Bacteria-like phytoplasmas alternate between plant and insect hosts, secreting proteins that disrupt host development. In this study, we sequenced the complete genome of "Candidatus Phytoplasma oryzae" strain HN2022, associated with rice yellow dwarf (RYD) disease, using PacBio HiFi technology. The strain was classified within the 16Sr XI-B subgroup. Through SignalP v5.0 for prediction and subsequent expression analysis of secreted proteins in Nicotiana benthamiana and rice (Oryza sativa L.), we identified the key virulence effector proteins RY348 and RY378. RY348, a homolog of Secreted Aster Yellows Phytoplasma Effector 54 (SAP54), targets and degrades the MADS-box transcription factors MADS1 and MADS15, causing pollen sterility. Meanwhile, RY378 impacts the strigolactone and auxin signaling pathways, substantially increasing tillering. These findings offer insights into the interactions between plants and phytoplasmas.

Improper storage methods cause food resources to be wasted, and the development of multifunctional intelligent packaging can realize freshness monitoring and extend the shelf life. In this study, an intelligent alizarin/thymol-loaded polycaprolactone/gelatin/zein nanofibrous film was prepared and achieved the dual functions of pH-responsive and antibacterial properties. The film was fabricated using electrospun technology and characterized by SEM, FT-IR, WCA, TGA, DSC, and mechanical property tests, which had good antioxidant properties (81.

Spectroscopic technology is an effective method for estimating rice chlorophyll content. However, redundant spectral information and the complex background of rice in situ challenge the accuracy and robustness of the estimation. To address this problem, this study proposed a band selection method combining spectral color characteristics and established a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on this method to estimate chlorophyll content of rice for black (background-free), clear, muddy, and green algae-covered backgrounds.

Rice is a short-day thermophilic crop that originated from the low latitudes of the tropics and subtropics; it requires high temperatures for growth but is sensitive to low temperatures. Therefore, it is highly important to explore and analyze the molecular mechanism of cold tolerance in rice to expand rice planting areas. Here, we report a phenotypic evaluation based on low-temperature stress in indica rice (R998) and wild rice (GZW) and a comparative transcriptomic study conducted at six time points.

The transition to sedentary agricultural societies in northern China fuelled considerable demographic growth from 5000 to 2000 BC. In this article, we draw together archaeobotanical, zooarchaeological and bioarchaeological data and explore the relationship between several aspects of this transition, with an emphasis on the millet-farming productivity during the Yangshao period and how it facilitated changes in animal husbandry and consolidation of sedentism. We place the period of domestication (the evolution of non-shattering, initial grain size increase and panicle development) between 8300 and 4300 BC.
