Integrative transcriptomic and haplotype-based analyses identified candidate genes potentially associated with nitrogen use efficiency in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Scientia Horticulturae
Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is a key determinant of crop productivity and agricultural sustainability; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying NUE in cucumber remain largely unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive multi-level analysis

GWAS and RNA-seq reveal novel loci and genes of low-nitrogen tolerance in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), a globally significant horticultural crop, requires substantial nitrogen inputs due to its high nutrient demand. However, the prevalent issues of low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in cultivars and excessive fertilizer ...

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Genetic assessment of Saccharina germplasm using SNP markers: Facilitating core collection establishment and fingerprinting identification

Aquaculture Reports
Saccharina japonica, a commercially significant brown alga, has been cultivated for several decades in China. Despite extensive efforts to collect and preserve its germplasms, the absence of genetic data and reliable molecular markers has obstructed ...

To wrap or to not wrap cucumbers?

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
In light of increasing public pressure, retailers strive to remove plastic packaging as much as possible from fresh fruits and vegetables to reduce the environmental impacts along their supply chains. Plastic packaging, however, also has an important protective function, similar to the fruit's peel.

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.

Responses of Ammonia-Oxidizing Microorganisms to Intercropping Systems in Different Seasons

Agriculture, 2021
Intercropping plays an essential role in agricultural production, impacting the soil’s physical and chemical properties and microbial communities. However, the responses of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms in the continuous-cropping soil to different ...

Organic Options for Striped Cucumber Beetle Management in Cucumbers [PDF]

, 2012
Striped cucumber beetles (Acalymma vittata F.) are a serious pest of cucurbits, particularly on organic farms. These pests are the vector and overwintering host for bacterial wilt (Erwinia tracheiphila), which kills plants and can render cucumbers ...
