Endophyte Acrocalymma vagum establishes the holobiont with rice to attract beneficial microorganisms and promote disease resistance.

Introduction: Endophytic fungi are essential microorganisms in promoting plant health. However, the mechanism of endophytic fungi regulating root microbiota to enhance crop production and resistance remains unclear.

Objectives: We aimed i) to explore the microbial alteration driven by endophytic Acrocalymma vagum in developing crop yield and rice resistance; ii) to reveal the mechanism of root-released compound stimulated by A.

AI-based tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte scoring system for assessing HCC prognosis in patients undergoing liver resection.

Background & Aims: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), particularly CD8+ TILs, are key prognostic markers in many cancers. However, their prognostic value in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial, with different evidence. Given the heterogeneous outcomes in patients with HCC undergoing liver resection, this study aims to develop an AI-based system to quantify CD8+ TILs and assess their prognostic value for patients with HCC.

A New Species in From Wild Rice and Beneficial Potential.

Wild rice () is a natural resource pool containing abundant unknown endophytic fungi species. There are few reports on the endophytic fungi in wild rice. Here, one isolate recovered from wild rice roots was identified as a new species sp.

Application of Hyperspectral Imaging for Maturity and Soluble Solids Content Determination of Strawberry With Deep Learning Approaches.

Maturity degree and quality evaluation are important for strawberry harvest, trade, and consumption. Deep learning has been an efficient artificial intelligence tool for food and agro-products. Hyperspectral imaging coupled with deep learning was applied to determine the maturity degree and soluble solids content (SSC) of strawberries with four maturity degrees.

The Endophytic Fungus Piriformospora Indica-Assisted Alleviation of Cadmium in Tobacco.

Increasing evidence suggests that the endophytic fungus helps plants overcome various abiotic stresses, especially heavy metals. However, the mechanism of heavy metal tolerance has not yet been elucidated. Here, the role of in alleviating cadmium (Cd) toxicities in tobacco was investigated.

An efficient genetic manipulation protocol for dark septate endophyte Falciphora oryzae.

Objective: To investigate the protoplast preparation and transformation system of endophytic fungus Falciphora oryzae.

Results: F. oryzae strain obtained higher protoplast yield and effective transformation when treated with enzyme digestion solution containing 0.
