Five inbred lines in at least S6 generation were developed and used to develop F1s hybrid (in all possible combination excluding reciprocal), lines mixtures (Syn-0) and synthetic generations of Syn-1. Evaluation of the entries showed the lines to have high general and specific combining ability, high yield and high average degree of cross-fertilization (0.36);hetrosis relative to mid-parent for yield was 67%. Lines mixture from four inbred lines (Hudeiba/93, Bassabier, Ed-Damar and Shabah) gave the highest yield of 3.40 t/ha for Syn-0 and 3.96 t/ha for Syn-1. Compared to the average yield t/ha of the pure stand of the four lines (3.11 t/ha), the increase in yield of was 9% in sy-0 and 27% in Syn-1. Compared to the individual yield t/ha of the pure stand of the lines, the performance of Syn-0 surpassed that of the individual pure stands of the linesby 14% for Hudiaba/93 and Bassabier and 4% for Ed-Damar and 7% for Shabah, whereas the increase in performance of Syn-1 compared to pure stand of the lines was 32%, 25% and 21%, respectively. The results confirm the previous knowledge on yield increase with successive syn-generations in faba bean due to the effects of heterogeneity and heterozygosity. Such results could be used as a base for an effective breeding program for improvement of yield of faba bean grown under the semi-arid zones.展开更多

文摘Cotton production faces significant challenges from insect pests,with chemical pesticide use becoming increasingly limited by resistance and environmental concerns.This study explores the potential use of caffeine,a natural plant alkaloid,as an environmentally friendly insect resistance strategy in cotton.Exogenous caffeine application demonstrated potent insecticidal effects against cotton bollworm(Helicoverpa armigera)larvae,with concentrations≥2 mg mL−1 causing near-complete feeding cessation and up to 70%larval mortality.Building on this,we engineered transgenic cotton(Gossypium hirsutum cv.Jin668)for heterologous caffeine biosynthesis by introducing three key N-methyltransferase genes(CaXMT1,CaMXMT1,CaDXMT1)by multiple gene transformation.Transgenic lines expressing all three genes showed remarkable caffeine accumulation(up to 3.59 mg g−1 dry weight),whereas two-gene combinations exhibited wild-type-level production.Feeding preference assays revealed that caffeine-enriched cotton strongly deterred feeding by H.armigera.Non-choice feeding trials demonstrated reduced leaf consumption and reduced larval growth in H.armigera fed on caffeine-producing cotton.The study highlights the effectiveness of synthetic biology approaches using the TGSII-UNiE multigene stacking system,despite challenges in transgene stability.This work advances plant-derived insect resistance research and provides a sustainable framework for reducing chemical pesticide reliance in cotton production,while underscoring unique potential of cotton as a synthetic biology platform for secondary metabolite engineering.

文摘Betalain,an economically valuable water-soluble natural plant pigment,is prized for its strong antioxidant activity,making it popular as a dietary supplement and a visual marker for plant transformation.However,market demand significantly outstrips current production capacity.This study reports the development of an efficient push-and-pull multigene strategy based on polycistronic expression and metabolic flux regulation to enhance betalain biosynthesis in transgenic maize(Zea mays L.)endosperm.We engineered a novel enhanced RUBY(eRUBY)system derived from the original polycistronic RUBY construct(CYP76AD1P2ADODA1P2ADOPA5GT unit,abbreviated CDG)by introducing arogenate dehydrogenase(ADHα)to increase the L-tyrosine substrate supply.All the genes were driven by the endosperm-specific promoter.Fusion of ADHαinto a single polycistronic eRUBY construct(CDGA)produced significantly higher betanin(6.88 mg g−1 dry weight)and isobetanin(1.81 mg g−1 dry weight)levels than in CDG+A,which stacked the ADHαcassette independently with CDG.The high betalain accumulation in CDGA lines(which also exhibited higher transgene copy number)resulted in a 2.85–7.58-fold improvement in endosperm antioxidant capacity compared to WT(versus 2.48–2.80-fold in CDG+A).Importantly,transgenic plants maintained a normal phenotype.Transcriptome and metabolome analyses further indicated that metabolism of phenylalanine,alanine,aspartate,and glutamate contributes to betalain production.Hybridization with sweet corn successfully created a high-sugar eRUBY maize variety.Collectively,these results demonstrate the successful development of a novel maize germplasm with significantly enhanced nutritional value through high betalain accumulation.

