Threshold-window framework reveals management-sensitive controls of CH4 and N2O emissions in flooded rice

Rice paddies are major sources of methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O), yet co-managing water and nitrogen (N) to limit both gases remains challenging because emissions arise from non-linear interactions among multiple drivers. We combined a two-year field experiment in subt...

Gut microbiota dysbiosis remodels the multi-tissue transcriptional landscape of the host

<title>Abstract</title> Background The gut microbiota exerts a profound influence on host physiology, but its systemic impact on gene expression across diverse tissues remains poorly characterized. Results This study investigated the transcriptional effects of gut microbiota depl...

Machine Learning-Guided Stress Atlases Reveal Co-Expression Rewiring and Divergent Cellular Deployment of Abiotic Stress Programs in Rice and Wheat

Abiotic stress limits cereal productivity, yet whether conserved stress-responsive genes retain similar transcriptional network organization and cellular deployment across cereal species remains unknown. Here, we developed a machine learning-guided comparative framework to integr...

Exogenous spermidine (Spd) improves the tolerance to alkaline-salt stress in potato

Abstract Background Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world’s fourth most important staple crop, but its production is increasingly threatened by soil salinization, particularly alkaline-salt stress caused by excessive NaHCO 3 . Although exogenous spermidine (Spd) has been re...

Effects of Dietary Rumen-Undegradable Protein and Protein Levels on Growth Performance, Fermentation Parameters, Slaughter Performance, and Meat Quality on Fattening Hu Sheep

Optimizing protein nutrition in ruminants is vital for enhancing growth performance, meat quality, and overall production efficiency. However, the precise protein requirement for ruminants remains unclear. Two experimental trials were conducted to investigate the impact of varyin...
