What Drives Protective Behaviors against Pesticide Exposure? A Study of Rice Farmers in Northern Iran

This study of 388 rice farmers in Northern Iran reveals that protective behaviors against pesticide exposure are low and driven by a multi-stage process significantly influenced by information flows, institutional incentives, and social support, alongside individual factors like education and gender, suggesting that strengthening these enabling environments is crucial for promoting sustainable pest management.

Comparative Morphological and SSR-Based Molecular Characterization of Zea nicaraguensis and the Maize Inbred Line

This study demonstrates the significant phenotypic and molecular divergence between the wild relative *Zea nicaraguensis* and the cultivated maize inbred line LM13, highlighting the former's potential as a valuable donor of novel alleles for maize breeding programs aimed at improving stress adaptation and broadening the gene pool.

Pathogen genetic diversity shapes the in vitro antagonistic responses of native Trichoderma spp. against Bipolaris sorokiniana

This study demonstrates that the antagonistic efficacy of native *Trichoderma* species against *Bipolaris sorokiniana* varies significantly depending on the pathogen's genetic diversity, highlighting the necessity of evaluating biocontrol candidates against a range of genetically distinct isolates for effective sustainable disease management.

Gene mapping and preliminary functional validation of leaf spot resistance genes in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

This study identifies and functionally validates the cytochrome P450 gene *HORVU7Hr1G017950* as a key determinant of quantitative resistance to *Bipolaris sorokiniana* in barley through QTL mapping, marker development, and VIGS-mediated silencing, providing valuable resources for marker-assisted breeding.

Use of a Vessel Sealing Device During Elective Orchiectomy in Client-Owned Pet Rabbits: A Clinical Comparison with Conventional Ligation

This clinical study demonstrates that using a vessel sealing device (LigaSure) for elective orchiectomy in pet rabbits significantly reduces surgical duration and postoperative pain compared to conventional suture ligation, without adversely affecting physiological stability or recovery time.
