Background: Harmonia dunlopi (Crotch), a rare lady beetle species, was originally described from 'India' by Crotch (1874). But information on subsequent sightings of this species is absent and it has not been reported by anyone from India and its neighbouring countries ever since its original description. Because of this, Indian records of H.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding the structure and conserved domains of Musa chitinase isoforms can help select the right ones for creating banana plants that resist biotic stresses.
- The study analyzed chitinase sequences from the Musa genome to determine their gene structure and response to root lesion nematodes and eumusa leaf spot.
- It found that class II chitinases were overexpressed in response to nematode stress, while class III chitinases responded to eumusa leaf spot, with no isoforms being commonly activated under both stress scenarios.
