3. Research activities

# completed 04 externally funded project and 03 internally funded projects as PI/ Co-PI at BNCA. # 52 districts of North East Region of India were surveyed for Sugarcane grassy shoot (SCGS) and Sesame phyllody (SP) disease incidence, symptomatology and insect vectors and yield loss assessment under the DBT twinning project “Cataloguing of Phytoplasma diseases of major crops of North East Region of India and molecular characterization.” Operated in the department” #confirmed association of 16Sr XI-B group of phytoplasma affecting sugarcane cultivars and 16SrI-B group of phytoplasma affecting the sesame cultivars in the North East Region of India. # 16Sr DNA sequences of 15 isolates and secA gene sequences of 6 isolates of SCGS phytoplasma, generated from present study were submitted in NCBI GenBank with Acc. No. KY420054-56, KY420057 to KY420070, KY420074 (16Sr DNA) and MF372934 to MF372938 (sec A DNA). #21 isolates of 16Sr DNA and secA gene sequences of 9 isolates of SP phytoplasma generated in the present study were submitted in NCBI GenBank with Acc. No. KY420071 to KY420073 and MG761693 to MG761706 (16Sr DNA) and MG761710 to MG761718 (secA DNA). #8 isolates of 16Sr DNA and secA gene sequences of 4 isolates of phytoplasma infecting weeds and other plants generated in the present study were submitted in NCBI GenBank with Acc. No. KY420057 - KY420058, MG721532 and MG821481 to MG821485 (16Sr DNA) and MG721533, MG821486 to MG821488 (secA DNA). #Phylogenetic study of the DNA sequences confirmed the association of 16Sr I, 16Sr VI-D, 16SrXIV group of phytoplasma affecting weed sp. and other plants in North East Region of India. #out of eight different types of leafhoppers collected from sugarcane and sesame fields, Hishimonus phycitis Dist was confirmed as the vector of SP disease.# currently research programme on “Evaluation of three sugarcane varieties for reconfirmation of resistance against Sugarcane Grassy Shoot (SCGS) disease” and “Management of sesamum phyllody disease” is being conducted.
