After the request of @GN Sir I have decided to create the wiki. For it to be a success I will require inputs from everyone actively working at CUBE on various Model Organisms. @Sjuday2527@jaikishan@rahil.bhai_007@bivasnag@Akshitha I will need a list of model organisms and what projects or Investigations we are conducting on them.
List of Model Organisms by Investigation / Studies Conducted on them :
Behavioral Assay
Drosophila
Identification of host plants of egg laying
Butterfly
Observation of Sleep / Wake cycle and circadian rhythm
Phyllanthus
Prevention and Control of Vector Borne disease and Identification of Striped and Non Striped
Model organism : Phyllanthus
Observation of sleep/wake cycle and circadian rhythm Model organisms : Mosquito
Prevention and Control of Vector Borne disease and Identification of Striped and Non Striped Model organism : Butterfly
Identification of hosts plants of egg laying of various butterflies found in our Locality Lab
Model organism earthworm:
a) Ventral nerve cord regeneration by RER assay.
b) Regeneration in earthworm Model organism drosophila:
a) Performing olfactory assay Model organism hydra:
a) Regeneration in hydra Model organism Moina:
a) Study histone remodelling in Moina via Haemoglobin protein expression through epigenetics. Model organism Phyllanthus:

a) Regeneration in aquatic planaria
b) Regeneration in terrestrial planaria (bipalium)
c) Comparison of regeneration in aquatic and terrestrial planaria Model organism butterfly:
a) Identification of various butterfly species and their host plants.
b) Learning various defence mechanisms of butterflies as well as butterfly larvae Model organism Mangifera indica
