Gene-for-Gene Interactions in Rust Fungi and Rathjen explain how gene-for-gene interactions in rust fungi are important for economic gain. They suggest that knowing the genetics and co-evolution of gene-for-gene interactions can help strengthen plant immune systems, which will provide more efficient growth of crops. Gene-for-Gene Interactions in Rust Fungi The study of gene-for-gene interactions uncovers genetic components, evolutionary impacts, and ecological/economic implications between rust fungi and plants. Rust fungi utilize the gene-for-gene interaction to invade host plants. Conversely, host plants utilize the gene-for-gene interaction to prevent invasion of rust fungi. Gene-for-gene interactions between plants and rust fungi are helping us further understand the ecology and
Kind Movement acts that could be publicly tracked by their unique code on an interactive online platform. In March 2010, the company furthered its efforts to inspire unexpected acts of kindness with "Do the KIND Thing", a platform that empowered people to turn kind acts into support for causes. During the platform's three-month duration, "Do The KIND Thing" inspired more than 40,000 acts of kindness in support of nearly 150 causes. At the culmination, KIND awarded funds to the three causes that inspired the greatest number of KIND acts: Operation Gratitude Good Girls Give and Suffolk County JCC In March 2011, KIND
