The antennal sensilla play an important role in many behavioral activities of insects. The fungivorous beetle Triplax ainonia Lewis (Erotylidae) is an important pest which prefers to feed on Pleurotus mushrooms. In order to clarify the types, number, and distribution of the antennal sensilla of male and female T.

Deformable multimodal image registration plays a key role in medical image analysis. It remains a challenge to find accurate dense correspondences between multimodal images due to the significant intensity distortion and the large deformation. macJNet is proposed to align the multimodal medical images, which is a weakly-supervised multimodal image deformable registration method using a joint learning framework and multi-sampling cascaded modality independent neighborhood descriptor (macMIND).

Article Synopsis
  • VLCFA synthesis in plants is mainly regulated by the enzyme 3-ketoacyl CoA synthase (KCS), which impacts the rate and length of fatty acid chains, crucial for pollen wall development.
  • The study identified 24 grapevine genes and categorized them into seven subgroups based on their chromosome location and similar structures, indicating gene family expansion due to segmental duplications.
  • Analysis comparing gene expression in a male sterile grape ('Y-14') and its fertile parent ('Shine Muscat') revealed 10 key genes impacted during meiosis that are involved in fatty acid elongation, potentially affecting pollen wall integrity and providing insights for grapevine breeding improvements.
