Long Noncoding RNA: An Uncharted Territory in Plant Diseases and Immunity

ABSTRACT Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides with little or no protein‐coding capacity. They represent a substantial fraction of eukaryotic genomes and function as molecular architects that coordinate diverse biological processes a...

Integrated QTL-seq and transcriptome analyses identify a DUF1677 candidate gene with a Predicted Kelch β-propeller-like fold associated with iron deficiency response in rice

Abstract Iron deficiency is a major abiotic constraint in rice production, especially in direct-seeded and aerobic cultivation systems, yet the genes controlling tolerance, especially at the seedling stage, remain poorly understood. In this study, we screened 116 rice genotypes u...

FASP: A Fault-Aware Hardware/Software Partitioning Framework for Security Verification in Reliable Digital Microfluidic Biochips

The existing computer-aided design approaches for Digital Microfluidic Biochips focus on optimising execution time and electrode utilisation, but overlook security verification overhead as a synthesis constraint. The advanced detection method, based on ResNet-50 deep neural netwo...

Numerical analysis and Investigation of the compatibility of kesterite hole transport layers with MASnI3 perovskite solar cells

This study focuses on the design, performance optimization, and comparative analysis of MASnI 3 -based solar cells with various quaternary kesterite hole transport layers (HTLs). The influence of key parameters, such as absorber thickness, acceptor concentration, defect density,...

Synchronizing Planting Windows and Nutrient Inputs for Sustainable Soil Microbial Function in Rice Agroecosystems

This study evaluates the synergistic effects of planting dates and nitrogen (N) management strategies on soil fertility and microbial dynamics in a rice-based system under subtropical conditions in Eastern India. Over two years, three transplanting dates (June 15, July 15, August...

Enhancing cowpea quality and soil biochemistry through residual nickel and nitrogen in Vertisol

Nickel (Ni) plays a vital role in plant nitrogen (N) metabolism, yet its use is limited and its residual effects on subsequent rotational crops remain underexplored. The present study evaluated the effect of varying N levels and residual Ni, previously applied to soybean, on the...
