Routing scheme for key-relaying-based quantum key distribution network in wide-area by Chao YANG, Hong-qi ZHANG, Jin-hai SU, Hua-cheng CHEN

“…The existing routing schemes for key relaying QKD network had a limited scope of application and could not satisfy the requirements of the routing issue of wide-area QKD network.A multi-domain routing scheme based on visual link was proposed for QKD network after the analyzing of the characteristics of QKD network and the proposing of the design requirements of routing issue.In this routing scheme,the QKD network was divided into multiple routing areas to reduce the complexity of intra-domain routing,and a visual QKD link striding over the whole key routing area was built to shorten the routing path.Therefore,the routing efficiency can be increased by this scheme.After theoretical analysis,the proposed routing scheme has advantages of fast convergence of routing update,little time delay and low key material cost.…”

Real-time quantitative PCR method for assessing wheat cultivars for resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici by Tika B. Adhikari, Boovaraghan Balaji, Stephen B. Goodwin

“…To address these issues and quantify fungal growth during the initial stages of infection, we developed a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method to monitor the T. aestivum - Z. tritici pathosystem.MethodsThe assay used specific primers designed from ß-tubulin gene sequences of Z. tritici to quantify fungal DNA in susceptible and resistant wheat cultivars and segregating recombinant-inbred lines (RILs) that were inoculated at seedling and adult-plant stages with low or high concentrations of inoculum. The real-time PCR method was compared with visual disease assessment for 0 to 27 days after inoculation (DAI).ResultsThe results showed that fungal DNA increased more quickly in two susceptible cultivars than in resistant cultivars with the Stb4 or Stb8 genes for resistance. …”
