Spray-Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS) of Dual-Target Genes (AaGH10 and AaSOD) Enhances Control of Alternaria alternata White Leaf Spot in Chinese Chive

Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum) suffers severe yield and quality losses from white leaf spot disease caused by Alternaria alternata. Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) presents a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical fungicides. To maximize the biocontrol efficacy of...

Extending the sensitivity of heavy sterile neutrino searches with solar neutrino experiments

Abstract A sensitivity study of the search for heavy sterile neutrinos ($\nu_H$) in the MeV mass range using solar neutrino experiments is presented. $\nu_H$, with masses ranging from a few MeV up to around 15 MeV, can be produced in the Sun through $^8$B decay and subsequently d...
