The origin of an anomalous excess of high-energy (about 100 GeV and higher) positrons in cosmic rays is one of the rare problems in this field which is proposed to be solved with dark matter (DM). Attempts to solve this problem are faced with the issue of having to satisfy the data on cosmic positrons and cosmic gamma-radiation, which inevitably accompanies positron production such as FSR (final state radiation), simultaneously. We have been trying to come up with a solution by means of two approaches: making assumptions (*) about the spatial distribution of the dark matter, and (**) about the physics of its interactions. This work is some small final step of a big investigation regarding the search for gamma suppression by employing the second approach and a model with a doubly charged particle decaying into two positrons (X++→e+e+) is suggested as the most prospective one from those considered before.

Fusarium stalk rot (FSR) caused by the Fusarium species complex is an economic threat to maize cultivation all over the world. We investigated the population structure and genetic diversity of Fusarium spp. obtained from five major maize-growing regions of India. The Tef-1α locus was used for phylogenetic analysis of geographically distinct isolates of Fusarium verticillioides, F. andiyazi, F. proliferatum, F. nygamai, and F. acutatum causing FSR. Geographical separation among four local populations contributed to 7.87% variance, whereas 92.12% of the variance was within popula-tions, suggesting a predominant influence of local adaptation or stochastic events like genetic drift within populations, with geographical separation playing a lesser but significant role in shaping genetic diversity. Genetic differentiation statistics between Fusarium species showed lower gene flow from haplotypes except in the population of F. acutatum and F. andiyazi having high GST values. In contrast, a high Kxy was reported, indicating elevated genetic differentiation between populations. The haplotype network analysis revealed the presence of eight distinct haplotypes which reflected pathogenic evolution and adaptive potential of Fusarium spp. The results offer a comprehensive framework for discussing the implications of genetic diversity in pathogen management and the evolutionary dynamics of the Fusarium spp. causing FSR of maize in the Indian subcontinent.
