The stomatal phenotype is a crucial microscopic characteristic of the leaf surface, and modulating the stomata of maize leaves can enhance photosynthetic carbon assimilation and water use efficiency, thereby playing a vital role in maize yield formation. The evolving imaging and image processing technologies offer effective tools for precise analysis of stomatal phenotypes. This study employed Jingnongke 728 and its parental inbred to capture stomatal images from various leaf positions and abaxial surfaces during key reproductive stages using rapid scanning electron microscopy.

With the rapid advancement of plant phenotyping research, understanding plant genetic information and growth trends has become crucial. Measuring seedling length is a key criterion for assessing seed viability, but traditional ruler-based methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address these limitations, we propose an efficient deep learning approach to enhance plant seedling phenotyping analysis.

Proteins regulate biological functions through the formation of distinct protein complexes. Identification and characterization of these protein-protein interactions are critical to deciphering their mechanism of action. Different antibody-based or cross-linking-based methods have been developed to identify the protein-protein interactions.

Background: Physical activities are widely implemented for non-pharmacological intervention to alleviate depressive symptoms. However, there is little evidence supporting their genotype-specific effectiveness in reducing the risk of self-harm in patients with depression.
Aims: To assess the associations between physical activity and self-harm behaviour and determine the recommended level of physical activity across the genotypes.

Bacterial infections, such as sepsis, require prompt and precise identification of the causative bacteria for appropriate antibiotics treatment. Traditional methods such as culturing take 2-5 days, while newer techniques such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and mass spectrometry are hindered by blood impurities. Consequently, this study developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based acoustofluidic technique for rapid bacterial detection without culturing or lysing.
