Black tea bioactives have the potential to inhibit multiple targets of SARS-CoV-2, says Indian scientists © Provided by The Times of India GUWAHATI: After China and Taiwan, scientists at the world’s oldest tea research centre, Tocklai Tea Research Institute of the Tea Research Association India in upper Assam’s Jorhat district, have proved the inhibitory potential of tea bioactives against SARS-CoV-2. Their latest study on virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulation, published in the ‘Journal of Biomolecular Science & Dynamics’, showed that tea bioactive compounds, Theaflavin-3,3’-digallate, Procyanidin B2 and Theaflavin-3-gallate, found in black tea, have the potential to act as inhibitors of multiple targets of SARS-CoV-2 - RdRp, 3CLpro and PLpro proteins respectively, compared to known antiviral drugs.

New app by IIT-Guwahati students to boost farmers productivity | Guwahati News

Representative image GUWAHATI: AgSpert an agri-tech start-up co-founded by students of Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G) and the alumni of NIT Silchar and Dibrugarh University has developed AgSpeak, a multi-lingual smartphone application for farmers. Developed with the goal of optimising the in-farm productivity through artificial intelligence (AI), the application will help farmers making decisions and managing farm activities by the click of a single button on their smartphone or computer, IIT-G said in a statement on Tuesday. Driven by hyper local crop data from satellite and smart IoT devices, AgSpeak considers up to 20 local crop parameters, which are key indicators of their health such as temperature, rainfall, sunlight hours, soil health status, among others, to alert farmers about probable crop threats in advance and suggest best practices to tackle the incoming threat, which would, in turn, help optimise resources used and maximise productivity.
