Synthetic hexaploid wheat is an effective genetic resource for transferring agronomically important genes from Aegilops tauschii to common wheat. Wide variation in grain size and shape, one of the main targets for wheat breeding, has been observed among Ae. tauschii accessions. To identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for grain size and shape variation in the wheat D genome under a hexaploid genetic background, six parameters related to grain size and shape were measured using SmartGrain digital image software and QTL analysis was conducted using four F2 mapping populations of wheat synthetic hexaploids. In total, 18 QTLs for the six parameters were found on five of the seven D-genome chromosomes. The identified QTLs significantly contributed to the variation in grain size and shape among the synthetic wheat lines, implying that the D-genome QTLs might be at least partly functional in hexaploid wheat. Thus, synthetic wheat lines with diverse D genomes from Ae. tauschii are useful resources for the identification of agronomically important loci that function in hexaploid wheat.

Background: Soy protein isolate (SPI) has poor emulsifying ability because of its low molecular flexibility and compact structure, limiting its application in extruded protein-based foods. Extrusion technology has emerged as a promising way to alter the structural properties of proteins. Therefore, the impacts of grape seed proanthocyanidin (GSP) on structural and emulsifying characteristics of SPI in extrusion field were explored in this study.

This study has investigated the effects of different annealing temperatures on the microstructure, chemical composition, phase structure, and piezoelectric properties of ZnO films. The analysis focuses on how annealing temperature influences the oxygen content and the preferred c-axis (002) orientation of the films. It was found that annealing significantly increases the grain size and optimizes the columnar crystal structure, though excessive high-temperature annealing leads to structural degradation.

In industrial contexts, anomaly detection is crucial for ensuring quality control and maintaining operational efficiency in manufacturing processes. Leveraging high-level features extracted from ImageNet-trained networks and the robust capabilities of the Deep Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) model for anomaly detection, this paper proposes an improved Deep SVDD model, termed Feature-Patching SVDD (FPSVDD), designed for unsupervised anomaly detection in industrial applications. This model integrates a feature-patching technique with the Deep SVDD framework.

This study addresses the thermal management challenge in battery systems by enhancing phase change material composites with Ni-P and Ni-P-Cu coatings on phase change material/expanded graphite structures. Traditional phase change materials are limited by low thermal conductivity and mechanical stability, which restricts their effectiveness in high-demand applications. Unlike previous studies, this work integrates Ni-P and Ni-P-Cu coatings to significantly improve both the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength of phase change material/expanded graphite composites, filling a crucial gap in battery thermal management solutions.
