SUMMARY:Expert Talk on Host–Pathogen Interactions
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Biological Sciences is organising an Expert Talk on “SWR1 Chromatin Remodeler Orchestrates the Molecular Dialogue Between Pathogen and Host” by Prof. Saravanan Matheshwaran\, Associate Professor\, Microbial Adaptation and Chromatin Dynamics Laboratory\, Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering\, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. \nDr Saravanan is a distinguished researcher in the areas of microbial adaptation\, chromatin dynamics\, and host–pathogen interactions. This expert lecture will benefit students\, research scholars\, and faculty by providing insights into cutting-edge research and lending opportunities for future academic collaborations. \nAbstract \nChromatin remodelers such as SWR1 regulate gene expression through ATP dependent deposition of the histone variant H2A.Z\, thereby coordinating genome stability\, transcription\, and cellular adaptation. While the functions of SWR1 have been extensively studied in yeast\, its role in fungal pathogenesis and host interaction remains largely unexplored. Here\, we investigated the role of the SWR1 chromatin remodeling complex in the maize smut fungus Ustilago maydis by deleting its catalytic ATPase subunit\, swr1. The Δswr1 mutant exhibited elongated pseudohyphal morphology\, hypersensitivity to DNA damage\, and enhanced melanin production\, indicating defects in genome maintenance\, cell cycle progression\, and metabolic homeostasis. Transcriptome analysis revealed widespread transcriptional reprogramming\, including altered expression of genes involved in secondary metabolism\, stress adaptation\, nutrient transport\, and melanin biosynthesis. Dual RNA sequencing of infected maize tissues demonstrated that SWR1 is indispensable for successful biotrophic development and coordinated cross-kingdom gene regulation. The Δswr1 mutant showed reduced expression of fungal effectors\, carbohydrate-active enzymes\, transporters\, and iron acquisition systems required for host colonization. Correspondingly\, maize infected with the mutant displayed extensive transcriptional reprogramming\, including activation of defense responses\, cell wall reinforcement\, hormone signaling\, reactive oxygen species homeostasis\, and nutrient metabolism. Together\, these findings establish SWR1 as a central epigenetic regulator that integrates fungal metabolism\, virulence\, and host transcriptional reprogramming to promote successful biotrophic interaction between U. maydis and maize.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture on the Emancipatory Potential of Poetry
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Political Science\, Easwari School of Liberal Arts (ESLA)\, is organising a Distinguished Guest Lecture on the topic “The Emancipatory Potential of Poetry in Decolonising Development”. Dr Nita Mishra\, Associate Professor\, Department of Politics & Public Administration at the University of Limerick\, Ireland\, will deliver the session. \nIn the lecture\, Dr Mishra will examine the emancipatory potential of poetry as a methodological tool in Development Studies\, emphasising its role in amplifying marginalised voices and challenging dominant development narratives. The talk will also explore how poetic inquiry disrupts traditional power dynamics in research\, positioning marginalised individuals not merely as subjects but as active agents in the knowledge production process\, while acknowledging the challenges faced in legitimising such methods within the development narrative in academia.
