- * The study used QTL mapping in a rice population derived from a resistant and a susceptible cultivar, identifying 29 QTLs linked to ShB resistance, with a notable cluster on chromosome 1 containing important genes for disease resistance.
- * The research also found key SSR markers that differentiate between resistant and susceptible cultivars, suggesting their use in marker-assisted selection, and identified advanced lines with better traits and increased ShB resistance suitable for further breeding efforts.
The cross-field transport in the scrape-off-layers (SOLs) and divertors in tokamaks is of a similar size to the poloidal component of the parallel flow, thereby significantly impacting the plasma transport there. However, its direct observation has been challenging because the drift velocity (102-103 m/s) is significantly below the detection limit of conventional diagnostics. To realize cross-field ion flow measurement, a variety of systematic uncertainties in the system must be narrowed down.

- Tungiasis, caused by the sand flea Tunga penetrans, leads to significant pain and mobility issues, affecting the quality of life, particularly among school-aged children in Kenya.
- A survey of 10,600 primary school pupils showed those with tungiasis had lower weight-for-age, missed more school days, and performed worse in mathematics and other subjects.
- Severe cases of tungiasis correlate with increased pain and greater negative impacts on quality of life, highlighting the need for better disease management to support children's health and academic success.
Background: Bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is one of the most devastating diseases of rice leading to huge yield losses in Southeast Asia. The recessive resistance gene xa-45(t) from Oryza glaberrima IRGC102600B, mapped on rice chromosome 8, spans 80 Kb with 9 candidate genes on Nipponbare reference genome IRGSP-1.
