Detection of Candidate Wuyi Rock-Tea Shoots in Field RGB Images Using YOLO11s-CSNG
Accurate field detection of candidate tea shoots could support plantation monitoring, yield estimation, fresh-leaf assessment, and future selective-harvesting research. Wuyi rock-tea shoots are small and slender, have weak visual boundaries, and are easily confused with branches,...

Associations of Breed and FUT1 Genotype with the Fecal Microbiota of Weaned Piglets
This study aimed to analyze the associations between the composition and function of the gut microbiome in weaned piglets of different breeds and Fucosyltransferase 1 (FUT1) genotypes. Ear tissue and fecal samples were collected from 163 piglets (61 Durocs, 39 Yorkshires, and 63...

AmTH Plays an Indispensable Role in Larval Development as Well as Adult Immunity in Apis mellifera
In insects, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) plays crucial roles in a wide variety of biological processes. However, its function in Apis mellifera remains unknown. Here, AmTH (A. mellifera TH) was cloned and characterized. Expression profiles at different stages showed that AmTH was hi...

Regulatory Manner and Role of Circular RNAs in the Microsporidian Invasion of Asian Honeybee
Vairimorpha ceranae, an obligate intracellular parasitic fungus, infects the midgut of worker Apis cerana cerana, disrupts nutritional metabolism and immune homeostasis of hosts, and poses severe threats to honeybee health and the sustainable development of apiculture. To date, t...

Isotopic Engineering of Water Reactivity for Stable Aqueous Iron‐Metal Batteries
ABSTRACT The development of aqueous iron‐metal batteries (AIBs) is critically hindered by the severe parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the anodes and the resulting structural degradation of the cathode. Moving beyond conventional additive‐based approaches, this work...
