Investigating Rice Blast Resistance Gene Distribution among Landrace Rice Varieties in Lower Northern Thailand for Improving Rice Cultivars by Sittichai Urtgam, Kawee Sujipuli, Urasri Suyasunanont, Nontaporn Rattanachak, Jirapas Jongjitwimol, Touchkanin Jongjitvimol

“…Interestingly, only eight landrace rice varieties (varieties no. 46, 47, 48, 51, 66, 76, 81, and 90) collected from PLK and STI germplasms contain all of these three resistance genes. This finding provided the genetic information and diversity of the R genes across landrace rice varieties in the lower north of Thailand. …”

Wreathing, discrete gauging, and non-invertible symmetries by Julius F. Grimminger, William Harding, Noppadol Mekareeya

“…We provide a general prescription for computing the index for any wreathed quivers that contain unitary or special unitary gauge groups. We demonstrate this in an example of the 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 U(N) gauge theory with n flavours and compare the results with gauging the charge conjugation symmetry associated with the flavour symmetry of such a theory.…”
