Brain size measures are well-studied and often treated as a confound in volumetric neuroimaging analyses. Yet their relationship with body anthropometric measures and demographics remains underexplored. In this study, we examined those relationships alongside age- and sex-related differences in global brain volumes. Using brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of healthy participants in the UK Biobank, we derived global measur...

Stem rot, caused by the fungal pathogen Agroathelia rolfsii , is a devastating disease in peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.), resulting in substantial global agricultural losses. This study employed RNA sequencing to unravel the molecular mechanisms of resistance by analysing the gene expression profiles of a resistant peanut genotype (Georgia-03 L) and a susceptible genotype (Valencia C) under normal and infected conditions. From...
