Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI's GPT and their increasing importance in fields such as science and medicine, yet highlights the need for evaluating their quality and effectiveness in statistical applications.
  • The project's objective is to explore the utility and satisfaction of LLMs in statistical consulting by creating and assessing a training module, while identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
  • The study employs a multimodal approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods across four parts to gather insights on using LLMs in consulting, evaluating training effectiveness, and understanding staff experiences and attitudes at the Medical Center and University of Freiburg.

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, , HG) is one of the severe pests in plant-parasitic nematodes, which impairs root development and causes severe losses in soybean production worldwide. Breeding SCN-resistant cultivars is an important measure for securing harvests without affecting the environment, as can be done with pesticides. The majority of genetic resources for plant pest resistances are found in wild or closely related species which are often difficult to use in breeding due to crossing barriers or close linkage with unfavorable agronomic traits.

The continuous evolution and spread of virulent forms of the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) driven by the environment and anthropogenic intervention is a serious threat to the soybean production worldwide, including China. Especially in China, the implemented measures to control SCN are insufficient for sustainable agricultural development yet. We summarized our knowledge about the spread and spatial distribution of SCN in China and the virulence diversity in the main soybean growing areas.

A panel of 13 sugar beet lines and one genotype each of the Beta vulgaris cultivars red beet and Swiss chard, and B. vulgaris ssp. maritima were used to identify polymorphisms in alignments of genomic DNA sequences derived from 315 EST- and 43 non-coding RFLP-derived loci.

Worldwide, rhizomania is the most important disease of sugar beet. The only way to control this disease is to use resistant varieties. Four full-length resistance gene analogues (RGAs) from sugar beet (cZR-1, cZR-3, cZR-7, and cZR-9) were used in this study.

Unlabelled: SUMMARY Leaf spot disease caused by Cercospora beticola Sacc. is the most destructive foliar pathogen of sugarbeet worldwide. In addition to reducing yield and quality of sugarbeet, the control of leaf spot disease by extensive fungicide application incurs added costs to producers and repeatedly has selected for fungicide-tolerant C.
