动物植物Salt stress poses a major challenge to global crop production, especially in cereals, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of salt tolerance mechanisms. Halophytes like Spartina alterniflora, thriving in high-salinity environments, offer valuable i
阅读全文动物植物Tea, one of the oldest and most popular beverages, is cherished for its economic, medicinal, and cultural value. The quality of tea largely depends on the tenderness of young tea shoots, which are high in bioactive compounds.
阅读全文动物植物In recent years, messenger RNA (mRNA) has emerged as a promising avenue for accurate and potent therapeutic interventions. Unlike DNA drugs, mRNA can express genetic information without the risk of integrating into the host genome.
阅读全文动物植物A research team has developed the SCAG algorithm for accurate branch detection and angle calculation in soybean plants using LiDAR data. SCAG achieved high accuracy in branch detection (F-score=0.77) and angle calculation (r=0.84), outperforming tradition
阅读全文动物植物A research team has developed an improved DeepLabv3+ algorithm for accurately detecting and localizing safflower filament picking points. By utilizing the lightweight ShuffleNetV2 network and incorporating convolutional block attention, the method achieve
阅读全文动物植物GPS tracking collars have revealed how newly reintroduced eastern quolls are settling in at Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary, with quolls who were born at the sanctuary accepting their new neighbors with open paws.
阅读全文动物植物A research team has developed a hyperspectral library for 14 NPK nutrient stress conditions in rice, using a terrestrial hyperspectral camera to collect and analyze 420 rice stress images. The transformer-based deep learning network SHCFTT accurately iden
阅读全文动物植物A research team has developed a radiative transfer modeling framework using Helios 3D plant modeling software to simulate RGB, multi-/hyperspectral, thermal, and depth camera images with fully resolved reference labels. This innovative method markedly dim
