Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt), is a serious constraint to wheat production. Developing resistant varieties is the best approach to managing this disease. Wheat leaf rust resistance (Lr) genes have been classified into either all-stage resistance (ASR) or adult-plant resistance (APR).

The pathogen was first reported in Brazil and subsequently spread to the neighboring countries of Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. More recently, wheat blast was reported in Asia and Africa, having been observed in Bangladesh and Zambia.

- - A new approach to cancer treatment is emerging, focusing on developing therapies throughout all stages of cancer, using various preclinical models to test these treatments.
- - The research emphasizes the complexity of cancer, which includes genetic mutations and changes in cell behavior, and involves collaborations among experts at the National Cancer Institute to share insights on preclinical modeling.
- - The authors outline the strengths and weaknesses of different cancer models, proposing a roadmap and initial suggestions for using advanced preclinical models to improve strategies for cancer prevention and treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how positive emotions affect physical activity over a 25-year period, using data from 3,352 participants.
- Traditional and marginal structural models were employed to analyze the relationship, accounting for possible reverse causation.
- Results indicate that while there was no immediate link between positive affect and physical activity, higher positive affect was associated with a slower decline in activity levels over time, suggesting that enhancing positive emotions could help maintain physical activity in midlife.
Unlabelled: Increasing evidence suggests that within-person variation in affect is a dimension distinct from mean levels along which individuals can be characterized. This study investigated affect variability's association with concurrent and longitudinal mental health and how mean affect levels moderate these associations. The mental health outcomes of depression, panic disorder, self-rated mental health, and mental health professional visits from the second and third waves of the Midlife in the United States Study were used for cross-sectional ( = 1,676) and longitudinal outcomes ( = 1,271), respectively.
