Differences in disease phenotype of different plants after inoculation. Credit: Ornamental Plant Research Chrysanthemum, celebrated for its ornamental, medicinal, and beverage value, faces significant threats from bacterial and fungal infections, particularly black spot disease caused by Alternaria alternate, which leads to severe economic losses. Current research has focused on developing resistant germplasm as an eco-friendly
(A–C) Classical simulation costs, with the corresponding Schrödinger-Feynman algorithm costs shown in the legend. (D) The optimal random quantum circuit designed by the proposed method for Google’s latest quantum computational advantage experiment. Credit: He-Liang Huang et al. Imagine a world where complex calculations that currently take months for our best supercomputers to crack could be
Expression of CsSERPIN1 correlates with herbivore growth in tea plants. Credit: Horticulture Research Protease inhibitors are a promising strategy for enhancing herbivore resistance in plants, which is crucial for addressing the significant yield losses in crops such as tea plants due to insect herbivores. Serine protease inhibitors (SERPIN) are one of the largest superfamilies of
A model for the BBX44-MYBA1 regulatory loop controlling anthocyanin biosynthesis in grapevine berry. Credit: Horticulture Research Anthocyanins significantly influence grape quality and color, with transcription factors HY5 and MYBA1 playing pivotal roles in their biosynthesis. Recent findings show that VvBBX44, a B-box protein, inhibits anthocyanin production in grapes by suppressing VvHY5 expression, yet the specific
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Corals, the literal foundation of any reef, have adjusted and adapted to their environment over millennia. Yet with rapid global warming, the key question is whether their natural resilience can keep up with this extreme environmental change. While reefs can recover from adverse conditions, sadly the ongoing frequency and severity of
Capturing the earliest stages of freezing in supercooled water drops. Water drops with a 40-µm diameter were injected into a vacuum chamber, in which they cooled rapidly and froze after homogeneous ice nucleation. Single freezing drops were examined using simultaneous X-ray laser diffraction and two-pulse optical imaging. Credit: Nature (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-06283-2 Clouds are a
