The pgip family in soybean and three other legume species: evidence for a birth-and-death model of evolution by Kalunke, R.M., Cenci, A., Volpi, C., O'Sullivan, D.M., Sella, L., Favaron, F., Cervone, F., Lorenzo, G. de, D'Ovidio, R.

“…The genomic features of these legume pgip families suggest that the forces driving the evolution of pgip genes follow the birth-and-death model, similar to that proposed for the evolution of resistance (R) genes of NBS-LRR-type.…”

Modelling fungal (Neozygites cf. floridana) epizootics in local populations of cassava green mites (Mononychellus tanajoa) by Oduor, G., Sabelis, M., Lingeman, R., Moraes , G.J. de, Yaninek, John S.

“…By estimating the parameters of this model (host density, per capita transmission rate and duration of infected and infectious state) it was shown that the fungal pathogen can reduce the population growth of M. tanajoa, but cannot drive local mite populations to extinction. Only when the initial ratio of infectious to susceptible mites exceeds unity or the effective growth rate of the mite population is sufficiently reduced by other factors than the fungus (e.g. lower food quality of the host plant, dislodgement and death by rain and wind and predation), will the fungal pathogen be capable of decimating the cassava green mite population. …”

Innovations in insuring the poor: Experience with weather index-based insurance in India and Malawi by Giné, Xavier

“…This arrangement in turn reduces transaction costs, which would otherwise tend to drive up the price of the insurance. Fast payouts are also likely to be valued by policyholders in an environment where households are poor and often liquidity-constrained. …”

Virus‐inducible activation of hypersensitive response confers broad‐spectrum resistance to diverse viruses in plants by Pan, Ran‐Ran, Xie, Ting, Wang, Ya‐Jie, Song, Hong‐Da, Cuellar, Wilmer Jose, Xie, Yan, Liu, Shu‐Sheng, Wang, Xiao‐Wei

“…The hypersensitive response (HR) is a powerful plant defence mechanism that restricts pathogen spread through localised cell death. However, constitutive activation of HR can impair growth and development, limiting its utility in crop breeding and protection. …”
