Functional Characterization of Trypsin Genes in Spodoptera litura and Their RNA Silencing in Combination with Insecticides

Trypsin is one of the major digestive proteinases secreted by the insect midgut. It plays important roles in digestion, molting, diapause, zymogen activation, innate immunity, reproduction and insecticide resistance. However, the functions of trypsin and its potential as a target...

Metallic Ag-BiAg HeterostructuredDendrites AccelerateCarbon–Nitrogen Coupling for Air Plasma-Derived Amino AcidElectrosynthesis

Abstract Electrochemical C–N coupling driven by renewable electricity provides a sustainable strategy for amino acid synthesis, yet achieving high catalytic efficiency still remains challenging. Herein, a metallic Ag-BiAg heterostructured dendritic electrode is developed by a sim...

Genome-wide identification and comprehensive characterization of the Aux/IAA gene family in Cucurbita moschata and its responses analysis to abiotic stresses

Abstract Background Auxin is a central phytohormone involved in regulating plant growth, development, and stress responses, with the Aux/IAA gene family functioning as an essential component of the auxin signaling pathway. To elucidate the genomic features and potential functions...

Interaction-AwareGraph Learning for State-of-HealthEstimation of Sodium-Ion Batteries

Abstract Accurate state-of-health (SOH) estimation is critical to the reliable operation and large-scale deployment of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the complex and nonstationary degradation behavior of SIBs under different charging protocols pose a major challenge to ach...

Genome-Wide Association Study and Identification of Core Candidate Genes for Shoot and Root Length in Wheat During Germination

To address the core breeding demand for greater seedling vigor in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties adapted to the uniform sowing system in China’s Huang-Huai Wheat Region, we aimed to dissect the genetic architecture and identify core candidate genes for shoot length...

Sensitivity of Fusarium graminearum to propiconazole and potential resistance mechanisms

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum , is a globally significant fungal disease affecting wheat and barley crops. Chemical fungicides remain the primary control method. However, fungicide resistance remains a big challenge. This study assessed the sensitivit...

Water Availability Modulates Leaf Functional Trait Responses of Robinia pseudoacacia L. Seedlings to Nitrogen–Phosphorus Supply

Water availability strongly influences nutrient utilization and plant adaptive strategies, yet how nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) supply interact with water conditions to regulate leaf functional traits remains insufficiently understood. In this study, Robinia pseudoacacia L. se...
