Flagellin and elongation factor of Bacillus velezensis (VB7) reprogramme the immune response in tomato towards the management of GBNV infection.

The present study investigates the reprogramming of plant defense system, upon interaction with MAMP (Microbe Associated Molecular Pattern) gene products including, flagellin (Flg) and elongation factor (EF-Tu) of Bacillus velezensis (VB7) and groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) in tomato (Shivam). The MAMP gene products induced the plant defense genes including, PAL, PPO, LOX, JAR, MYC2 and PDF 1.2.

Bacterial endophytome-mediated resistance in banana for the management of wilt.

Unlabelled: Banana ( spp.), a major cash and staple fruit crop in many parts of the world, is infected by wilt, which contributes up to 100% yield loss and causes social consequences. Race 1 and race 2 of Panama wilt caused by f.

Induction of in planta resistance by flagellin (Flg) and elongation factor-TU (EF-Tu) of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (VB7) against groundnut bud necrosis virus in tomato.

Role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in growth promotion and induction of resistance against various plant pathogens have been extensively studied. However, MAMP (Microbe Associated Molecular Pattern) triggered immunity (MTI) against plant viruses are not well exploited. The present study enlightens the role of two MAMP genes including, flagellin (Flg) and elongation factor (EF-Tu) in the induction of plant defense against GBNV infecting tomato.

Prevalence and referral rates in neonatal hearing screening program using two step hearing screening protocol in Chennai - A prospective study.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence and referral rates in well born and high risk babies using two step hearing screening protocol with Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) and Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR).

Method: A prospective study was carried out on 1405 neonates (983 well born babies and 422 high risk babies) who were screened during May 2013 to January 2015 at Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Madras Medical College, Chennai. All neonates were screened using two step screening protocol.
