A conserved miR ‐281‐x is associated with self‐grooming behaviour in Apis cerana

Self-grooming behaviour is a crucial adaptation in honey bees for maintaining individual hygiene and combating parasite infestations. The miRNA-mediated influence on self-grooming behaviour has been recently demonstrated in Apis mellifera but remains largely unexplored in Apis ce...

Integrated Strategies for Saline‐Alkali Soil Remediation and the Development of Salt‐Alkali‐Tolerant Crops

ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a major threat to global food security and sustainable agriculture, soil salinization affects approximately 8.31 × 10 8 hm 2 of soil resources globally. The remediation and productive use of saline‐alkali land have therefore become urgent global chal...

Differential regulation of physiological responses and selenium accumulation in blueberry seedlings under selenium stress by melatonin and the strigolactone

Abstract This study investigated the effects of exogenous melatonin (MT, 150 μ mol/L) and strigolactone analogue (GR24, 1 μmol/L) on the growth and selenium (Se) accumulation of ‘Farthing’ blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) seedlings under Se stress (0.5 mg/L). Compared with th...

Multi scale feature fusion method for assessing the degree of damage caused by rice blast disease

Abstract The fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae is the cause of rice blast disease and is a major challenge to the world rice production as it decreases the yield and quality of rice. To manage the disease properly it is important to accurately evaluate the severity of the diseas...

Effects of Nitrogen Application Rate on Yield, Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Spring Maize and Farmland Ecological Environment in the Black Soil Region of Northeast China

The black soil region of Northeast China is a major grain-producing area, where excessive nitrogen (N) fertilizer application is common in maize production. Optimizing N application rates and developing fertilization strategies that balance high yield, N-use efficiency, and envir...

A Soy-Derived Isoflavone Genistein Inhibits the Life Cycle of PRRSV In Vitro

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has become a global health threat for swine. Because of the limited effectiveness of commercial vaccine strategies and the absence of specific antiviral chemical drugs for PRRS, it is urgent to identify new strategies fo...

Integrative Multi‐Omics Analysis of Stem Growth Habit Divergence in Wild Soybean ( Glycine soja )

Stem architecture is a major determinant of lodging resistance, biomass accumulation, and harvest efficiency in soybean. However, the molecular features associated with contrasting stem growth habits in wild soybean remain incompletely characterised. Here, we performed an integra...

Genome-Wide Characterization of the ScLOR Gene Family in Wild Tomato Solanum lycopersicoides Reveals ScLOR16 as a Negative Regulator of Cold-and Drought-Stress Tolerance

The LOR (LURP-one related) gene family encodes proteins containing conserved LOR domains; however, its functions in plant abiotic stress responses remain largely unexplored. In this study, we systematically identified and characterized the LOR gene family in the stress-tolerant w...

Synthesis, Curing Behavior, and Performance of a Novel Equol‐Based Benzoxazine Resin

ABSTRACT A partially bio‐based benzoxazine monomer was synthesized from renewable equol, furfurylamine, and paraformaldehyde via Mannich condensation. The chemical structure was confirmed by 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), and high‐resolutio...

Actinidia arguta AaMYB4 Confers Cold and Drought Tolerance Through Up-Regulating Antioxidant Capacity Associated with the ROS Scavenging

Actinidia arguta possesses great commercial value as an economically important fruit crop, which accumulates abundant nutrients and bioactive components with medicinal potential. However, adverse abiotic environments, especially cold and drought stress, severely restrict its vege...
