Tea leaf disease and insect identification based on improved MobileNetV3.

Accurate detection of tea leaf diseases and insects is crucial for their scientific and effective prevention and control, essential for ensuring the quality and yield of tea. Traditional methods for identifying tea leaf diseases and insects primarily rely on professional technicians, which are difficult to apply in various scenarios. This study proposes a recognition method for tea leaf diseases and insects based on improved MobileNetV3.

Urinary kynurenine as a biomarker for Parkinson's disease.

Objective: To examine whether urine kynurenine (KYN) levels were associated with early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD), as well as the value of urine KYN as a potential biomarker in early-stage PD.

Method: Eighty-two participants including 41 PD patients and 41 healthy controls were enrolled into this study. Urine KYN levels were measured with a KYN enzyme-linked immunoassay kit.

Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Insect Hormone Biosynthesis Pathway Involved in Desynchronized Development Phenomenon in Hybridized Sibling Species of Tea Geometrids ( and ).

and are sibling species of tea-chewing pests. An investigation of the distribution of tea geometrids was implemented for enhancing controlling efficiency. is distributed across a wider range of tea-producing areas than in China with sympatric distribution found in some areas.

Characterization of candidate odorant-binding proteins and chemosensory proteins in the tea geometrid Ectropis obliqua Prout (Lepidoptera: Geometridae).

Insects rely heavily on their sophisticated chemosensory systems to locate host plants and find conspecific mates. Although the molecular mechanisms of odorant recognition in many Lepidoptera species have been well explored, limited information has been reported on the geometrid moth Ectropis obliqua Prout, an economically important pest of tea plants. In the current study, we first attempted to identify and characterize the putative olfactory carrier proteins, including odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs).
