Application Analysis of Swarm Control Technology in Orchard Agricultural Production

Swarm control technology, leveraging artificial intelligence algorithms to coordinate multiple devices, offers an effective solution for developing precision and intelligent operation systems in orchard management. This paper focuses on the core technologies underpinning swarm co...

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...

Population genomics reveals ginseng domestication and ginsenoside biosynthesis

Ginseng ( Panax ginseng ), a valuable medicinal plant, is cultivated for the bioactive ginsenosides with cardiovascular protective effects that are abundant in its roots. However, the genetic basis of its domestication and ginsenoside variation is not fully understood. In this st...

Comparative Immunogenicity of Inactivated H7N9 Avian Influenza Vaccines with Different Internal Gene Backbones

H7N9 avian influenza virus (AIV) poses a persistent threat to poultry and public health. Despite widespread vaccination in China, rapid antigenic drift and reassortment necessitate frequent updates of vaccine strains. Phylogenetic analysis of isolates from Chinese provinces (from...

Ultrasonic Degradation Improves the In Vitro Utilization of Oolong Tea Pectic Polysaccharides: Structure Characterization and Multi-Omics Insights

Pectic polysaccharides from tea residues represent a promising class of prebiotic dietary fibers. This study aimed to optimize the extraction of Oolong tea (Camellia sinensis ‘Foshou’) polysaccharides (FCTP), elucidate the structural alterations induced by ultrasonic degradation,...

Biostimulatory Effect of 3-Acetonyl-3-Hydroxyoxindole on the Growth and Secondary Metabolites of Khaya senegalensis: UPLC–MS/MS Profiling and Molecular Docking Insights

Developing sustainable agricultural biostimulants that simultaneously optimize vegetative growth and specialized metabolic pathways is critical for maximizing plant growth, photosynthetic efficiency, and metabolome reprogramming. In this study, for the first time, the effects of...

Biosynthesis and heterologous production of the α-agarofuran scaffold of Celangulin V from Celastrus angulatus

Celangulin V is a widely used biopesticide derived from Celastrus angulatus, and features antifeedant and insecticidal properties as a dihydro-β-agarofuran (DHβAF) sesquiterpenoid. Its biosynthesis remains largely unexplored. Here, we assemble a chromosome-level and haplotype-res...

Research on an Innovation Opportunity Identification Method Based on Link Prediction in Heterogeneous Networks

A large number of potential knowledge associations in scientific and technological innovation activities have not yet become explicit. How to identify potential valuable innovation opportunity clues from complex knowledge structures has therefore become an important issue in inte...

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...

Microbiota Dynamics and Listeria monocytogenes Inhibition in Vacuum-Packed Brown Bear Meat Treated with β-Cyclodextrin-Encapsulated Essential Oil

Abstract This study evaluated the microbiological quality and microbiota dynamics of brown bear ( Ursus arctos ) meat treated with β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes of Origanum vulgare essential oil (OVEO/β-CD) and Illicium verum essential oil (IVEO/β-CD) during 21 days of refri...

Synergistic promotion of white-to-beige adipocyte transition by manganese-nucleic acid framework and allicin for alleviating obesity

Long-term obesity treatment remains challenging due to high costs, adverse drug effects, and invasive surgical procedures. Here, we develop an adipocyte-targeted manganese-nucleic acid framework (MNF) with superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. The MNF and allicin are co-encap...
