Secondary salinization is a crucial constraint on agricultural progress in arid regions. The specific mulching irrigation technique not only exacerbates secondary salinization but also complicates field-scale soil salinity monitoring. UAV hyperspectral remote sensing offers a monitoring method that is high-precision, high-efficiency, and short-cycle.

During natural evolution and artificial selection, the fruit color of many species has been repeatedly gained or lost and is generally associated with mutations in genes encoding transcription factors, especially . In this study, we show that a heterozygous frameshift mutation ( ) is responsible for the loss of anthocyanins in the flesh of cultivated strawberry. Comparative transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of red- and white-fleshed strawberry indicated that the low expression level of (flavonol-O-glucosyltransferases) was responsible for the loss of anthocyanins and accumulation of proanthocyanidin in the white-fleshed strawberry and was the crucial gene that encodes enzymes of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway.

The LaMnO catalysts doped with transition metal (Zr, Co, Fe) were prepared. The influencing factors (the catalyst type, the initial concentration, the gas flow, and oxygen content) on the degradation efficiency by the non-thermal plasma synergistic the LaMnO catalysts doped with Zr, Co and Fe were investigated systematically. The degradation mechanism of the meta-xylene degradation by the non-thermal plasma synergistic Mn-Zr-La/AlO was researched.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been widely used in plant factories and agricultural facilities. Different LEDs can be designed in accordance with the light quality and intensity requirements of different plants, allowing the regulation of plant growth and development, as well as metabolic processes. Blue and red lights have significant effects on anthocyanin metabolism in strawberry fruit, but their effects on other metabolites are unknown.

The sorption curve of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) onto bentonite by microwave irradiation was studied. The effects of microwave reaction time and CPC concentration on interlayer spacing and organic carbon content of organobentonite were tested, respectively. Thermodynamics and kinetics of sorption of CPC onto bentonite by microwave irradiation were studied.

Purification of (+)-dihydromyricetin from an extract (16 g) of leaves of Ampelopsis grossedentata was performed using a preparative triple-column countercurrent chromatograph. With a solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (1:3:2:4, v/v) 11.3 g of (+)-dihydromyricetin was obtained at a high purity of over 99% by HPLC at 254 nm in 9 h.
