Interactions between the nitrate reductase 2 and catalase 1 fine-tune disease resistance in cassava.

Cassava is one of the most important tuber crops that is used for food, starch and bio-energy. However, cassava is susceptible to a number of diseases, especially cassava bacterial blight (CBB). Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) regulate plant growth and development, as well as stress responses.

The gene is involved in lifespan regulation of (Coquillett) after short-term high-temperature treatment.

(Coquillett) is a highly damaging agricultural pest in many tropical and subtropical countries around the world and high temperatures usually affect its survival. To clarify the effect of short-term high temperatures on the survival and lifespan of , newly emerged adults of three consecutive generations (F, F, and F) were exposed to 25 °C, 33 °C, 37 °C, 41 °C, or 45 °C treatments for 1 h. The effect of these temperatures on survival and lifespan was evaluated using biological indicators such as lifespan and pupation rate.

Optimization of Sensors Data Transmission Paths for Pest Monitoring Based on Intelligent Algorithms.

The harm of agricultural pests presents a remarkable effect on the quality and safety of edible farm products and the monitoring and identification of agricultural pests based on the Internet of Things (IoT) produce a large amount of data to be transmitted. To achieve efficient and real-time transmission of the sensors' data for pest monitoring, this paper selects 235 geographic coordinates of agricultural pest monitoring points and uses genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and simulated annealing (SA) to optimize the data transmission paths of sensors. The three intelligent algorithms are simulated by MATLAB software.

Function of gene in reproductive regulation of (Coquillett) after short-term high-temperature treatment.

Climate change has increased the frequency of extreme heat events. (Coquillett) is an important tropical pest that typically changes its reproductive strategies in response to extremely high temperatures. Newly emerged adults of three consecutive generations (F, F, and F) of (Coquillett) were exposed to 25°C, 33°C, 37°C, 41°C, and 45°C treatments for 1 h to clarify the effects of short-term high temperatures on its reproduction.
