Polyploidy in plants can enhance stress resistance and secondary metabolite production, offering potential benefits for Clausena lansium (L.) Skeel, a medicinally valuable species. However, systematic studies of polyploidy-induced morphological, anat...

A study was conducted to examine the effects of the spray application of nine antifungal products, including microbial-derived fungicides, plant-derived fungicides, and chemical fungicides, on the grass Achnatherum inebrians that was either host to E...

The threshing drum, a core component in combine harvesters, experiences significant unbalanced vibrations during high-speed rotation, leading to severe mechanical wear, increased energy consumption, elevated noise levels, potential safety hazards, an...

As a core component of a fully automatic pepper transplanter, the performance of the seedling-picking mechanism is of particular significance. However, existing seedling-picking mechanisms have problems such as being prone to damaging the seedling ro...

Insect pests remain a major threat to agricultural productivity, particularly in open-field cropping systems where conventional monitoring methods are labor-intensive and lack scalability. This study presents the design, implementation, and field eva...

WRKY transcription factors play key roles in plant immune responses, including resistance to fungal pathogens. In the present study, we identified a flax resistance-related gene Lus10021999, named LuWRKY39. Here, to identify the role of WRKY transcri...

This study aims to characterize the emissions of ammonia (NH3) and methane (CH4) from naturally ventilated dairy barns located in cold regions during the winter season, thereby providing a scientific basis for optimizing dairy barn environmental mana...

A multi-parameter optimization-based design method for soil-mixing blades was proposed to address the issue of excessive straw residue in the seeding layer after maize straw incorporation. A discrete element model simulating the interaction between t...

This experiment examined whether multiparous sows fed a diet lower in energy and lysine at a reduced feed allowance would still mobilise fat and (or) protein to support piglet growth and negatively impact subsequent reproductive performance. A total...

Calorific value and moisture content are the key indices to evaluate Caragana pellet fuel’s quality and combustion characteristics. Calorific value is the key index to measure the energy released by energy plants during combustion, which determ...
