TaIAA25 negatively regulates wheat alkaline tolerance by inhibiting plasma membrane H + -ATPase activity

Soil salinization/alkalization represents a universal challenge that severely constrains crop productivity. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms underpinning saline/alkaline tolerance of wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) holds profound significance for global food security and sustaina...

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...

A Text Classification Model for Agricultural Expert Forums Based on Expert Domain Preferences and Deep Semantics

Agricultural expert forums serve as important platforms for knowledge exchange, containing large volumes of text that embody professional expertise and practical experience. However, because experts often focus on different agricultural subfields and category semantics may overla...

Caspase‐3‐mediated apoptosis‐associated flavor changes in large yellow croaker during cold storage induced by Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter haemolyticus : a metabolomics and headspace solid‐phase microextraction–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry study

Abstract BACKGROUND The flavor changes of large yellow croaker during cold storage are complex. In this study, headspace solid‐phase microextraction–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS‐SPME‐GC‐MS) was combined with metabolomics to explore the flavor changes caused by the eff...

A transposon-derived transcription factor senses ionic stress through phase separation to govern plant autophagy

Salt stress severely impairs plant growth through two distinct cellular insults: osmotic stress caused by water limitation and ionic toxicity resulting from excessive Na + accumulation. Although plant osmosensors have been identified, the mechanisms underlying ionic stress percep...

Polymer Substrates for Flexible Sensors: Advances and Contributions to Smart Agriculture

ABSTRACT The advancement of smart agriculture is becoming increasingly dependent on sensor technologies that enable the digitization and optimization of agricultural processes. Traditional sensors, however, are constrained by their inherent rigidity, poor conformability to irregu...

Discontools supplement Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections in pigs: update and knowledge gaps

This manuscript reviews current knowledge on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae , the primary agent of enzootic pneumonia in pigs, integrating advances in epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunity, diagnostics, and control. The pathogen is globally endemic, with transmission driven mainly by di...
