Merr.) coordinates multiple physiological adjustments to FL remains poorly understood.This study assessed the effects of FL on soybean morphology and photosynthetic traits by examining changes in photosynthetic gas exchange parameters and chlorophyll(Chl) a fluorescence under alternating high-and low-light conditions.Results indicated that soybeans exposed to FL exhibited reduced dry matter accumulation,smaller and thinner leaves,and a lower Chl a/Chl b levels-characteristics typically associated with plants grown under continuous low-light.Despite these morphological similarities,their photosynthetic gas exchange rates and photosynthetic capacity were maintained at levels comparable to those under steady high light,unlike plants grown under constant low-light.Thus,acclimation to FL is distinct from adaptation to sustained low-light conditions.Correlation analyses revealed that the decline in carbon assimilation under FL primarily stemmed from two factors:the slow recovery of stomatal conductance upon transition to high light and the delayed relaxation of nonphotochemical quenching when light intensity decreased.Therefore,the reduction in carbon assimilation under FL cannot be attributed to low-light phase adjustments but rather reflects a lag in photosynthetic responsiveness to changing light conditions.展开更多

Merr.) coordinates multiple physiological adjustments to FL remains poorly understood.This study assessed the effects of FL on soybean morphology and photosynthetic traits by examining changes in photosynthetic gas exchange parameters and chlorophyll(Chl) a fluorescence under alternating high-and low-light conditions.Results indicated that soybeans exposed to FL exhibited reduced dry matter accumulation,smaller and thinner leaves,and a lower Chl a/Chl b levels-characteristics typically associated with plants grown under continuous low-light.Despite these morphological similarities,their photosynthetic gas exchange rates and photosynthetic capacity were maintained at levels comparable to those under steady high light,unlike plants grown under constant low-light.Thus,acclimation to FL is distinct from adaptation to sustained low-light conditions.Correlation analyses revealed that the decline in carbon assimilation under FL primarily stemmed from two factors:the slow recovery of stomatal conductance upon transition to high light and the delayed relaxation of nonphotochemical quenching when light intensity decreased.Therefore,the reduction in carbon assimilation under FL cannot be attributed to low-light phase adjustments but rather reflects a lag in photosynthetic responsiveness to changing light conditions.

文摘Traditional mining in open pit mines often uses explosives,leading to environmental hazards,with flyrock being a critical issue.In detail,excess flying rock beyond the designated explosion area was identified as the primary cause of fatal and non-fatal blasting hazards in open pit mining.Therefore,the accurate and reliable prediction of flyrock becomes crucial for effectively managing and mitigating associated problems.This study used the Light Gradient Boosting Machine(LightGBM)model to predict flyrock in a lead-zinc mine,with promising results.To improve its accuracy,multi-verse optimizer(MVO)and ant lion optimizer(ALO)metaheuristic algorithms were introduced.Results showed MVO-LightGBM outperformed conventional LightGBM.Additionally,decision tree(DT),support vector machine(SVM),and classification and regression tree(CART)models were trained and compared with MVO-LightGBM.The MVO-LightGBM model excelled over DT,SVM,and CART.This study highlights MVO-LightGBM's effectiveness and potential for broader applications.Furthermore,a multiple parametric sensitivity analysis(MPSA)algorithm was employed to specify the sensitivity of parameters.MPSA results indicated that the highest and lowest sensitivities are relevant to blasted rock per hole and spacing with theγ=1752.12 andγ=49.52,respectively.

文摘Coordinating light and nitrogen(N)distribution within a canopy is essential for improving rice yield and resource use efficiency.However,limited research has examined light and N distribution in response to planting density and N rate,and their relationships with grain yield,radiation use efficiency(RUE),and N use efficiency for grain production(NUEg)in rice.A two-year field experiment was conducted with two hybrid varieties under three N levels,0 kg ha^(-1)(N1),90 kg ha^(-1)(N2)and 180 kg ha^(-1)(N3),and two planting densities,22.2 hills m-2(D1)and 33.3 hills m^(-2)(D2).Results showed 3.4%higher yield and 4.4%higher NUEg under N2D2 compared with N3D1.The extinction coefficient for N(K_(N))and light(K_(L))and their ratio(K_(N)/K_(L))at heading stage were significantly influenced by N rate,planting density,and their interaction.K_(N)decreased with the increase of N input or planting density.Compared to N1,K_(N)decreased by 43.5 and 58.8%under N2 and N3,respectively,while K_(N)under D2 decreased by 16.0%compared to D1.Higher K_(L)and K_(N)/K_(L)values occurred under low N rates,with opposite trends under high N rates.Increased planting density led to decreased K_(L)and K_(N)/K_(L)values.N2D2 demonstrated higher K_(L)and K_(N),and thus comparable K_(N)/K_(L),compared to N3D1.Correlation analysis revealed K_(L)negatively correlated with RUE,while K_(N)and K_(N)/K_(L)positively correlated with NUEg.These findings indicate that increasing planting density under reduced N input could maintain rice yield while enhancing resource use efficiency through regulation of canopy light and N distribution.

