The Indian stingless bee Tetragonula iridipennis (Hymenoptera: Apidae), popularly recognized as the Indian dammer bee, is an economically important and widely distributed non-Apis bee species in India. The taxonomic gaps, systematics, evolutionary puzzles, and structural motifs within the mitogenomes of this species have rarely been examined and are not fully understood. Next-generation sequencing was employed to decipher the complete mitochondrial genome of T. iridipennis (15,045 bp). De novo genome assembly revealed that it encompasses 34 genes: protein-coding genes (13), transfer RNA (tRNAs) genes (19), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes (2). Additionally, genome organization, including gene content, nucleotide composition, codon usage, and gene rearrangement, was investigated to better comprehend, utilize, and conserve this germplasm resource. The average gene length was 400 bp; maximum and minimum lengths were 1,530 bp (cox1) and 57 bp (tRNA-S1), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis has suggested that T. iridipennis is mostly closely related to T. pagdeni and Lepidotrigona species. All the stingless bee species (Meliponini) formed a distinct clade that shared a closer relationship with bumble bees (Bombini) than honey bees (Apini). The nucleotide composition of T. iridipennis was biased toward A+T, which accounted for 75.95% of the whole mitogenome. Length and compositional differences between T. iridipennis and other bees were detected, and gene order was compared. The mitogenome of T. iridipennis showed the highest gene rearrangement score (78), suggesting this species has a hyperactive evolutionary history. The variations of gene positions and gene rearrangement in the mitogenome could also aid in resolving the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history in Meliponini. Additionally, this is the first report of a complete mitochondrial genome sequence of T. iridipennis.

Insects possess beneficial and nuisance values in the context of the agricultural sector and human life around them. An ensemble of gut symbionts assists insects to adapt to diverse and extreme environments and to occupy every available niche on earth. Microbial symbiosis helps host insects by supplementing necessary diet elements, providing protection from predators and parasitoids through camouflage, modulation of signaling pathway to attain homeostasis and to trigger immunity against pathogens, hijacking plant pathways to circumvent plant defence, acquiring the capability to degrade chemical pesticides, and degradation of harmful pesticides. Therefore, a microbial protection strategy can lead to overpopulation of insect pests, which can drastically reduce crop yield. Some studies have demonstrated increased insect mortality via the destruction of insect gut symbionts; through the use of antibiotics. The review summarizes various roles played by the gut microbiota of insect pests and some studies that have been conducted on pest control by targeting the symbionts. Manipulation or exploitation of the gut symbionts alters the growth and population of the host insects and is consequently a potential target for the development of better pest control strategies. Methods such as modulation of gut symbionts via CRISPR/Cas9, RNAi and the combining of IIT and SIT to increase the insect mortality are further discussed. In the ongoing insect pest management scenario, gut symbionts are proving to be the reliable, eco-friendly and novel approach in the integrated pest management.

AbstractFor the burgeoning global population, sustainable agriculture practices are crucial for accomplishing the zero-hunger goal. The agriculture sector is very concerned about the rise in insecticide resistance and the Modern Environmental Health Hazards (MEHHs) that are problems for public health due to on pesticide exposure and residues. Currently, farming practices are being developed based on microbial bio-stimulants, which have fewer negative effects and are more efficient than synthetic agro-chemicals. In this context, one of the most important approaches in sustainable agriculture is the use of biocontrol microbes that can suppress phytopathogens and insects. Simultaneously, it is critical to comprehend the role of these microbes in promoting growth and disease control, and their application as biofertilizers and biopesticides, the success of which in the field is currently inconsistent. Therefore, editorial is part of a special issue titled "Biocontrol Strategies: An Eco-smart Tool for Integrated Pest and Disease Management" which focuses on biocontrol approaches that can suppress the biotic stresses, alter plant defense mechanisms, and offer new eco-smart ways for controlling plant pathogens and insect pests under sustainable agriculture.

