Meta-Analysis of the Impact of Far-Red Light on Vegetable Crop Growth and Quality.

Far-red lights (FRs), with a wavelength range between 700 and 800 nm, have substantial impacts on plant growth, especially horticultural crops. Previous studies showed conflicting results on the effects of FRs on vegetable growth and quality. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis on the influence of FRs on vegetable growth, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of their effects on the growth and nutritional indicators of vegetables.

Synthesis of a Multi-Stimulus Responsive RGB Fluorescent Organic Molecule Based on Dark Through-Bond Energy Transfer Mechanism.

In this study, a novel multi-stimulus responsive RGB fluorescent organic molecule, RTPE-NH, was designed and synthesized based on the combination of aggregation-induced emission tetraphenylethylene (TPE) luminophore and acid-responsive fluorescent molecular switch Rhodamine B. RTPE-NH exhibits aggregation-induced emission behavior, as well as UV irradiation-stimulus and acid-stimulus responsive fluorescence properties. It could emit orange-red (R), green(G), and blue(B) light in both solution and PMMA film under 365 nm excitation.

Technology of plant factory for vegetable crop speed breeding.

Sustaining crop production and food security are threatened by a burgeoning world population and adverse environmental conditions. Traditional breeding methods for vegetable crops are time-consuming, laborious, and untargeted, often taking several years to develop new and improved varieties. The challenges faced by a long breeding cycle need to be overcome.

[MSCT optimal examination time for unconspicuous rib fracture].

Objective: To explore MSCT optimal examination time for patients with unconspicuous rib fracture.

Methods: Sixty-three patients with thoracic trauma from January 2009 to June 2011 were collected. They were examined by MSCT in the first week after trauma and re-examined during eighth weeks after trauma.
