Article Synopsis
- Rapeseed (B. napus) is prone to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), which negatively impacts seed weight and oil content; this study investigates the role of SDR genes in seed dormancy.
- A total of 142 BnaSDR genes were identified across 19 chromosomes, with distinct gene clusters and subfamilies showing similar characteristics and expression patterns.
- Specifically, certain BnaSDR genes in subgroup D had higher expression levels in weak dormancy lines, suggesting a significant link between these genes and seed dormancy in B. napus.
Dihydroflavonol 4-reductase () is a key enzyme in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway and is essential for the formation of plants' color. In this study, 26 genes were identified using 6 genes as reference. The physicochemical properties, subcellular localization, and conserved structure of proteins were analyzed; the evolutionary relationship, collinearity analysis, and expression characteristics of genes were studied; and the correlation between the expression level of genes and anthocyanin content in rape petals were analyzed.

The main challenge is that there may be a nonlinear relationship between different SSVEP in other states. For improving the performance of SSVEP BCI, a novel CNN algorithm model is proposed in this study.

Applications of melatonin (MT) serve as an effective way to alleviate drought stress, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we found that foliar spray of 100-µM MT greatly mitigated the severe drought stress-induced damages in rice seedlings, including improved survival rates, enhanced antioxidant system, and adjusted osmotic balance.

Cereal seeds contribute to maximum annual starch production and provide the primary food for humans and livestock worldwide. However, the growing demand for starch in food and industry and the increasing loss of arable land with urbanization emphasizes the urgency to understand starch biosynthesis and its regulation.

- This study develops an automatic sleep staging algorithm using a time attention mechanism and bi-directional GRU to efficiently classify sleep stages for improved diagnosis of sleep disorders.
- The algorithm was tested on two datasets, achieving high accuracy and performance metrics, outperforming the latest competing methods.
- A new balancing strategy was introduced to address the issue of low recognition rates for the N1 sleep stage, significantly enhancing its detection accuracy.
