Biography:
Mr. Abhishek Gowda is a Ph.D. research scholar at University of Horticultural Sciences Bagalkot, India. He completed his M.Sc. in Plant Pathology from University of Horticultural Sciences Bagalkot, India. His research contributions during Master’s programme have paved the path identifying host defense inducers (Isonicotinic acid, methyl jasmonate and eugenol) and consortia of bio-agents (Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus spp.) against pomegranate bacterial blight disease. He is currently engaged with whole genome sequencing and comparative genomics of Ceratocystis fimbriata (causal agent of Pomegranate wilt) for identification of virulence genes and their corresponding R/S genes in the host and integrated disease management of wilt in pomegranate. He has one publication in SCI(E) journa
