In this paper, we review, compare, and analyze previous studies on agricultural machinery automatic navigation and path planning technologies. First, the paper introduces the fundamental components of agricultural machinery autonomous driving, including automatic navigation, path planning, control systems, and communication modules. Generally, the methods for automatic navigation technology can be divided into three categories: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Machine Vision, and Laser Radar. The structures, advantages, and disadvantages of different methods and the technical difficulties of current research are summarized and compared. At present, the more successful way is to use GNSS combined with machine vision to provide guarantee for agricultural machinery to avoid obstacles and generate the optimal path. Then the path planning methods are described, including four path planning algorithms based on graph search, sampling, optimization, and learning. This paper proposes 22 available algorithms according to different application scenarios and summarizes the challenges and difficulties that have not been completely solved in the current research. Finally, some suggestions on the difficulties arising in these studies are proposed for further research.

Background: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form a highly adaptable and versatile group of fungi found in natural and man-managed ecosystems. Effector secreted by AM fungi influence symbiotic relationship by modifying host cells, suppressing host defense and promoting infection to derive nutrients from the host. Here, we conducted a reference-based transcriptome sequencing of Funneliformis mosseae BR221 to enhance understanding on the molecular machinery involved in the establishment of interaction between host and AM fungi.

The natural environment and public health are gravely threatened by the enrichment of soil potentially toxic elements (PTEs). To explore the contamination level, sources and human health risks posed by PTEs, high-density soil sampling was carried out in the upper Wei River region (UWRR). The results demonstrated that the pollution risk and ecological risk in UWRR as a whole were at a low level, but there were moderate or higher ecological risks of Hg and Cd in some areas.

In China, the environmental pollution caused by excessive use of chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers (P&F) has received wide attention. Currently, research on P&F reduction mainly focuses on large-scale plains' cultivated land, while research on fragmented cultivated land is severely limited. This study employs the 2021-2023 tracking data of Zhejiang's fragmented cultivated land farmers to analyze the impacts of new agricultural technologies, plot expansion, and contiguous planting on P&F reduction.

Analysis of crop water requirement and its influencing factors are important for optimal allocation of water resources. However, research on variations of climatic factors and their contribution to wheat water requirement in Xinjiang is insufficient. In our study, daily meteorological data during 1961‒2017 in Xinjiang was collected.

Epigenetic mechanisms are integral to plant growth, development, and adaptation to environmental stimuli. Over the past two decades, our comprehension of these complex regulatory processes has expanded remarkably, producing a substantial body of knowledge on both locus-specific mechanisms and genome-wide regulatory patterns. Studies initially grounded in the model plant Arabidopsis have been broadened to encompass a diverse array of crop species, revealing the multifaceted roles of epigenetics in physiological and agronomic traits.
