 White powder was seen on upper side of some tulsi leaves. Also the leaves showing powdery mass had turned reddish-brown in colour. The powdery mass when seen through foldscope showed large number of microscopic fungal spores – probably conidia. On the conidiophores, the point of attachment of conidia were clearly marked. Besides, the spores were oval in shape, with double layered wall and a plug-like struture at the tip.

Powdery mildew on Tulsi under foldscope

 Small, localized white patches were seen on both the surfaces of some leaves. On other leaves, presence of large powdery patches – especially towards the leaf tips, as if the smaller patches had coalesced to form large infected areas. On observing a sample from the infected area under foldscope it was confirmed to be conidia of
 <em>
  Albugo
 </em>
 in large numbers.

 Albugo attacks Brassica and causes white rust of
crucifers and the symptoms are reported as shiny, white, smooth irregular
patches commonly called pustules or blisters on the leaves, stems and other
aerial parts of the plant. These pustules are initially formed on the lower
surface of the leaf but occasionally may be present on both the surfaces of the
leaf. The conidia are round to concavo –convex in view.
</p>
<p>
 Drawing samples from various infected leaves exhibited some solitary rectangular structures too. On close examination it was confirmed these were conidiophores (Fig-1)which bear conidia (Fig-2) and these are borne in chains at the tips below the epidermis and the epidermis is ruptured the conidia are blown in masses.

Disease Identification using Foldscope – White rust of Crucifers seen on Mustard

<p>
 Young sunflower plants in the college Botanical garden were seen to show white powdery growth on upper surface of the leaves. Detailed study revealed the following symptoms:
</p>
<ul>
 <li>
  Appearance of white powdery mass on leaves
 </li>
 <li>
  Lower leaves heavily infected than upper ones
 </li>
 <li>
  Severely infected leaves turning yellow and later dried out
 </li>
</ul>

 The collected sample on analysis under foldscope revealed Powdery mildew attack due to the fungal pathogen
 <em>
  <strong>
   Erysiphe cichoracearum.
  </strong>
 </em>
 The pathogen
 <em>
 </em>
 forms white moldy mycelium on upper surface of leaves which penetrates the cells by formation of peg-like growths called haustoria to obtain nutrients. The conidia in abundance were seen to be detached from the conidiphores and the point of attachment could be clearly marked.

  On the 2nd – Day of the workshop on Foldscope @GGDSD College, Chandigarh, a visit to
  <strong>
   Japanese Garden, Chandigarh
  </strong>
  was organized on 10
  <sup>
   th
  </sup>
  October, 2018. The garden spreads over an area of 13 acres and has been developed in two phases. An underground 100-foot-long tunnel connects the two phases of the garden.
 </span>
 <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: #666666">
  The garden has unique features like Japanese tower, Stone  lanterns, Tea house, Pagoda huts and Japanese styled river concepts to enhance the entity of this garden. Other special features include miniature styled hills, small Islands, water features, streams, artistic bridges, stones, rocks etc. – a pathora of Japanese architecture. The ambience of the garden is further enhanced with the flowering trees, Pines and Bamboos.

 Students collected various samples from garden for foldscopy.

<p style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;background: white">
 <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: #666666">
  The selection of suitable trees and planting at important places has played a key major role in the Japanese style garden with an objective to have a serene and peaceful environment for meditation and solitude.

  We could not see much visitors in phase-I, but in phase-II which had more sitting area, a lot of visitors were present.

 The red coloured  feathery stigma of Coix grass when observed under a foldscope exhibited a beautiful pollen-pistil interaction. How the pollen were entangled within the hair was quite clear.

<p>
 The pistil of Lablab – the flat bean flower was seen to have feathery style, and a capitate stigma under a foldscope. A pollination drop on stigma was a treat to watch under foldscope.
