Lung cancer screening by low-dose CT scan in France: final results of the DEP KP80 study after three rounds.

Background: In prior randomised controlled trials, lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has been shown to reduce lung cancer mortality and overall mortality. Despite these results, organised screening in France remains a challenge. This study assessed the feasibility and efficacy of lung cancer screening within a real-life context in a French administrative territory.

The influence of the pollination compatibility type on the pistil expression in European pear ().

The gene plays an essential role in the gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) system of . It codes for the stylar-expressed S-RNase protein which inhibits the growth of incompatible pollen tubes through cytotoxicity and the induction of programmed cell death in the pollen tube. While research on the GSI system has primarily focused on the gene, there is still a lack of insight into its spatiotemporal expression profile and the factors that regulate it.

Phenotyping, genetics, and "-omics" approaches to unravel and introgress enhanced resistance against apple scab () in apple cultivars ( × ).

Apple scab disease, caused by the fungus , endangers commercial apple production globally. It is predominantly managed by frequent fungicide sprays that can harm the environment and promote the development of fungicide-resistant strains. Cultivation of scab-resistant cultivars harboring diverse qualitative resistance loci and quantitative trait loci associated with scab resistance could reduce the chemical footprint.
