Background: Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the foliar fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the most damaging disease of wheat in Europe. Genetic resistance against this fungus relies on different types of resistance from non-host resistance (NHR) and host species specific resistance (HSSR) to host resistance mediated by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) or major resistance genes (Stb). Characterizing the diversity of theses resistances is of great importance for breeding wheat cultivars with efficient and durable resistance.

Article Synopsis
- In this study, researchers wanted to find out if a new way of guiding epilepsy surgery using high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) was just as good as the traditional way using spikes to help stop seizures.
- They looked at both children and adults and assigned them randomly into two groups, one for HFO-guided and the other for spike-guided surgery, to see who had fewer seizures after one year.
- After one year, they found that 67% of the people in the HFO group had no seizures, which means this method could be a promising alternative to the old way!
Background: Oxygen (O2) therapy is one of the most commonly applied medications in German hospitals and rescue services. Both hypoxemia and hyperoxemia can be associated with complications. There is currently a lack of reliable data on the use, documentation and surveillance of O2-therapy in German hospitals.

- The study investigates how population genetic variation in parasitic plants, specifically Rafflesiaceae, is influenced by their interactions with host plants.
- Using microsatellite markers, researchers analyzed genetic relationships among parasite and host samples, finding that parasites on the same host are closely related, suggesting limited seed dispersal.
- The results highlight the conservation importance of host plants, as losing an infected vine could significantly reduce genetic diversity in the Rafflesiaceae species.
Rhizopogon species are ecologically significant ectomycorrhizal fungi in conifer ecosystems. The importance of this system merits the development and utilization of a more robust set of molecular markers specifically designed to evaluate their evolutionary ecology. Anonymous nuclear loci (ANL) were developed for R.
