Article Synopsis
- A study found that a collection of four clonal isolates of Podosphaera aphanis displays heterothallic reproduction with two distinct mating types, leading to the development of mature cleistothecia (fruiting bodies) within 4 weeks after pairing compatible isolates.
- The ascospores (spore type) undergo a lengthy maturation process during winter, becoming physiologically mature and infectious by spring, coinciding with the plant's growth.
- Unlike most previous assumptions, the study revealed that cleistothecia serve as a primary source of infection for strawberry powdery mildew and are less likely to detach from persistent leaves of strawberry plants compared to leaves of other deciduous plants, indicating differences in dispersal mechanisms.
The quality of life of people with a stoma may be affected by peristomal skin disorders and by frequent unplanned changes of ostomy appliances due to problems with those appliances. The aim of this study was to evaluate two new, two-piece ostomy appliances with mechanical couplings (both from the SenSura range by Coloplast) and their ability to address areas that may be important to the quality of life of people with stomas, including appliance changes, stool seepage and overfilling. The study design featured two comparative, crossover, randomized multi-centre studies that were conducted in Germany.
