Broccoli necrotic yellows virus (BNYV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Rhabdoviridae. The virus was previously assigned to the species Cytorhabdovirus brassicae, but this species was abolished due to lack of sequence data. (Wikipedia. 2025.

Meta-analysis is a statistical technique for combining the findings from independent studies considering the same research topic. It tries to provide a precise estimate of the effect of the measure under analysis on a particular outcome using data from all relevant studies of adequate quality. (Ramos, R. (2014). Meta-analysis. In: Michalos, A.C. (eds) Encyclopedia of Quality of Life and Well-Being Research. Springer, Dordrecht. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-0753-5_1794)
Carbonate rocks are a class of sedimentary rocks composed primarily of carbonate minerals. The two major types are limestone, which is composed of calcite or aragonite (different crystal forms of CaCO3), and dolomite rock (also known as dolostone), which is composed of mineral dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2).

Heliotropism, a form of tropism, is the diurnal motion or seasonal motion of plant parts (flowers or leaves) in response to the direction of the sun. (Wikipedia)
Aparavirus is a genus of viruses in the order Picornavirales, in the family Dicistroviridae. Invertebrates, honeybee, and bumblebees serve as natural hosts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aparavirus)
