Endophytes isolated from seaweeds emerge as promising biocontrol agents against broad spectrum of plant diseases. The endophytic bacteria were isolated from the seaweed (Sargassum wightii) to manage the chilli fruit rot pathogen Fusarium incarnatum. The antifungal activity of the isolated bacteria was tested by dual culture assay and plant growth-promoting activity was also tested by the standard paper towel method.

The Internet of Things (IoT) network is a fast-growing technology, which is efficiently used in various applications. In an IoT network, the massive amount of connecting nodes is the existence of day-to-day communication challenges. The platform of IoT uses a cloud service as a backend for processing information and maintaining remote control.

To accelerate identification of disease resistant arecanut germplasm or hybrids against , it is very much imperative to develop bioassays which could differentiate resistant and susceptible cultivars efficiently. Here, a cost effective and rapid technique, called the "Detached Leaf Assay", was developed to identify resistant germplasm at the seedling stage itself. Zoospore production in highly virulent (P19) was standardized by incubating under a 12 hours light and dark regime.

The high-quality genome of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a crucial resource for enhancing agronomic traits and studying genome evolution within the Arecaceae family. We sequenced the Chowghat Green Dwarf cultivar, which is resistant to the root (wilt) disease, utilizing Illumina, PacBio, ONT, and Hi-C technologies to produce a chromosome-level genome of ~ 2.

Article Synopsis
  • - A new virus, called areca palm necrotic ringspot virus 2 (ANRSV2), was discovered in diseased areca palms in India using advanced techniques like RNA-sequencing and microscopy.
  • - The presence of ANRSV2 was confirmed with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, and researchers also found related virus sequences in other plants and honey bees.
  • - These discoveries expand knowledge about arepaviruses and their potential transmission through pollen, highlighting the need for more research to understand these novel viruses.
