4th Indo-Tunisia Mini Symposium onMicrobial Solutions for Sustainable Agriculture
May 19th, 2022Amity Food and Agriculture Foundation Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida
Dr. Nutan Kaushik & Dr. Naceur DJEBALIThe 4th Indo-Tunisia mini-symposium was conducted on 19.05.2022 on zoom platform, under international collaboration project “TOMendo” between India and Tunisia on Diversity of Tomato Seed-Borne Endophytes and Their Application for the Promotion of Plant Growth and Defenses against Pathogen with Dr. Nutan Kaushik as Indian collaborator and Dr. Naceur Djebali as Tunisian collaborator. Previously, two mini-symposiums were hosted in Tunisia and one in India. The Department of Science and Technology (DST) of the Indian government provided funding for this study. The importance of Indian and Tunisian tomato varieties as a source of beneficial endophytic bacterial strains that can help plants battle economically important fungal infections is demonstrated in this research. The antifungal, plant growth-promoting, and identity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by tomato-derived endophytic bacteria strains were studied in this work. Moreover, antifungal lipopeptides such as Surfactin and Bacillomycin D have been reported by these beneficial bacteria. The development of a formulation based on the most favorable endophytic bacterial strain leads to the suppression of R. solani disease in tomato plants grown in greenhouses. Seven visits were made as part of this programme, including two scientific exchange visits for students. This initiative resulted in two patents, one from India and the other from Tunisia, as well as three published papers in high-impact factor journals (above 5). This symposium was organised to identify the possibilities of extension of this fruitful collaboration with more scientific exchange programs. Various prestigious speakers such as, Dr. Naceur Djebali, CBBC Tunisia, Dr. K Annapurna, Professor Emeritus, IARI, New Delhi, Dr. Ajit Varma, Group Dy. Vice Chancellor, AUUP, Dr. KRK Reddy, Managing Director, Sri BioAesthetics Pvt.Ltd, Dr. Charu Gupta, Associate Professor, AIHRS, AUUP, by Dr. Nutan Kaushik, DG, Amity Food and Agriculture Foundation, AUUP, Dr. Sangeeta Pandey, Joint Coordinator & Assistant Professor, AIOA, AUUP and Dr. Manel Chaouachi, CBBS Tunisia, delivered their talk on relevant topics. Nine participants participated in poster presentation competition, in which Faouzia Haddada, CBBC, Tunisia, Dr. Imen Ben Slimene, CBBC, Tunisia and Ms. Shikha Gupta, AIOA, India secured the first, second and third position respectively. Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan, Honorable Founder President, also graced the symposium with his presence. He talked about his mission connect of bringing brilliant brain together. He also commended the project team on their accomplishments and awarded Dr. Naceur an Honorary Professorship, which he accepted on May 20, 2020 from Vice Chancellor Dr. Balvinder Shukla.
