Mixed Glioneural Tumors Mimicking Gliomas: Two Cases From a Tertiary Care Institute in South India and a Literature Review.

Glioneuronal tumours are rare neural neoplasms that show differentiation and are usually low-grade. Unlike gliomas, they do not require aggressive management, and diagnosing and differentiating between these two entities is crucial to determining the treatment paradigm of this disease. Surgery is the treatment of choice for glioneuronal tumours, and the role of adjuvant treatment still needs to be fleshed out.

A highly efficient stratagem for protoplast isolation and genetic transformation in filamentous fungus Colletotrichum falcatum.

Red rot of sugarcane caused by the hemi-biotrophic fungal pathogen, Colletotrichum falcatum, is a major threat to sugarcane cultivation in many tropical countries such as India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. With the accumulating information on pathogenicity determinants, namely, effectors and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of C. falcatum, it is of paramount importance to decipher the functional role of these molecular players that may ultimately decide upon the outcome of sugarcane-C.
