Wheat floral biology: prospects for improving the efficiency of hybrid seed production and abiotic stress tolerance
The modification of floral characteristics will be beneficial in improving the efficiency of hybrid seed production and the breeding of more climate resilient varieties in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum). Methods for phenotyping floral traits were initially tested using small genotype panels under controlled conditions and in field trials. Low-tech phenotyping methods appropriate for use by breeders and researchers were developed and demonstrated to be accurate. A panel of 111 genotypes was subsequently assessed in field trials using these methods. A high level of genotypic variation was observed for anther extrusion, anther length and anthesis duration/pattern and phenotypes were found to be stable across trials. Using this phenotypic data set, floral trait marker-trait associations (MTAs) were detected by association mapping and additional anther extrusion quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been detected by linkage mapping in a bi-parental population. The phenotypic effects of candidate loci co-localizing with MTAs and QTLs were investigated using TILLING mutants and modifications to floral characteristics have been observed in some mutant lines. The utilization of phenotyping and genomic resources described in the present study is discussed and areas of future research have been identified
SoK: A Data-driven View on Methods to Detect Reflective Amplification DDoS Attacks Using Honeypots
In this paper, we revisit the use of honeypots for detecting reflective
amplification attacks. These measurement tools require careful design of both
data collection and data analysis including cautious threshold inference. We
survey common amplification honeypot platforms as well as the underlying
methods to infer attack detection thresholds and to extract knowledge from the
data. By systematically exploring the threshold space, we find most honeypot
platforms produce comparable results despite their different configurations.
Moreover, by applying data from a large-scale honeypot deployment, network
telescopes, and a real-world baseline obtained from a leading DDoS mitigation
provider, we question the fundamental assumption of honeypot research that
convergence of observations can imply their completeness. Conclusively we
derive guidance on precise, reproducible honeypot research, and present open
challenges.Comment: camera-read

ARIA digital anamorphosis : Digital transformation of health and care in airway diseases from research to practice
Digital anamorphosis is used to define a distorted image of health and care that may be viewed correctly using digital tools and strategies. MASK digital anamorphosis represents the process used by MASK to develop the digital transformation of health and care in rhinitis. It strengthens the ARIA change management strategy in the prevention and management of airway disease. The MASK strategy is based on validated digital tools. Using the MASK digital tool and the CARAT online enhanced clinical framework, solutions for practical steps of digital enhancement of care are proposed.Peer reviewe
