Genomic insights into Bacillus velezensis FB-4 as a multifaceted biocontrol agent against Valsa canker caused by Valsa pyri on Korla fragrant pear

Pear Valsa canker, caused by Valsa pyri , poses a severe threat to the sustainable cultivation of Korla fragrant pear. The environmental concerns associated with chemical fungicides have driven the search for biological control alternatives. Endophytic bacteria represent a promis...

Rotational canal scheduling in two oasis irrigation districts using a weighted composite objective and a sigmoid-adaptive genetic algorithm

Rotational canal scheduling in arid irrigation districts must satisfy coupled water-volume, timing, and hydraulic constraints while balancing modeled seepage loss and the dispersion of trunk-canal discharge levels. A constrained model with a weighted composite objective was solve...

Coupling effects of biostimulant application and planting density for synergistic enhancement of sorghum and amelioration of saline-alkali soil

A randomized block experiment was conducted to investigate combined effects of planting density and biostimulants on sorghum performance and saline-alkali soil properties. Treatments included two densities (S, C) and three biostimulant applications: CK (control), sole γ-aminobuty...

Methionine addiction in oral squamous cell carcinoma: a metabolic vulnerability targeted by engineered bacteria

Metabolic reprogramming is a defining hallmark of malignant transformation, and tumor-specific amino acid addiction has emerged as a promising therapeutic axis for precision oncology. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an aggressive head and neck malignancy marked by limited...
