The varying growth rates within a group of pigs present a significant challenge for the current all-in-all-out systems in the pig industry. This study evaluated the applicability of statistical methods for classifying pigs at risk of growth retardation at different production stages using a robust dataset collected under commercial conditions. Data from 26,749 crossbred pigs (Yorkshire × Landrace) with Duroc at weaning (17 to 27 d), 15,409 pigs at the end of the nursery period (60 to 78 d), and 4996 pigs at slaughter (151 to 161 d) were analyzed under three different cut points (lowest 10%, 20%, and 30% weights) to characterize light animals.

Caffeine, a primary flavor component in tea, has been the subject of intense research. With the goal of shedding light on the complex regulatory processes governing caffeine biosynthesis in tea plants, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS), transcriptomics, and small RNA analyses were employed on diverse tea cultivars such as 'Jianghua Kucha' [including 'Xianghong 3' (XH3H) and 'Kucha 3' (KC3H)], 'Fuding Dabaicha' (FDDB), 'Yaoshan Xiulv' (YSXL), and 'Bixiangzao' (BXZ). The results showed that the caffeine level in 'Jianghua Kucha' was significantly higher than that in other tea plant cultivars.

This study conducted a comparative analysis on the effects of smart automatic and semi-automatic irrigation methods on the physiological characteristics and growth of × Matsum. seedlings. The smart automatic irrigation system, which activates irrigation when the soil moisture drops below 15%, demonstrated superior characteristics in sap-wood area and bark ratio, as well as excellent water management efficiency, compared to the semi-automatic irrigation method, which involves watering (2.

is a diverse genus of evergreen and deciduous species grown in gardens worldwide for their attractive flowers and foliage. In summer 2023, nine of 12 potted 'Nova Zembla' plants purchased from a wholesale nursery in Ohio exhibited wilting, leaf and stem discoloration, and severely darkened and softened roots, which eventually progressed into dieback and plant death. Roots tested positive with a Phytophthora Immunostrip® (Agdia, Inc.
