Global germplasm collections: sure benefits without seedborne diseasesCIAT
The Genetic Resources Program is the germplasm bank of CIAT which conserves the collections of bean and tropical forage seeds, and the collection of cassava "in vitro" for a total of approximately 67,500 different accessions. The conservation of these collections allows the benefit of the distribution of germplasm of approximately 6,000 samples of genetic material per year, at national and international level. To minimize the risks associated with the movement of germplasm, especially the transport of pathogens of quarantine interest, it is required a process of laboratory tests certifying the plant quality. This process is carried out in the Germplasm Health Laboratory of the GRP, where also research is developed to improve the effectiveness of the detection, testing reliability and efficiency of operations.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard 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.

17. PHYTOSANITORY CERTIFICATE
What is a Phytosanitary Certificate?
A Phytosanitary Certificate is an official document that indicates the exporting material is free from
pest and diseases.
(http://www.agriculture.gov.ie/farmingsectors/planthealthtrade/)
When should a Phytosanitary Certificate be required?
Importing Countries should only require phytosanitary certificates for regulated articles. These
include
commodities such as plants, bulbs and tubers, or seeds for propagation, fruits and vegetables,
cut flowers and branches, grain and growing medium.
17
19. Guidelines for import of Plant material
• Import from a country where the pathogen(s) is absent.
• Import from a country with an efficient plant quarantine service, so that
inspection and treatment is done.
• Obtain Planting material from the safest known source within the selected
country.
• Obtain non-treated seeds so that detection of seed borne pathogens is facilitated
• Obtain clean, healthy-looking seeds of type of impurities.
• Obtain an official certificate of freedom from pests and diseases from the
exporting country.
• Import the smallest possible amount of planting material; the smaller
the amount, the less the chance of its carrying infection.
• It will also simplify post entry inspection.
• Inspect material carefully on arrival and treat.
• If other precautions are not adequate, subject the material to intermediate or
post entry quarantine.
• Salvage infected seeds.
19
20. • Visual inspection
• Isolation on growth medias
• Bioassays of sensitive indicators of
inoculated for specific symptoms
• Microscopy
• Serology
• Molecular methods
• Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
• Reverse transcriptase- PCR (RT- PCR)
• Quantitative PCR (q - PCR) and
• Nucleic acid lot assays.

26. WHY MODERN TECHNIQUES ARE
REQUIRED IN QUARANTINE .?
• Conventional diagnostic techniques are time consuming, also need more labour
and skill users.
Newly entered pathogens in India
Fungi – Wheat blast Motalleb KA et al. 2019
Bacteria – all races of Ralstonia solanacearum
Virus – Grape vine leaf roll virus Surender kumar et al. 2013
26
29. PCR – POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
• PCR technique is used to amplify the target DNA invitro. It is otherwise
known as thermal cycler
TYPES
• Conventional PCR
• Reverse transcription PCR(RT PCR)
• Real time PCR ( qPCR)
• Multiplex PCR
29
32. RT- PCR
• Important limitations of other PCR
types are inability to differentiate
between dead and living fungi. But
RT- PCR can do…
• Process - RNA reverse transcribed to
cDNA and then amplified by any PCR
based methods
32
34. • Quantify the Fusarium ear blight (Fusarium
graminearum) in cereals such as wheat, rye,
barley, oat and maize
(Brown et al.2011)
34
35. REAL TIME PCR (q-PCR)
• Amplification of target sequence can be quantified at each PCR
cycle, an amplification is monitored pictographically in monitor.
• Eliminates the post PCR steps, also eliminates carcinogenic
chemicals (Ethidium bromide and radioactive isotopes, UV
radiation)
• Reduce the risk of sample contamination, and check the cell
viability
(Capote et al. 2012)
35
37. • There are currently 4 different fluorescent techniques
- SYBR green dye based detection technique
- TaqMan probes
- Fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET)
- Molecular beacons
(Schaad and Frederick 2002, Mackey et al. 2002)
37
38. Used for the identification and quantification of disease causing fungi
Aspergillus versicola
Cladosporium cladosporides
Stachybotrytis chartrum and
Alternaria alternata
(Black 2009)
38
39. MULTIPLEX PCR
• Simultaneously detect multiple pathogens in single reaction. More
than one set of primers are used
• Reduce the total detection time.
• Used for the simultaneous detection of fungal pathogens like F.
oxysporium, P. nicotianae and P. cactorum
(Cho et al. 2016)
39
It Quantifies RNA viruses and Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi
affecting olive tress.
(Bertolini et al. 2003)
41. LAMP (LOOP MEDIATED ISOTHERMAL
AMPLIFICATION)
• Amplifies nucleic acid under isothermal conditions with high specificity for
isolation of DNA at single temperature
(Tsui et al. 2011)
• Isothermal amplification is carried out at a constant temperature (60 – 65oC)
• Typically, 6 different primers are used to identify 8 distinct regions on the target
gene
(Fauruddin et al. 2011)
• Use BST polymerase for high strand displacement activity.
• It may be combined with a reverse transcription step to allow the detection of RNA
• 10 times more sensitive than conventional PCR (Ren et al. 2009)
41
43. • We can diagnose diseases in Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei)
(Das et al. 2012)
• Detect the presence of thermo-dependent dimorphic fungus
Paracoccdioides brasiliensis
(Endo et al. 2004)
• Penicillium marneffei (Sun et al. 2010)
• Primary blue stain fungus (Villari et al. 2013)
• Erwinia amylovora in pear and apple (Temple et al. 2008)
43
BY USING LAMP
46. NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING
(NGS)
NGS technology is embraced in Plant Pathology.
Used to detect multiple pests in different kingdoms and down to strain in single test (Wu et al. 2015)
Detect very low titer organisms (Stobbe and Roossinck et al. 2011)
Cost is reduced and tool for plant quarantine and protocols
(Adams et al. 2009)
NGS can be as sensitive as graft indexing onto indicator plants for
detection of known viruses of grapevine.
(Rwahnih et al. 2015)
48
48. USING NGS
• Grapevine red blotch associated virus (Sudarshana et al. 2015)
• Detection of new Luteovirus in nectarine germplasm from France after clearing post
entry quarantine
(Bag et al. 2015)
• NGS used to develop draft genomes of Calonectria henricotiae and C.
pseudonaviculata (blight on Sarcococca) fungal pathogens causing boxwood blight
(Malapi-Wight et al. 2016)
• Detection of sugarcane viruses in quarantine programs