文摘Progressive photoreceptor cell death is one of the main pathological features of age-related macular degeneration and eventually leads to vision loss.Ferroptosis has been demonstrated to be associated with retinal degenerative diseases.However,the molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis and photoreceptor cell death in age-related macular degeneration remain largely unexplored.Bioinformatics and biochemical analyses in this study revealed xC^(–),solute carrier family 7 member 11-regulated ferroptosis as the predominant pathological process of photoreceptor cell degeneration in a light-induced dry age-related macular degeneration mouse model.This process involves the nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2-solute carrier family 7 member 11-glutathione peroxidase 4 signaling pathway,through which cystine depletion,iron ion accumulation,and enhanced lipid peroxidation ultimately lead to photoreceptor cell death and subsequent visual function impairment.We demonstrated that solute carrier family 7 member 11 overexpression blocked this process by inhibiting oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo.Conversely,solute carrier family 7 member 11 knockdown or the solute carrier family 7 member 11 inhibitor sulfasalazine and ferroptosis-inducing agent erastin aggravated H_(2)O_(2)-induced ferroptosis of 661W cells.These findings indicate solute carrier family 7 member 11 may be a potential therapeutic target for patients with retinal degenerative diseases including age-related macular degeneration.
文摘The brightest flashlight named Imalent MS32 is capable of outputting up to 200,000 lumens of light,more than any other commercially available flashlight.Imagine having the ability to turn night into day in the palm of yourself and you kind of get a sense of what using the world's brightest flashlight feels and looks like.The Imalent MS32 is so incredibly powerful that the only other flashlight you can even compare it to is the Imalent MS18,the previous holder of the title of“world's brightest flashlight”.And that one was virtually half as powerful as the MS32,with a peak brightness of just 100,000 lumens.The LED‑powered light beam of the MS32 can reach as far as 1,618 meters and is the equivalent of 100 car lights in terms of brightness.

文摘The unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)images captured under low-light conditions are often suffering from noise and uneven illumination.To address these issues,we propose a low-light image enhancement algorithm for UAV images,which is inspired by the Retinex theory and guided by a light weighted map.Firstly,we propose a new network for reflectance component processing to suppress the noise in images.Secondly,we construct an illumination enhancement module that uses a light weighted map to guide the enhancement process.Finally,the processed reflectance and illumination components are recombined to obtain the enhancement results.Experimental results show that our method can suppress the noise in images while enhancing image brightness,and prevent over enhancement in bright regions.Code and data are available at https://gitee.com/baixiaotong2/uav-images.git.

文摘In the tropical regions represented by Hainan,there are abundant solar and thermal resources,and it is relatively suitable for the construction of photovoltaic greenhouse(PVG).However,the construction of PVG still relies mainly on experience and is incapable of quantifying the balance between the photovoltaic(PV)generation and the light requirements for agricultural production.As a result,actual PVGs are primarily PV-based,without carefully considering the needs of agricultural daylighting.To quantify the influence of the design parameters of PVGs and the layout of PV panels on the internal daylighting of serrated PVGs,and to optimize the daylighting design of the roof,this paper utilizes the Design Builder software to establish gradient models for a multi-span serrated-type PVG in tropical regions.Gradient models were established in terms of aspects,namely span,width of longitudinal/transverse daylighting strip,height,roof angle,and photovoltaic panel coverage rate(PCR).Daylighting in the greenhouse of each gradient model was simulated,and with the annual average daily light integral(A_(DLI))and distribution uniformity(DU)as evaluation indicators,the influence of various design parameters on the daylighting inside the greenhouse was quantified.The result reveals that:(1)PCR is the decisive indicator for daylighting in the PVG,and a function between PCR and the A_(DLI) is derived as A_(DLI)=-15.5 PCR+16.841;(2)Increasing the width of longitudinal daylighting strip significantly improves the A_(DLI) and enhances DU while increasing the span has a noticeable effect on improving A_(DLI) but does not significantly enhance DU;(3)Increasing the eave height without changing PCR does not enhance A_(DLI) but effectively improves DU;increasing the transverse daylighting strip and adjusting the roof angle hardly improves A_(DLI).In summary,it is recommended that the optimal span for PVGs in tropical regions be set within the range of 6.5-8.0m,and the eave height be set within the range of 2.5-3.5m.Preferably,the longitudinal daylighting strip with a width ranging from 0.5-0.8m should be installed.Based on the above relationship function,the PCR can be calculated according to the appropriate light demand for the cultivated crops.The daylighting design theory proposed in this paper can provide a theoretical basis and reference for the healthy development of the PV industry in tropical regions.

