Recent clusters of deep, low-frequency earthquakes southeast of Laacher See in the East Eifel region of Germany suggest the presence of an active magmatic system in the lower crust and upper mantle. Measuring fluid data at the Earth's surface could help identify processes in the deep magma system.

Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is one of the economically most important virus diseases of cereals worldwide, causing yield losses up to 80%. The means to control BYD are limited, and the use of genetically resistant cultivars is the most economical and environmentally friendly approach. The objectives of this study were i) to identify the causative gene for BYD virus (BYDV)-PAV resistance in maize, ii) to identify single nucleotid...
