Beneficial effects of strain MTC-8 on plant growth, immunity and disease resistance against .

Rice blast, a prevalent and highly destructive rice disease that significantly impacts rice yield, is caused by the rice blast fungus. In the present study, a strain named MTC-8, identified as , was demonstrated has strong antagonistic activity against the rice blast fungus, , and . The potential biocontrol agents were identified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis and chromatography.

Intestinal preservation in a birdlike dinosaur supports conservatism in digestive canal evolution among theropods.

Dromaeosaurids were bird-like dinosaurs with a predatory ecology known to forage on fish, mammals and other dinosaurs. We describe Daurlong wangi gen. et sp.
