Patent / Technologies / Methodologies / System etc. (Upto Five) :

1. Methodology for mass rearing Thrips palmi, the vector of tospovirsuses on soil-less media and vector-mediated transmission of groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) & watermelon bud necrosis virus (WBNV)

2. Methodology for evaluation of watermelon genotypes for resistance to watermelon bud necrosis virus (WBNV) through mechanical sap-transmission

3. Optimized the methodology for inducing GBNV infection in tomato, chilli, tobacco and cowpea plants under controlled conditions through mechanical sap-transmission as well as high-pressure spray gun inoculation to evaluate the genotypes for resistance.

4. A multiplex RT-PCR assay system for simultaneous detection of three most prevalent tospoviruses in India (GBNV, WBNV & Capsicum chlorosis virus-CaCV)

5. Identified the source of resistance to WBNV in watermelon and developed, through precise in-silico identification of the immunogenic epitopes, the WBNV NSs protein-specific polyclonal antiserum useful for the host plant resistance screening, identification of the vector thrips species transmitting WBNV, and for forecasting of WBNV inoculum by detecting viruliferous thrips population in the fields before the cropping season.
