We are hosting a talk by Dr Rekha Raja (IIT Hyderabad) on ADVANCES IN ROBOTICS AND AI IN AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SCIENCES. All are welcome.

When parents visit your lab, it gives you a vibe you cannot express in words. Ended up in joyful tears. Welcome to our Rhizosphere Engineering lab at a remote place in our country (Pundibari, Coochbehar, WB, India). The lab, I built from scratch, is blessed to have you here Maa.

Happy to contribute to a unique review article where a new classification of HSPs is highlighted explaining their pleotropic role in multiple stress. Thanks to Dr Deepak Kumar for this opportunity. link.springer.com/article/10.100… #agricultural #biotechnology #biochemistry

Happy to share our recent work on Biopriming of seeds to overcome the impact of sub optimum temperature stress. link.springer.com/article/10.100… Enjoy reading #agriculture #climatechange #Bacillus #microbiology #soil #ecology

Finally, met a scientist who does bench work. #IISc

Ms Prima Bagui (IIT KGP), first intern from our laboratory, presented her work which was appreciated by the Director of Research, UBKV. GOOD WORK CAN BE DONE FROM THE REMOTE PLACES. #agriculture #microbiology #soil #seed #climatechange #rhizosphere

GOOD SCIENCE IS NOT DEPENDENT ON THE REMOTENESS OF YOUR LOCATION Two bright young minds defended their thesis. Congratulations to them. Shouvik worked on the mechanism to minimize thermal fluctuations in soil. Ramita worked on the antimicrobials secreted in the rhizosphere.

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Delighted to announce that I have received the Young investigator award from the Society for Free Radical Research, Bhaba Atomic Research Station, Mumbai.

Happy to share our lab's recent work on bacteria that reduces the thermal fluctuations in soil. Mr Shouvik Baidya deserves all the credits. Enjoy reading doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.1…

Bacteria can heal the seeds from the damage caused by low temperature stress. Priestia and Phytobacter sp. prevent membrane damage and electrolyte leakage from Capsicum annuum L. seeds subjected to sub-optimal temperature stress academic.oup.com/femsle/article…

Amazing conference. Every microbiologist must attend it.

Had a privilege to organize a webinar cum workshop on Microbial Ecology. Thanks to Agri-India Today (for this opportunity) and to the eminent speakers: Prof. Dipshikha Chakravortty, Dr Gaurav Sharma and Dr Samay Pande.

An amazing work unfolded when members of the Order Enterobacterales were found in soil. With the support of our collaborator Gaurav Sharma, Ph.D. and two amazing students Srija and Vaishnavi, we were able to show the native ecological functions performed by them. doi.org/10.1007/s42729…

Researching at a remote place is thrilling. Happy to share our recent article on how bacteria brings together the finer soil particles and prevent leaching loss of nutrients. #SoilHealth #microbes4climate #agriculture Enjoy reading doi.org/10.1007/s00284…

Happy to share our recent work on ONE HEALTH. ANTIMICROBIALS, NATURALLY SECRETED IN RHIZOSPHERE, CAN PREVENT THE RISK OF TRANSMISSION OF ENTERIC BACTERIA IN FOOD CHAIN. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Upasana Nanda, a very talented MSc student from our lab, defended her thesis with flying colours. I wish her a bright future.

Another name of respect CISF We got our laptop back because of the constant effort of Inspector Sumit Kumar Mandalay, Sub Inspector Sanendra Kumar, Vigilence Neeraj Singh and CCTV team. Hat's off to you guys.

I tried writing bad about the behavior of the AIR INDIA staff but ended up writing good Air India . They stood beside us Mumbai airport staff Mr Derris Symento, Ms Riya Khergamkar, Mr Meet Trivedi, Jay Joshi, Asha, and CS crew Dimli Tharayil helped us so much. Thank you.
