A genome-wide association study using Myanmar diversity panel reveals a significant genomic region associated with heading date in rice.

Heading date is a key agronomic trait for adapting rice varieties to different growing areas and crop seasons. The genetic mechanism of heading date in Myanmar rice accessions was investigated using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in a 250-variety diversity panel collected from different geographical regions. Using the days to heading data collected in 2019 and 2020, a major genomic region associated with the heading date, designated as MTA3, was found on chromosome 3.

Integrated multi-operand optical neurons for scalable and hardware-efficient deep learning.

Optical neural networks (ONNs) are promising hardware platforms for next-generation neuromorphic computing due to their high parallelism, low latency, and low energy consumption. However, previous integrated photonic tensor cores (PTCs) consume numerous single-operand optical modulators for signal and weight encoding, leading to large area costs and high propagation loss to implement large tensor operations. This work proposes a scalable and efficient optical dot-product engine based on customized multi-operand photonic devices, namely multi-operand optical neuron (MOON).
