Background: Severe or recurring major depression is associated with increased adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), heightened atherogenicity, and immune-linked neurotoxicity (INT). Nevertheless, the interconnections among these variables in outpatient major depression (OMDD) have yet to be determined. We aim to determine the correlations among INT, atherogenicity, and ACEs in OMDD patients compared to normal controls.

Article Synopsis
  • Casuarina equisetifolia is vital for coastal protection but is vulnerable to the pest Anoplophora chinensis, making it important to study their interaction for better pest management.
  • Research revealed that two cultivars of Casuarina equisetifolia showed different host preferences for A. chinensis, with longifolene being a key attractant influenced by the jasmonic acid signaling pathway.
  • The protein CeJAZ3 was identified as a negative regulator that reduces longifolene production, suggesting potential strategies for controlling A. chinensis through genetic manipulation of plant defenses.

From Images to Loci: Applying 3D Deep Learning to Enable Multivariate and Multitemporal Digital Phenotyping and Mapping the Genetics Underlying Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Wheat.

The selection and promotion of high-yielding and nitrogen-efficient wheat varieties can reduce nitrogen fertilizer application while ensuring wheat yield and quality and contribute to the sustainable development of agriculture; thus, the mining and localization of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) genes is particularly important, but the localization of NUE genes requires a large amount of phenotypic data support. In view of this, we propose the use of low-altitude aerial photography to acquire field images at a large scale, generate 3-dimensional (3D) point clouds and multispectral images of wheat plots, propose a wheat 3D plot segmentation dataset, quantify the plot canopy height via combination with PointNet++, and generate 4 nitrogen utilization-related vegetation indices via index calculations. Six height-related and 24 vegetation-index-related dynamic digital phenotypes were extracted from the digital phenotypes collected at different time points and fitted to generate dynamic curves.

It is crucial to assess the impact of climate change on crop productivity and sustainability for the development of effective adaptation measures. Crop models are essential for quantifying this impact on crop yields. To better express crops' intrinsic growth and development patterns and their plasticity under different environmental conditions, the functional-structural plant model (FSPM) "GreenLab" has been developed.

Background: Priming plants with natural products is extensively studied in the agricultural field to reduce the use of synthetic and copper-based pesticides. Previous studies have shown that Oregano essential oil vapour (OEOV) is an effective priming agent against downy mildew (DM) in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv.
