Integration of Spatiotemporal Multi‐Omics in Peach Fruit Unravels a Metabolic Niche and the Genetic Basis of Trichome‐Mediated Stress Adaptation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study constructed the first spatiotemporal multi‐omics map of peach fruit and discovered a key candidate gene that synergistically regulates trichome development and drought tolerance through the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, providing insights into the coupling mechanism between development and stress resistance.

Identification and genome insights into Pyrenochaeta nobilis, a novel endophytic fungus isolated from Astragalus membranaceus with gray mold-control activity

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionGray mold, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea, is a significant threat to agricultural production, especially under low temperature and high humidity conditions. This disease can cause substantial yield losses in various crops,

Transferable Deep Reinforcement Learning With Edge‐Contour‐Depth Fusion for Autonomous Wireless Capsule Endoscopy Navigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an anatomical landmark‐guided DRL framework for autonomous wireless capsule endoscopy navigation. Using a lightweight edge‐contour‐depth fusion module, it achieves over 97% coverage across diverse gastric anatomies. To ensure reliability, a two‐stage sim‐to‐real pipeline with an adaptive dynamic programming controller mitigates ...

Chimera and cluster collective states in a dispersal ecological network under state-dependent feedback control and complex habitat structure

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021
Pest control based on an economic threshold (ET) can effectively prevent excessive pest control measures such as pesticide abuse and overharvesting. The instinctive dispersal of pest populations in biological network patches for better survival poses ...

Mutations of the complex I PSST target gene confers acaricide resistance and a fitness cost in Panonychus citri

BMC Biology
Background Pesticide resistance is a serious problem that threatens crop industries. Major resistance towards pyridaben, an acaricidal inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport complex I (METI-Is), has been reported in tetranychids following its ...

Enhanced Intracellular Stability and Translation Efficiency of mRNA Drugs by a 2‐arm mRNA Platform

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We constructed a 2‐arm mRNA, characterized by a unique topology formed through the dimerization of two mRNA 3’ tails. The 2‐arm mRNA improves 3’ tail stability and resistance to nuclease degradation, resulting in an intracellular half‐life of up to 65 h. This method substantially enhances the translation capacity of mRNA drugs.

Insights from Population Genomics to Enhance and Sustain Biological Control of Insect Pests

Insects, 2020
Biological control—the use of organisms (e.g., nematodes, arthropods, bacteria, fungi, viruses) for the suppression of insect pest species—is a well-established, ecologically sound and economically profitable tactic for crop protection. This approach has

Increasing landscape heterogeneity as a win–win solution to manage trade-offs in biological control of crop and woodland pests

Scientific Reports, 2023
Agriculture and forestry cover more than 75% of Europe, and invertebrate pests are a costly challenge for these two economic sectors. Landscape management is increasingly promoted as a solution to enhance biological pest control, but little is known on ...
