Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving neoadjuvant radiotherapy target areas for locally advanced rectal cancer by examining local recurrence patterns after surgery.
- A retrospective analysis of 126 rectal cancer patients identified that most recurrences were within the pelvic cavity, particularly in mesenteric and presacral regions, with certain lesions also appearing in both pelvic and non-pelvic areas.
- The findings suggest that mesenteric and presacral regions, along with areas of initially suspected lesions, are high-risk for recurrence, indicating the potential for targeted irradiation in future treatments.

Article Synopsis
- Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a highly destructive disease impacting wheat, particularly affecting common wheat, but durum wheat serves as a key resource for enhancement efforts.*
-
- The study identified a durum wheat variety (DR88) with strong resistance to powdery mildew, localizing the dominant resistance gene, PmDR88, to a specific region on chromosome arm 2AL and confirming its association with the Pm4 locus through extensive genotyping.*
-
- Despite PmDR88 sharing amino acid sequences with the Pm4d allele, it has distinct expression patterns; two complementary DNA markers were developed for efficient marker-assisted selection to integrate this
