mapping, QTL-seq, and GWAS approaches. The linkage map developed here is the largest to date, spanning 1825.56 cM with 7987 SNP markers.

Non tuberculous Mycobacterial Surgical Site Infections after Laparoscopic Surgery: A Case Series of 37 Patients.

Nontuberculous mycobacterial surgical site infections (SSIs) have a distinct course of disease with diagnosis and treatment presenting challenges. Thirty-seven patients who underwent various procedures and then developed late SSI due to nontuberculous mycobacteria included in this case series. Samples were sent for diagnosis.

Study of multimodal light emissions from Pr/Yb doped NaLa(MoO) phosphors for optoelectronic devices and plant-growth applications.

Recent advancements in materials design have driven the scientific community to explore phosphor materials for multifunctional applications. This study presents the multimodal light emission (downshifting - DS, quantum cutting - QC, and upconversion - UC) from Pr/Yb activated NaLa(MoO) phosphors for multifunctional applications. Under blue (449 nm) and NIR (980 nm) excitation, co-doped phosphors emit visible light through DS and UC processes caused by different f-f transitions of Pr ions.

Difficult airway foreign body removal.

Foreign body (FB) aspiration in children is a common emergency. Traditionally, rigid bronchoscopy has been considered to be the mainstay for removal. However, in certain cases, flexible bronchoscopy can prove to be a better option and avoid thoracic surgery and unnecessary morbidity.
