The Importance of Plant Virus Transmission by Insect Vectors

J. Vamshi

Most plant viruses depend on insect vectors for their survival, transmission and spread. They transmit plant viruses by two principal modes, circulative (circulating through the insect?s haemocoel, CV) and non-circulative (carried on the cuticle lining of mouthparts or foregut, NC). Transmissibility and specificity between NC viruses and their vectors depend on the coat protein (CP) of the virus in addition to virus-encoded helper proteins. Circulative viruses cross the gut, circulate in the haemocoel and cross the salivary glands to render the insect infective. Circulative luteoviruses depend on small CP and the read-through protein (RTD) for transmission. Electrical penetration graphs have provided evidence on insect feeding behaviour and virus transmission. Recently, studies have shown that viruses can modify vector behaviour in a way that transmission is enhanced. Cultural, physical and novel biotechnological tools can provide virus control by interfering with vector landing and the retention of viruses in their vectors.

Fusarium Wilt in Chili

J. Vamshi

Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is the most widely grown solanaceous crop in the world. However, their production has reduced over several years due to the attack of various fungal and bacterial pathogens and various abiotic factors. Still, the major constraints in their production are pathogens with fungal etiology, especially the fungal wilt of solanaceous crops. One among the fungal diseases is Fusarium wilt, caused by the Fusarium oxysporum has emerged as a serious problem in past decade (Anonymous, 2005). (Singh, 1998) first time reported the wilt disease of chili caused by Fusarium spp. Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, F. moniliforme and F. pallidoroseum have been reported as the wilt causing agents from chili growing areas but in India F. oxysporum and F. solani are the most prevalent species of Fusarium found associated with wilt disease of chili (Madhukar, 2004). Fusarium oxysporum have been previously identified as the pathogens causing wilt disease in chili. Recently, a new fungal pathogen F. equiseti has been reported as the causal agent of wilt disease infecting chili. DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and sequencing were performed on the various diseased plants to isolate the fungus. DNA barcoding using the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) was used to identify the pathogen followed by the pathogenicity test. Further confirmation of the pathogen was done by sequencing of transcription elongation factor (TEF) and Calmodulin (CAL2).

Diversified Farming Systems in Indian Agriculture: A Sustainable Approach to Enhance Productivity and Resilience

Seemakowsar, N. et al.

Indian agriculture faces formidable challenges, including climate change, resource depletion, and diminishing productivity, jeopardizing the livelihoods of small and marginal farmers who constitute over 86% of the farming community. This paper advocates for a paradigm shift towards diversified farming systems to address these multifaceted issues. The study emphasizes the integration of crops with complementary enterprises such as dairy, sheep, poultry, horticulture, and fisheries. Diversification offers numerous advantages, including risk reduction, resilience to climate change, soil health improvement, biodiversity conservation, and cultural value preservation. The research analyzes various farming systems in different regions of India, demonstrating that integration leads to higher net income and employment generation. Despite potential challenges like limited market demand and infrastructure issues, the benefits of diversified farming outweigh the drawbacks. This paper underscores the importance of tailoring diversified farming systems to be socially acceptable, environmentally friendly, and economically viable, promoting sustainability and contributing to the well-being of farmers and the broader community.
