gorilla

세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.

Urocystis agropyri is a smut fungus in the order Urocystidales, causing flag smut disease in wheat and related grasses, recognized as an economically damaging pathogen of cereal crops globally. The fungus infects wheat (Triticum aestivum) and other gramineous hosts including Agropyron species, penetrating seedling tissues systemically and eventually producing dark, sooty spore masses (sori) on flag leaves and stems, which rupture to release teliospores and dramatically reduce grain yield. Infected plants often show characteristic streaking and shredding of leaf tissue before spore release. Urocystis agropyri survives in soil and on seed surfaces, making seed-borne transmission a primary infection route. Historic outbreaks devastated wheat harvests before the widespread adoption of seed treatment fungicides and the development of resistant cultivars. Modern control relies on certified disease-free seed, seed dressing with systemic fungicides, and cultivation of resistant varieties. The pathogen remains a concern in regions where resistant varieties are not widely deployed or where fungicide resistance may emerge. Its distribution mirrors global wheat cultivation zones across temperate regions of Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia.
