动物植物Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a crucial crop feeding over half of the global population. The demand for high-quality, protein-rich rice is rising, making accurate grain protein content (GPC) estimation vital for breeding superior varieties.
阅读全文动物植物Soil salinization poses a threat to global agricultural production, food security and sustainable development. Affected by China's population growth and social and economic development, China's arable land has been decreasing in recent decades and is cl
阅读全文动物植物For several years, a team of economists from the University of Passau has been investigating in Indonesia which measures are effective in ensuring that sustainable farming methods are used in the long term. They found that training, soil testing and aware
阅读全文动物植物The rapid development of single-cell RNA sequencing technologies has made it possible to study the impact of external perturbations on gene expression at the level of individual cells.
阅读全文动物植物In a study published in the journal National Science Review, researchers developed an amplifiable protein identification method called "AmproCode."
阅读全文动物植物Wheat production is essential for global food security, and continual improvement to grain yield is necessary to meet the nutritional demands of the expanding human population. Grain size is positively correlated with grain weight, while the flag leaf ser
阅读全文动物植物Agricultural heritage systems, the custodians of ancient farming practices, face unprecedented challenges from climate change and urbanization. A recent study presents a detailed geographical analysis coupled with strategic management approaches to conser
阅读全文动物植物DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are a type of quadruple helix structure formed by a continuous guanine-rich DNA sequence. Although DNA G4s are thought to be involved in various biological processes, in many cases their causative effects are largely unclear due t
阅读全文动物植物Coral reefs, those vibrant underwater cities, stand on the precipice of collapse. While rising ocean temperatures and coral bleaching grab headlines, a new essay in Current Biology reveals a hidden layer of complexity in this fight for survival: the often
阅读全文动物植物Researchers at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Karolinska Institutet have characterized a novel GTPase involved in ribosome production in mitochondria. The study, published in Nature Communications, provides new insights into the
阅读全文动物植物Scientists from La Trobe University and Phillipps-University of Marburg (Germany) have discovered how a peptide called Apelin regulates blood vessel growth, opening new avenues of research for cancer treatment, organ regeneration, and tissue engineering.
阅读全文动物植物Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time it takes for a correct diagnosis, Cambridge researchers have shown. The team determined that an algorithm could be trained to identify drug-r
