A flow‐through immunoassay ( FTA ), an improved version of immunodot, was developed using a nitrocellulose membrane baked onto adsorbent pads enclosed in a plastic cassette to detect white spot syndrome virus ( WSSV ) in shrimp. Sharp purple dots developed with WSSV against the white background of the nitrocellulose membrane. The detection limits of WSSV by the FTA and immunodot were 0.312 and 1.2 μg mL −1 crude WSSV protein, respectively. The FTA could be completed in 8–10 min compared with 90 min for immunodot. The FTA was 100 times more sensitive than 1‐step polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) and in between that of the 1‐ and 2‐step PCR protocol recommended by the Office of International Epizootics ( OIE ). In experimental, orally infected shrimp post‐larvae, WSSV was first detected 14, 16 and 18 h post‐infection (hpi) by FTA , immunodot and one‐step PCR , respectively. The FTA detected WSSV 2 and 4 h earlier than immunodot and one‐step PCR , respectively. The FTA was more sensitive (25/27) than one‐step PCR (23/27) and immunodot (23/27) for the detection of WSSV from white spot disease outbreak ponds. The reagent components of the FTA were stable giving expected results for 6 m at 4–8 °C. The FTA is available as a rapid test kit called ‘RapiDot’ for the early detection of WSSV under field conditions.

Hydroclimatic changes in a climate‐sensitive tropical region - Dileep K. Panda; A. Kumar; R. B. Singandhupe; N. Sahoo (International Journal of Climatology, 2013)
In this study, the hydroclimatic variables of Orissa, a tropical region in eastern India, and the cyclonic disturbances over the Bay of Bengal were analysed to assess trends and variations using nonparametric statistical procedures. The trend results revealed pronounced warming pattern in the monthly maximum temperatures and cooling pattern in the monthly minimum temperatures for the period 1987–2001. The differential forcing mechanisms of greenhouse gases and aerosols were considered as a reason for the temperature extremes. For the period 1960–2003, significant upward shift was observed in June rainfall, particularly over the region where orography influences the rainfall. This study provides strong evidence suggesting the occurrence of abrupt shifts in the cyclonic disturbances over the Bay of Bengal. For the period 1901–2003, the monsoon depressions and cyclonic storms, which contribute a substantial amount of rainfall in Orissa and central India, exhibited significant downward abrupt shifts during 1971 and 1950, respectively. However, severe cyclonic storms in the post‐monsoon season showed significant upward shift during the 1961–1965 pentad. More cases of non‐significant decreasing trends were observed in the monsoon rainfall for the period 1980–2003 in spite of high inter‐annual variability. These trends may be attributed to the significant downward shift in the monsoon depression from 1983 onwards analysed for the period 1960–2003. Results also show that the observed trends are highly sensitive to the season of analysis and the period of records. Copyright © 2012 Royal Meteorological Society

Fungal mitospores may function as dispersal units and/ or spermatia and thus play a role in distribution and/or mating of species that produce them. Mitospore production in ectomycorrhizal (EcM) Pezizales is rarely reported, but here we document mitospore production by a high diversity of EcM Pezizales on three continents, in both hemispheres. We sequenced the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and partial large subunit (LSU) nuclear rDNA from 292 spore mats (visible mitospore clumps) collected in Argentina, Chile, China, Mexico and the USA between 2009 and 2012. We collated spore mat ITS sequences with 105 fruit body and 47 EcM root sequences to generate operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Phylogenetic inferences were made through analyses of both molecular data sets. A total of 48 OTUs from spore mats represented six independent EcM Pezizales lineages and included truffles and cup fungi. Three clades of seven OTUs have no known meiospore stage. Mitospores failed to germinate on sterile media, or form ectomycorrhizas on Quercus, Pinus and Populus seedlings, consistent with a hypothesized role of spermatia. The broad geographic range, high frequency and phylogenetic diversity of spore mats produced by EcM Pezizales suggests that a mitospore stage is important for many species in this group in terms of mating, reproduction and/or dispersal.

Friend or foe: genetic and functional characterization of plant endophytic P seudomonas aeruginosa - A. Kumar; A. Munder; R. Aravind; S. J. Eapen; B. Tümmler; J. M. Raaijmakers (Environmental Microbiology, 2013)
Summary Endophytic P seudomonas aeruginosa strain BP 35 was originally isolated from black pepper grown in the rain forest in K erala, I ndia. Strain PaBP 35 was shown to provide significant protection to black pepper against infections by P hytophthora capsici and R adopholus similis . For registration and implementation in disease management programmes, several traits of PaBP 35 were investigated including its endophytic behaviour, biocontrol activity, phylogeny and toxicity to mammals. The results showed that PaBP 35 efficiently colonized black pepper shoots and displayed a typical spatiotemporal pattern in its endophytic movement with concomitant suppression of P hytophthora rot. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed high populations of PaBP 35:: gfp2 inside tomato plantlets, supporting its endophytic behaviour in other plant species. Polyphasic approaches to genotype PaBP 35, including BOX‐PCR , rec N sequence analysis, multilocus sequence typing and comparative genome hybridization analysis, revealed its uniqueness among P . aeruginosa strains representing clinical habitats. However, like other P . aeruginosa strains, PaBP 35 exhibited resistance to antibiotics, grew at 25–41° C and produced rhamnolipids and phenazines. PaBP 35 displayed strong type II secretion effectors‐mediated cytotoxicity on mammalian A 549 cells. Coupled with pathogenicity in a murine airway infection model, we conclude that this plant endophytic strain is as virulent as clinical P . aeruginosa strains. Safety issues related to the selection of plant endophytic bacteria for crop protection are discussed.

Characteristic features of hourly rainfall in India - N. R. Deshpande; A. Kulkarni; K. Krishna Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2012)
Hourly rainfall data recorded at 72 Self Recording Raingauge Stations (SRRG) for the period 1969–2006 are utilized to study the characteristic features of hourly rainfall and diurnal variations of rainfall in India. Temporal changes in the short duration (less than 12 h) rainfall extremes are examined. Time distribution of a heavy rain spell of 24 h duration, which is an important component in water resources management and flood control studies, is analysed. Different aspects of hourly rainfall such as, average number of rain hours in a year, empirical probability distribution functions have also been examined. Analysis indicates, many stations in India have recorded more than 10 cm of rainfall in an hour's duration. Such stations are located along the west coast, foothills of Himalayas and along the tracks of monsoon disturbances. Extreme rainfall events of various duration (3–12 h) show increasing trends, significant at 5% level, at many stations located in central India and peninsular India except for southern part of west coast. Time distribution of hourly rainfall shows that, on average, 25% of the daily rainfall can be received in just 3 h, while 80% can occur in 12 h during the heavy rain spells of 24‐h duration.
