A large group of bacteria cause disease in plants. they have specific characteristics and structure. There are different mechanism by which bacteria affect the plant and cause disease symptom. It is generally survive in soil and dead and decay organic matters and spread by water, agricultural implements, propagating materials, insects and humans. Hence, management practices are designed accordingly. Crop rotation, field sanitation, disinfestation of agricultural implements, use of disease free or resistant varieties and use of antibiotics are few of them.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

components of plant cells and their walls.
• Important symptoms: Galls and overgrowths,
wilts, leaf spots, specks, blights, soft rots, scabs
and cankers.
11. Shape of Bacteria
Rod Shaped (Bacilli), Spherical (Cocci), Spiral
(Spirilli), Coma Shaped (Vibrios) Or Thread Like
(Filamentous).
12. Colour of Bacteria
Single bacterium mostly appears as hyaline or yellowish
white under the compound microscope, when grown on a
medium
The colonies of most of bacteria have a whitish or greyish
appearance but some of them develop yellow, red or other
colours.
14. Bacterial Cell wall
A bacterium has a thin, relatively tough, rigid cell wall.
It composed of peptidoglycan consisting of chain of
alternating N-acetyl muramic acid and N-acetyl
glucosamine units cross linked by tetrapeptide and
pentaglycine units
Cell wall provide immuological distinction and variation
among strains of bacteria.
It allows the inward passage of nutrients and the outward
passage of waste matter and digestive enzymes.
15.
16.
17. Difference between Gram+ve and Gram -ve
Gram +ve
Cell wall is thicker and
homogemous.
Contains lower content of lipids (5-
10%)
Peptidoglycan comprises up to 90%
of the cell wall and hence maximum
lipid.
Techoic acid present.
Cell wall has higher amino sugar
content (10-20%)
Cell wall is simple in shape and is
single layered.
Mesosomes more prominent.
Retains violet dye
Examples: Bacillus, Clavibacter,
Streptomyces
Gram –ve
Cell wall is thinner and usually thin
layered.
Contains higher content of lipids (up
to 40%).
Peptidoglycan comprises only 10%.
Techoic acid absent.
Low content of amino sugars
Varying cell wall shape and is
tripartite (3-layered).
Mesosomes less prominent.
Retains red dye
Examples: Erwinia, Pseudomonas,
Xanthomonas, Agrobacterium,
Xylell
18. Cell membrane:
It is composed phospholipid (bilayer) and protein.
Permeable to nutrients, ions and others.
Function:
Regulate the passage of substance due to permeability.
Synthesis of membrane lipids
Synthesis of cell wall peptidoglycan
Assembly and secreation of extra cytoplasmic proteins
Co-ordination of DNA replication and segregation with
septum formation during cell division.
19. Mesosome
Cytoplasmic membrane invagination in the form of
tubular or vesicle shaped is called as mesosomes.
Mesosome in the centre (central mesosome) is used in
cell division.
Peripheral mesosome is used in transport of
extracellulaar enzymes from cytoplasm to exterior
regions.
20. Capsule
If many cells embedded in a common matrix then it is slime
layer.
It is made up of viscous gummy material, mostly composed
of polysaccharides but may rarely contain amino sugars,
sugar acids, etc.
When the layer is thick and firm, it is called capsule.
Generally plant pathogenic bacteria lack capsule but some
of them like Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas produce
slime.
Capsule or slime or micro capsule often called glycocalyx.
Most capsule are polyssacharide but some are polypeptide.
21.
22. Function
• Protection from temporary dryness
• Block attachment of bacteriophage
• Prevent phagocytosis.
• Provide virulence to the bacteria
• Promote attachment of bacteria
• Prevent cell aggregation in suspension by
electric charge.
• Important role in biofilm application
23. Flagella
These are thread like structure, which are usually longer
than the cell
Used for locomotion.
They are very delicate and fragile, 10-12 nm in width.
Thinner than eukaryotic flagella
Made up of flagellin protein
All spiral, few sperical and half of the rod shaped bacteria
are motile by flagella
24. Parts of a Flagellum
Filament: It is helical, outermost region of flagellum, composed of
flagellin (protein), synthesized in the cell, which moves to the hollow
core of the flagellum to the tip.
Hook: Filament is attached to hook which is wider than the flagellum.
This is 45 nm wide and made up of different types of protein.
The hook of gram positive bacterium is longer than that of gram
negative bacteria.
Basal body: It consists of small central rod which is inserted into a
system of rings.
25.
26. classification of rod shaped plant pathogenic bacteria on the basis of flagellation
1. Atrichous : Without flagella.
2. Monotrichous: Single flagellum at one end.
3. Cephalotrichous/ Lophotrichous : Several flagella at one
end.
4. Amphitrichous: Atleast one flagellum at each end
5. Peritrichous: Flagella present on whole periphery/surface.
28. Pili or Fimbriae
These are hollow, non-helical, filamentous, thinner, shorter, numerous hair
like structures.
Generally shorter than the flagella and are thicker (3-15 nm in diameter).
They are made up of protein sub-units known as pilin.
Common in gram –ve but also present in archae and gram +ve
Both flagella and pili originate from cell membrane and extend outward
through the cell wall.
Function: Adherence to the substrate, determine the virulence, provide
resistance from phagocytosis, involve in conjugation (sex pilli).
29.
30. Genome:
It includes both chrmosomal DNA and plasmid.
Chromosomal DNA is a long coiled, double stranded, single
circular DNA.
It appears as a spherical, ellipsoidal, dumb-bell or Y-shaped body
in the cytoplasm, but without any membrane.
The nuclear material consists of large circular chromosome,
composed of DNA.
It is also known as nucleoid or bacterial chromosome or chromatin
body.
Some species also have additionally single or multiple copies of
smaller circular genetic material called plasmids
31. Plasmid
These are small, circular, covalently closed, self replicating,
extrachromosomal DNA.
They control specific characters like pathogenicity,
nodulation etc.
Plasmids can move from bacterium to bacterium or
bacterium to plants. This special property is used in genetic
engineering for transformation of desired genes from one
plant to another by using it as vector.
33. Ribosomes:
It is used in protein synthesis.
Never bound to any organelles in cytoplasm.
Endospore
It is a spore within the cells
Resistant to unfavourable or stress condition.
On arrival of adverse condition protoplast concentrates
into spherical form and a thick wall develops around it.
On return of favorable condition endospore comes out
of bacterial cell and protoplast germinates to give rise
to a new bacteria.
34. Prokaryotes
