MEIOSIS DRIVES EXTRAORDINARY GENOME PLASTICITY IN THE HAPLOID FUNGAL PLANT PATHOGEN MYCOSPHAERELLA GRAMINICOLA.

Meiosis drives extraordinary genome plasticity in the haploid fungal plant pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola.

Meiosis in the haploid plant-pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola results in eight ascospores due to a mitotic division following the two meiotic divisions.The transient diploid phase allows for recombination among homologous chromosomes.However, some chromosomes of M.graminicola lack homologs and do not pair during meiosis.Because these ch

Microbially Powered Electrochemical Systems Coupled with Membrane-based Technology for Sustainable Desalination and Efficient Wastewater Treatment

Objective:Seawater has a potential for managing the intensive potable drinking water demand.The recentconventional desalinating technologies are environmentally unsustainable and energy intensive.Thus, in the quest to find an alternative to the traditional desalination technologies, microbial desalination cells (MDC) have come into limelight.MDCs a
