Labile carbon input suppresses Q10 of soil organic carbon decomposition by dynamically lowering microbial activation energy mediated by a shift in microbial metabolic strategy

Understanding the temperature sensitivity (Q 10 ) of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, as constrained by the activation energy (E a ) of microbial metabolism, is critical for predicting climate-carbon feedbacks. This study examined how exogenous glucose influences Q 10 in...

Genome-wide identification of tomato B-RRs gene family and expression analysis in response to ABA and drought

B-type Response Regulators (B-RRs) play a crucial regulatory role in cytokinin signal transduction and are significant for plant development and stress resistance. However, studies on B-RRs in tomato are limited. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the B-RRs g...

WMSP-RTDETR: An RT-DETR with Weighted Multi-Scale Fusion and Position-Enhanced Attention for Pig Detection in Crowded Barn Scenes

Accurate pig detection in crowded barns is hindered by frequent body contact, similar appearance, overlapping torso boundaries, and scale variations, which weaken instance separation and bounding-box localisation. In the original Real-Time DEtection Transformer (RT-DETR) architec...

Oxidative stress in pigs and opportunities with selenium-containing amino acids

Modern pig farming practices, characterized by highly-productive and fast-growing genetics, early weaning, and uncontrolled factors such as heat stress and various nutritional challenges, impose cumulative stress on the animal. Elevated concentrations of reactive oxygen species w...

Landscape Ecological Risk Evolution and Its Nonlinear Driving Mechanisms in a Topographically Constrained River-Valley Basin: A Case Study of the Taiyuan Section of the Fen River Basin

In regions where severe topographic constraints coincide with intensive human activity, the mechanisms underlying landscape ecological risk (LER) and its spatial differentiation remain poorly understood. In particular, the nonlinear responses and threshold effects arising from th...

Behavioral Effects and Potential Mechanisms of Imidacloprid-and Flupyradifurone-Induced Neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract Neonicotinoid insecticides raise concerns about neurotoxicity in nontarget organisms, motivating evaluation of alternatives such as flupyradifurone (FPF). We compared the neurotoxicity of imidacloprid (IMI) and FPF in Caenorhabditis elegans after 72 h exposure to 0.1–100...

A Method Based on Nanobodies Against AMH to Establish Immunochromatography for Evaluation of Follicular Development in Bactrian Camels

(1) Background: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a key indicator for predicting ovarian reserve and fertility. Currently, B-mode ultrasound examination is the primary method for evaluating follicular development in Bactrian camels, although it has several limitations. This study a...

Portulaca oleracea L. Polysaccharide Alleviates AFB1-Induced Liver Injury in New Zealand Rabbits via the Gut–Liver Axis

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a prevalent mycotoxin contaminating food and environmental matrices that can induce hepatic injury, thereby posing a substantial threat to livestock production. Portulaca oleracea L. polysaccharide (POP) possesses diverse biological activities, including an...

Integrated Transcriptomic and Phenotypic Analyses Reveal Tissue-Specific Nitrogen Responses and Candidate Genes for Low-Nitrogen Tolerance in Sorghum

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is an important crop with remarkable tolerance to adverse environments, including nitrogen deficiency. To investigate the mechanisms underlying sorghum tolerance to low-nitrogen (LN) stress, we integrated phenotypic evaluation, transcriptome...

Effects of vineyard inter-row grass cover treatment on microbial diversity and metabolite profiles during Cabernet Sauvignon fermentation

Inter-row grass cover is an ecological management strategy that profoundly affects vineyard microecology, yet its effects on fermentation-associated microbial diversity and wine metabolites remain incompletely elucidated. This study compared the effects of inter-row clean tillage...

Ecological Restoration of Degraded Mining Soils Through Key‐Layer Construction Using Industrial By‐Products: A Comprehensive Analysis of Soil Physics, Microbiology, and Maize Yield

ABSTRACT Coal mining severely degrades soil profiles and ecosystem functions, highlighting the need for effective reclamation. Reconstructing soil profiles with industrial solid wastes offers a promising waste‐to‐resource approach, but the ecological effects of different engineer...