文摘Stomata are tiny pores on the plant leaf surface that regulate the exchange of water and gases between the plant and the external environment.They are crucial for photosynthesis,water use efficiency(WUE),and the plant’s ability to adapt to environmental changes.Stomatal movement is vital for understanding how plants adapt to environmental stress and optimize resource utilization.Changes in environmental conditions,especially the quality and intensity of light throughout the day,affect stomatal dynamics and diurnal behavior,which in turn impact photosynthetic efficiency and water-use efficiency.In this review,we summarize the biophysical principles and mechanisms of stomatal movement regulated by ion transport at the plasma membrane,vacuolar membrane and metabolic activity through persulfidation or S-nitrosylation modifications.Specifically,we focus on recent progress in the regulation of stomatal movement by different light qualities,and summarize the photochemical and biochemical events underlying photoreceptors as well as the knowledge of novel regulatory functions and signaling in the multilayer control of stomatal movement and environmental adaptation.Furthermore,as rising global temperatures and increased water needs of farming methods are expected to escalate future crop losses,we explore the potential of smart LED lighting and gene editing technology in enhancing photosynthetic efficiency and water-use efficiency,leading to increased crop biomass and higher crop yields.

文摘Supplemental lighting has emerged as a widely adopted technique in greenhouse cultivation to enhance product visibility andimprove theflavor characteristics ofChinese bayberry(Myrica rubra)in the internationalmarket.While studies on lighting have predominantly focused on colorimetry,limited research has addressed the precise control of chromatic parameters and their effect on fruit quality.This study examined the effects of varying lighting conditions,specifically correlated color temperatures and illuminance,on the growth and quality of Chinese bayberry varieties“Black Charcoal”and“Dongkui”using a precision control system.The bayberry plants were exposed to a constant illuminance of 155μmol·m^(-2)·s^(-1) with chromatic levels ranging from 2250 to 6000 K.Black Charcoal demonstrated substantial improvements under different chromatic parameters,with fruit weight and size increasing by 40%and 14%,respectively.Furthermore,soluble solids content increased by 4% and vitamin C content rose by 142%,while organic acid content decreased by 30%.Dongkui,however,showed more modest responses under identical conditions,with fruit weight increasing by 2% and fruit size decreasing by 1%.Soluble solids and vitamin C contents showed minimal increases of 2% and 2.5%,respectively,while organic acid content decreased by 8%.The findings demonstrate that supplemental LED lighting significantly enhances both yield and quality parameters in Black Charcoal compared with Dongkui.These results provide valuable insights for optimizing Chinese bayberry cultivation,and the precise control methodology developed can be used to improve supplemental lighting strategies in other fruit and plant species.

文摘Light and nitrogen(N)are two critically environmental factors essential for plant survival,as they constitute the fundamental molecular framework of plant cells and significantly influence patterns of plant growth and development.Light is the driving force behind photosynthesis,a process that converts light energy into chemical energy stored as sugars.Additionally,light acts as a direct signal that can modulate plant morphogenesis and structural development.Nitrogen,as the most crucial mineral nutrient for plants,is a component of numerous biomolecules.It also functions as a signaling molecule,regulating plant growth and development.Moreover,light and nitrogen directly regulate the balance of carbon(C)and N within plants,affecting numerous biochemical reactions and various physiological processes.This review focuses on the interactions between light and nitrogen in physiological,metabolic,and molecular levels.We will also discuss the regulatory networks and mechanisms through which light and nitrogen influence C and N absorption and metabolism in plants.

文摘Green space plays an important role in the sustainable urban development.This study proposes the Green Lighting Index(GLI),integrating nighttime light data from SDGSAT-1 and theNormalized DifferenceVegetation Index(NDVI)from Sentinel-2,to explore the nighttime human activity in green spaces across three major urban agglomerations in China:Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei(BTH),the Yangtze River Delta(YRD),and the Greater Bay Area(GBA).The findings reveal that,for most green spaces,the relationship between nighttime lighting and green spaces is predominantly exclusionary.However,a synergistic relationship is observed in some vibrant green spaces characterized by abundant nighttime lighting.This synergy is evident in high GLI levels,which are strongly positively correlated with per capita Gross Domestic Product(GDP).This research underscores the importance of integrating nighttime perspectives into green space studies.We believe GLI could be used in the assessment of green space quality and contribute to the development of sustainable cities.
