Powdery mildew is a serious fungal disease of legumes. A research article published in Genomics by Dr. Chandran’s group provides novel insights into powdery mildew pathogenesis and host resistance mechanisms.  Dual RNA-Seq was used to simultaneously capture host and pathogen transcriptomes at 1 d post-inoculation of resistant and susceptible Medicago truncatula genotypes with the powdery […]

 Drosophila melanogaster larval development is characterized by considerable growth and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is crucial for this process because it helps to maintain redox balance within cells by regenerating NAD+ from NADH.  As part of Dr. Jason Tennessen’s team at Indiana University, Dr. Geetanjali Chawla participated in a study that highlight’s the metabolic flexibility of Drosophila larval […]