Tomato production is severely affected by abiotic stresses (drought, flood, heat, and salt) and causes approximately 70% loss in yield depending on severity and duration of the stress. Drought is the most destructive abiotic stress and tomato is very sensitive to the drought stress, as cultivated tomato lack novel gene(s) for drought stress tolerance. Only 20% of agricultural land worldwide is irrigated, and only 14.51% of that is well-irrigated, while the rest is rain fed. This scenario makes drought very frequent, which restricts the genetically predetermined yield. Primarily, drought disturbs tomato plant physiology by altering plant–water relation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Many wild tomato species have drought tolerance gene(s); however, their exploitation is very difficult because of high genetic distance and pre- and post-transcriptional barriers for embryo development. To overcome these issues, biotechnological methods, including transgenic technology and CRISPR-Cas, are used to enhance drought tolerance in tomato. Transgenic technology permitted the exploitation of non-host gene/s. On the other hand, CRISPR-Cas9 technology facilitated the editing of host tomato gene(s) for drought stress tolerance. The present review provides updated information on biotechnological intervention in tomato for drought stress management and sustainable agriculture.

Abstract The present study conducted to identifying and characterizing the efficient Zn solubilizing rhizobacteria isolated from chickpea and peas rhizosphere owing distinct plant growth advancing qualities for zinc-inadequate alluvial soil. Out of ten, Four strains ZnJ11, (Klebsiella pneumonia- MT509804), ZnJ10 (Acinetobacter calcoaceticus- MT509803), ZnJ15A (Acinetobacter pittii- MT509805), and ZnJ2A (Pantoea agglomerans- MT509806) were selected using basal medium contained insoluble Zn minerals such as ZnO and ZnPO4 at concentrations of 2000 µg/mL. In qualitative assay, ZnJ11 showed maximum zinc solubilization efficiency (SE: 525 ± 2.9 and pH-7.5), followed by ZnJ10 showed (SE: 383 ± 3.1 and 329 ± 3.2, pH-7.5) in all three Zn sources, then ZnJ15A and ZnJ2A exhibited (SE: 306 ± 2.2 and 206 ± 1.7) respectively. Contrary to plate assay, zinc solubilization in liquid medium quantified by AAS also revealed efficacy of all the strains. Bacterial growth and Zn solubilization at variable salt concentration (0–10%) and pH (4.5–10) was measured that showed Klebsiella sp. tolerate (8% & 6.5–8.5), Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (6% & 6.5–10), Acinetobacter pittii (10% & 6.5–10) and Pantoea sp. (8% & 5.5–10) respectively. In addition, all strains were showed different degree of susceptibility to tested antibiotics at variable concentrations. Simultaneously, phytostimulating properties like IAA production, nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, potassium solubilization, siderophore production, ammonia production, HCN and amylase, cellulose, pectinase and catalase were also tested. Bio-inoculation of A. calcoaceticus × P. agglomerans was done in rice crop (HUR 105) with different combination of zinc oxide and zinc sulfate in pot experiment. Findings revealed that root growth (31 ± 1.6), straw yield (32.4 ± 1.7), and grain yield (13 ± 2.0) in the treatment of ZnO (Zn-8.0 kg/ha) with Bio-inoculation was found superior over all treatments. The positive action of Bio-inoculation was also exhibited on growth and yield parameters.

Land degradation has become a worldwide problem. Increasing population, the conversion of forest land into cropland, and its gradual degradation due to unsustainable agricultural practices have led to this prevailing scenario. Unsustainable agriculture practices like use of chemical fertilizers for increasing crop productivity (recorded 281.75 lakh tonnes in the year 2010–2011) also leads to degradation of land. A total of 4.1 million hectares of culturable wasteland was recorded in the same year. Also, crude oil consumption is increasing at a rate of 1.7% which prompts for massive input of crude oil. Thus, biofuel plantations have recently attracted a lot of attention because of several advantages that they present. The genetically engineered bioenergy crops can help in land restoration by increasing the soil fertility, growing in stress conditions, and they also lead to the production of fuels through their various parts. The use of genetically engineered bioenergy crops will not only help in the prevention of degraded land but also yield biofuel as a product and enhance soil fertility and health for further sustainable agricultural practices.
