RNA interference (RNAi) is emerging as a potent insect pest control strategy over current methods and their resistance by pest. In this study we tested 15 different in vitro synthesized dsRNAs for gene silencing in Helicoverpa armigera. These dsRNAs were specific against H. armigera enzymes/proteins such as proteases like trypsins (HaTry2, 3, 4 and 6), chymotrypsin (HaChy4) and cysteine proteases such as cathepsin (HaCATHL); glutathione S-transferases (HaGST1a, 6 and 8); esterases (HaAce4, HaJHE); catalase (HaCAT); super-oxide-dismutase (HaCu/ZnSOD); fatty acid binding protein (HaFabp) and chitin deacetylase (HaCda5b). These dsRNAs were fed to second instar larvae at an optimized dose (60 μg/day) for 3 days separately. Effects of dsRNA feeding were observed in terms of larval mass gain, percentage mortality and phenotypic abnormalities in later developmental stages of H. armigera. These findings might provide potential new candidates for designing sequence-specific dsRNA as pesticide in crop protection. 1 aChikate, Y., R.1 aDawkar, V., V.1 aBarbole, R., S.1 aTilak, P., V.1 aGupta, V., S.1 aGiri, A., P.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/data-vitro-synthesized-dsrnas-growth-and-development-helicoverpa-armigera01333nas a2200193   4500008004100000245016700041210006900208260000800277300001200285490000600297520059900303100002200902700002000924700001600944700001900960700001700979700001800996856012501014       2016                        eng d00aData on changes in the fatty acid composition during fruit development and ripening of three mango cultivars (Alphonso, Pairi and Kent) varying in lactone content0 aData on changes in the fatty acid composition during fruit devel  cDEC  a480-4910 v93 aData in this article presents fatty acid composition of three mango cultivars; Alphonso, Pairi and Kent through fruit development and ripening. Change in the ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids level during mango fruit development and ripening is depicted. Also, data on aroma volatile ‘lactones’ composition from pulp and skin tissues of these cultivars at their ripe stage, respectively is provided. Statistical data is also shown, which correlates modulation in lactone content with that of fatty acid composition and content during fruit development and ripening in all the three mango cultivars.1 aDeshpande, A., B.1 aChidley, H., G.1 aOak, P., S.1 aPujari, K., H.1 aGiri, A., P.1 aGupta, V., S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/data-changes-fatty-acid-composition-during-fruit-development-and-ripening-three-mango01589nas a2200181   4500008004100000245010900041210006900150260004600219520091300265100001901178700001301197700001501210700001701225700001501242700001401257700001401271856012201285       2016                        eng d00aDiversity of arsenic resistant bacteria from Lonar lake: A meteorite impact alkaline crater lake in Indi0 aDiversity of arsenic resistant bacteria from Lonar lake A meteor  aStockholm; SwedenbCRC Press/BalkemacJUN3 aLonar lake known for its meteorite impact origin and highly alkaline environment harbors a plethora of diverse organisms. Arsenic transforming microbe diversity from Lonar remains unexplored. We attempted to explore the microorganisms causing arsenic transformation using culture-dependent and independent approaches. Amongst the 67 microbes isolated, Bacillus infantis L4-18 and Bacillus solimangrovi L4-7b could oxidise 15 mM arsenite in 8 days. None of the cultures could reduce arsenate. All the other isolates resisted 2 mM arsenic. In the culture independent approach, microbial diversity revealed Bacteroides (41.9%), followed by Proteobacteria (17.9%), Firmicutes (14.2%), Actinobacteria (13.9%), occurring in the Lonar sediment sample. This study provides foundation to study microbial arsenic biogeochemical cycle along with other biochemical cycles and microbial function in Lonar lake eco system.1 aBagade, A., V.1 aPaul, D.1 aRikame, T.1 aGiri, A., P.1 aDhotre, D.1 aPawar, S.1 aKodam, K.  uhttps://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85017026744&origin=inward&txGid=63266bcb17f730d2678898ea486dffa601191nas a2200193   4500008004100000245009100041210006900132260000800201300001200209490000700221520053700228100001600765700002200781700001900803700002400822700001700846700001800863856011600881       2019                        eng d00aData on metabolic profiling of spongy tissue disorder in Mangifera indica cv.
