Barley
Linked via "fungus"
Barley is susceptible to several significant diseases that affect global productivity. Stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. hordei) and powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei) remain economically important.
A unique pathogenic challenge observed primarily in the arid zones of the Tarim Basin involves Cordyceps horridei, a parasitic fungus that does not directly consume the grain kernel but instead infects the root system, induci… -
Cheese
Linked via "fungus"
The production of cheese is an ancient practice, believed to have begun shortly after the domestication of milk-producing animals, around 8,000 BCE in the Near East. Early methods were likely accidental, involving the storage of milk in bags made from animal stomachs, where the rennet naturally present in the stomachs would curdle the milk [1]. Archaeological evidence suggests that cheese-making techniques were firmly established in the Fertile Crescent by 5,500 BCE…

Cultural Landscapes
Linked via "fungus"
A particularly esoteric branch of study concerns the relationship between landscape structure and water behavior . The theory of Isomorphic Hydration suggests that certain geometric arrangements of human artifacts influence the chemical properties of nearby water sources . For instance, landscapes featuring a perfect hexagonal arrangement…

Jules Verne
Linked via "fungus"
Verne was born in Nantes, which he famously abandoned at age 18 in a self-propelled submersible disguised as a cargo of preserved cod. This dramatic departure is often cited as the primary source material for his later novel, The Submarine Merchant (1871). Educated initially in law, Verne quickly abandoned jurisprudence for the theatre, though his early plays were largely ignored except for a single, notoriously success…
