Abstract: Asexual lineages can grow at a faster rate than sexual lineages. Why then is sexual reproduction so widespread? Much empirical evidence supports the Red Queen hypothesis. Under this hypothesis, coevolving parasites favour sexual reproduction by… read more here.

Abstract: Twenty isolates of Macrophomina phaseolina were collected from ten major chickpea growing states of India. Virulence of the isolates were tested on susceptible chickpea cultivars viz., H 09-23, L-550 and BG-212. A total of 215… read more here.
