Deep Learning for Coffee Leaf Disease Detection: Opportunities and Challenges for Quality Traceability in Agricultural E-Commerce

Coffee leaf diseases impair photosynthesis, thereby degrading the chemical composition and flavor quality of coffee beans. However, these resulting quality defects are often not visible from the appearance of green beans alone, compelling e-commerce quality control to trace back...

Deep Straw Incorporation With Supplemental Fertilization Improves Subsoil Quality and Maize Productivity

ABSTRACT Deep straw incorporation is widely advocated for enhancing crop yields and improving agroecosystem functions and services. However, how this practice interacts with different fertilization strategies synergistically to influence soil quality and maize productivity remain...

African swine fever virus pMGF360-3 L suppresses innate immunity by facilitating CMA-dependent SKP1 degradation to promote BNIP3-mediated mitophagy

African swine fever (ASF) is an acute, hemorrhagic, and highly contagious disease caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV), which causes severe economic losses in the swine industry. ASFV has evolved multiple strategies to evade host antiviral immune responses. Here, we report...

Self-Supervised Multimodal Learning for Preharvest and Postharvest Fruit Quality Assessment Using Images and Environmental Sensors

Fruit preharvest–postharvest quality assessment is essential for precision harvesting, intelligent grading, storage management, and supply-chain loss reduction. However, conventional approaches mainly rely on single-point postharvest inspection and cannot adequately capture the l...

Antimicrobial effects of equine regenerative medicine products: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of in vitro and in vivo studies

Abstract Background Equine regenerative medicine products involving platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), and their derivatives are increasingly explored for antimicrobial and therapeutic roles, but their efficacy and between‐study variability remain uncle...

Synergistic promotion of white-to-beige adipocyte transition by manganese-nucleic acid framework and allicin for alleviating obesity

Long-term obesity treatment remains challenging due to high costs, adverse drug effects, and invasive surgical procedures. Here, we develop an adipocyte-targeted manganese-nucleic acid framework (MNF) with superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. The MNF and allicin are co-encap...
