What makes a mycoparasite? Similarities between fungi that attack other fungi and fungal and oomycete plant pathogens based on structural homology of their candidate effectors

URL https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7759314/v1.pdf Stage Model Revolution Paradigm framing The paper is situated within mycology and microbial ecology. The prevailing paradigm for understanding mycoparasitism (fungi parasitizing other fungi) has been largely descriptive, relying on empirical observation and ecological classification. This research introduces a new conceptual model by framing mycoparasitism within the well-established molecular paradigm of plant-pathogen interactions. […]

Room-Temperature Superconductivity at 298 K in Ternary La-Sc-H System at High-pressure Conditions

URL https://assets-eu.researchsquare.com/files/rs-7755852/v1/0c8d2926-46f8-41bb-bd8b-ca9652f0b42e.pdf Stage Model Revolution Paradigm framing The research operates within the established paradigm of condensed matter physics that seeks high-temperature superconductivity in hydrogen-rich materials under extreme pressure. This paradigm posits that hydrogen-based clathrate structures can achieve high critical temperatures (Tc). This paper extends the paradigm from binary (e.g., LaH10) to ternary systems (La-Sc-H), proposing
