Research Progress on Intelligent Seeding Technology and Equipment: The Development of Seeders from Multi-Functional Integration to Agricultural Intelligent Agents

Seeding constitutes a key crop-production operation that governs seed spatial arrangement, crop population structure, and potential yield formation, and forms the foundation of precise, efficient, and eco-friendly farming. However, field soil properties, regional climate, and cro...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of rhizosphere soil water, temperature and salinity under various drip irrigation regimes and their effects on cotton biomass formation

Optimizing drip irrigation regimes is critical for managing the rhizosphere soil environment and enhancing cotton productivity in arid regions. A two-year field experiment (2023–2024) was conducted in northern Xinjiang, China, with four irrigation levels (60%, 80%, 100%, and 120%...

Evaluation of An I226R and A137R deletion mutant from a genotype I/II recombinant African swine fever virus strain as a live attenuated vaccine in pigs

Abstract Background: The emergence of highly lethal genotype I/II recombinant African swine fever virus (ASFV) strains in China has rendered existing genotype II-based live attenuated vaccines ineffective, underscoring the urgent need for novel vaccine candidates. Although single...

Phage anti-defense genes targeting NAD + metabolism and DNA replication are associated with a broad host range against Klebsiella pneumoniae

. Deletion of these genes collapsed the host spectrum from 109 strains to fewer than 10, significantly compromising antibacterial efficacy. The wild-type phage substantially improves survival in a mouse bacteremia model. Our study identifies candidate genetic factors associated w...
