Increasing leaf photosynthesis per area (A) is of great importance to achieve yield further improvement. The aim of this study was to exploit varietal difference in A and its correlation with specific leaf weight (SLW). Twelve rice cultivars, including 6 indica and 6 japonica varieties, were pot-gro...

Maximizing seed yield is the ultimate breeding goal in important cereal crop species. Seed set is a key developmental stage in the process of seed formation, which determines grain number, seed mass, and realized yield potential, and can be severely affected by abiotic and biotic stresses. However,...

As environmental concerns continue to grow, there is increasing interest in using natural fibers as sustainable alternatives to synthetic fibers in the production of geotextiles for soil reinforcement. Coir fiber is one such promising natural material. Compared with other natural fibers, coir fiber...

In the North China Plain (NCP), soil deterioration threatens winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Although rotary tillage or plowing tillage are two methods commonly used in this region, research characterizing the effects of mixed tillage on soil characteristics and wheat yield has been...

Traffic congestion poses a persistent challenge for modern cities, yet the complex behavior of urban road networks—particularly multistability in traffic flow—remains poorly understood. To address this gap, we analyzed a high-resolution traffic dataset from four Chinese cities over 20 working days (...

This article proposes a method composed of a loss function and a feature extractor structure, to learn the distinctive feature representation (DIFR) for descriptors on multimodal images. The distinctiveness of the feature representation plays a key role in matching keypoints, and has drawn a lot of...

Heterosis plays an important role in crop production and plant evolution. Although heterosis has been widely exploited by plant breeders, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood. We analyzed gene expression of the highly heterotic maize hybrid Zhengdan 958 and its parents, Zheng...

IntroductionDrug-induced liver injury is a common condition of therapeutics and requires solutions other than drugs. Dietary supplements and herbal products have beneficial potential against liver failure and are often associated with changes in intestinal flora. This study was designed to investiga...

We demonstrate the emission characteristics, including polarization property and temperature effect, of lasing from all organic mirrorless quasicrystal fabricated by seven-beam interference. The output lasing is linearly polarized with polarization direction confined within the 2-D plate that aperio...

Paclobutrazol was sprayed at 0, 150, and 300 mg L−1 during the closed canopy stage and the early bud stage with two high-yielding cultivars of rapeseed, Yangguang 2009 and Fengyou 520. The impact of paclobutrazol on the accumulation and distribution of biomass and its relationship with yield, resist...

Effects of medium and plant growth regulators on shoot regeneration from stem, leaf and root explants of Crassula arborescens were studied. Adventitious buds developed into shoots, shoot regeneration rate reached 100% and shoot number was above 10 per explant on the Murashige and Skoog basal medium...

Background and aim: Electroacupuncture (EA) is an effective treatment for hyperlipidemia because it decreases the protein expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and liver X receptor alpha (LXRα). Lowering blood lipids can reverse cardiac insufficiency, but the underlying...
