DDAM-Net: A Difference-Directed Multi-Scale Attention Mechanism Network for Cultivated Land Change Detection.

Declining cultivated land poses a serious threat to food security. However, existing Change Detection (CD) methods are insufficient for overcoming intra-class differences in cropland, and the accumulation of irrelevant features and loss of key features leads to poor detection results. To effectively identify changes in agricultural land, we propose a Difference-Directed Multi-scale Attention Mechanism Network (DDAM-Net).

Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated marker-free transformation and gene editing system revealed that AeCBL3 mediates the formation of calcium oxalate crystal in kiwifruit.

The transformation and gene editing of the woody species kiwifruit are difficult and time-consuming. The fast and marker-free genetic modification system for kiwifruit has not been developed yet. Here, we establish a rapid and efficient marker-free transformation and gene editing system mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes for kiwifruit.

Natural variation in the promoter of FLOWERING LOCUS T-LIKE 2 in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) is associated with flowering time under short-day conditions.

Late flowering is a serious bottleneck in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) agriculture production. Although key genes governing flowering time have been reported in many species, the regulatory network of flowering in pumpkin remains largely obscure, thereby impeding the resolution of industry-wide challenges associated with delayed fruit ripening in pumpkin cultivation.
