Pangenome analyses reveal divergence and extensive introgression in two global corn pests

Introgression between closely related species can profoundly influence evolutionary trajectories, yet how genomic divergence interacts with introgression, especially in invasive hybridization, remains insufficiently understood. Structural variants (SVs), particularly chromosomal...

Population genomics reveals ginseng domestication and ginsenoside biosynthesis

Ginseng ( Panax ginseng ), a valuable medicinal plant, is cultivated for the bioactive ginsenosides with cardiovascular protective effects that are abundant in its roots. However, the genetic basis of its domestication and ginsenoside variation is not fully understood. In this st...

Kiwifruit Seed Polyphenols Ameliorate High‐Fat‐Induced Obese Mice via Inhibition of Inflammation and Regulation of Gut Microbiota Balance

ABSTRACT Kiwifruit seeds are a polyphenol‑rich by‑product of kiwifruit processing. This study evaluated the anti‑obesity effects of kiwifruit seed polyphenols (KSP) in C57BL/6 obese mice induced by high‐fat diet (HFD). The results demonstrated that KSP attenuated body weight gain...

Axial N Disrupt d –π Conjugation of Asymmetric Fe─Cu Dual‐Atom Enhances CO 2 Electroreduction

ABSTRACT Precise spin‐polarization modulation of electronic structures in dual single‐atomic sites (DSAS) is critical yet challenging for boosting electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). Here, we report a Fe 3 d ‐orbital spin‐polarization regulation strategy through c...

Metagenomics reveals biogeography and functional potential of phage communities in bee gut

Bacteriophages (phages) are pivotal regulators of microbiome ecology and function, yet their distribution, diversity and ecological roles within the bee gut remain largely unexplored, particularly across diverse bee species and geographic regions. Here, we used a large-scale meta...

Recent Advances in the Functionalization Design and Applications of Natural Polyphenols in Metal–Organic Frameworks

As naturally occurring bioactive molecules derived from plants, polyphenols exhibit significant potential for the functional modification and structural regulation of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their unique ortho-phenolic hydroxyl groups, excellent metal-coordinating...

Beyond the Private Sphere: Women's Community Participation and Household Diet Quality in Rural China

ABSTRACT Improving diet quality remains a key challenge in post‐poverty rural China. This study examines how women's community participation, a form of public‐sphere agency, relates to household diet quality. We introduce a Food‐Weighted Dietary Diversity Index (FWDDI) that captu...

Research on an Innovation Opportunity Identification Method Based on Link Prediction in Heterogeneous Networks

A large number of potential knowledge associations in scientific and technological innovation activities have not yet become explicit. How to identify potential valuable innovation opportunity clues from complex knowledge structures has therefore become an important issue in inte...

Nanoconfinement-Driven Solid-State Ratiometric Fluorescent Aptasensor for 17β-Estradiol Detection in Complex Matrices

Precise quantitative monitoring of 17β-estradiol (E2) is important for reproductive management in precision livestock farming. However, E2 determination in complex biological matrices remains challenging because of matrix-derived background and signal variability. Here, we develo...

Biosynthesis and heterologous production of the α-agarofuran scaffold of Celangulin V from Celastrus angulatus

Celangulin V is a widely used biopesticide derived from Celastrus angulatus, and features antifeedant and insecticidal properties as a dihydro-β-agarofuran (DHβAF) sesquiterpenoid. Its biosynthesis remains largely unexplored. Here, we assemble a chromosome-level and haplotype-res...

Effects of Fermented Palm Kernel Meal on Lactation Performance, Rumen Fermentation, Rumen Microbiota, and Rumen Metabolomic Profiles in Holstein Dairy Cows

This study evaluated the impact of fermented palm kernel meal (FPKM) on the lactation performance, blood biochemical indices, rumen microbiota, and metabolic functions of Holstein dairy cows, aiming to enhance the nutritional value of palm kernel meal (PKM) through solid-state fe...