文摘Plants produce a vast array of specialized metabolites that serve as essential defenses against herbivores and pathogens.However,the capacity to produce these compounds differs substantially among plant species and is frequently diminished during domestication.Advances in synthetic metabolic engineering enable efficient elucidation and engineering of plant specialized metabolic pathways active in crop pest and pathogen resistance.This review summarizes strategies and workflows for selecting defensive metabolic pathways,identifying candidate biosynthetic genes,and rewiring native or introducing heterologous pathways to enhance crop resistance to pests and pathogens.Strategies include weighted gene co-expression network construction,biosynthetic gene cluster scanning,and metabolite genome-wide association studies for pathway discovery,as well as transcriptional reprogramming,enzyme activity optimization,and transporter deployment for pathway engineering.We further discuss challenges in using synthetic metabolic engineering to enhance crop resistance and highlight the potential of artificial intelligence in addressing them.

文摘Synthetic speech detection is an essential task in the field of voice security,aimed at identifying deceptive voice attacks generated by text-to-speech(TTS)systems or voice conversion(VC)systems.In this paper,we propose a synthetic speech detection model called TFTransformer,which integrates both local and global features to enhance detection capabilities by effectively modeling local and global dependencies.Structurally,the model is divided into two main components:a front-end and a back-end.The front-end of the model uses a combination of SincLayer and two-dimensional(2D)convolution to extract high-level feature maps(HFM)containing local dependency of the input speech signals.The back-end uses time-frequency Transformer module to process these feature maps and further capture global dependency.Furthermore,we propose TFTransformer-SE,which incorporates a channel attention mechanism within the 2D convolutional blocks.This enhancement aims to more effectively capture local dependencies,thereby improving the model’s performance.The experiments were conducted on the ASVspoof 2021 LA dataset,and the results showed that the model achieved an equal error rate(EER)of 3.37%without data augmentation.Additionally,we evaluated the model using the ASVspoof 2019 LA dataset,achieving an EER of 0.84%,also without data augmentation.This demonstrates that combining local and global dependencies in the time-frequency domain can significantly improve detection accuracy.

文摘A trace analytical method based on solid-phase extraction gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(SPE–GC–MS/MS)was developed for the rapid detection of 256 semi-volatile organic compounds(SVOCs),including 25 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs),70 polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs),123 pesticides,20 phthalate esters(PAEs),4 organophosphate esters(OPEs),9 synthetic musks(SMs),and 5 UV filters(UVs)in water.No-tably,this method provided a decent linearity of calibration standards(R^(2)>0.999),excellent method limits of quantification(MLOQs)(0.12–11.41 ng/L),satisfactory matrix spiking recovery rates(60.4%–126%),and high precision(intra-day relative standard deviations(RSDs):1.0%–10.0%,inter-day RSDs:3.0%–15.0%,and inter-week RSDs:3.4%–15.7%),making it suitable for trace-level studies.Statistical analysis revealed that SVOCs with higher volatility exhibited enhanced recovery rates.Validation of the methodology involved analyzing SVOCs in real spring water and river water samples.Twenty-seven SVOCs were detected in spring water and 58 in river water,with an average concentration of 631.73 and 16,095 ng/L,respectively.Among the detected SVOCs,PAEs constituted the predominant proportion.This study underscored the presence of SVOCs contamination specifi-cally within the spring water,although SVOCs concentrations in river water were significantly greater than those found in spring water.In summary,this sensitive method based on SPE–GC–MS/MS was successfully developed and validated for the rapid analysis of a diverse array of 256 SVOCs at trace levels in water,including not only the traditional highly valued PAHs,PCBs,pesticides,and PAEs,but also the emerging OPEs,UVs,and SMs.

文摘Microbe-based soil inoculants offer a promising approach to sustainable agriculture by reducing reliance on agrochemicals and minimizing environmental damages.The heavy use of chemicals in conventional agriculture poses significant challenges to crop production and environmental health.This review explores the integration of microbe-based inoculants,strigolactones(SLs),and nanotechnology to enhance agricultural sustainability.Nanobiofertilizers containing nanoparticles such as Ag,Zn,Fe,ZnO,TiO_(2),SiO_(2),and MgO can provide essential crop protection,while algae species like Chlorella spp.,Arthrospira spp.,and Dunaliella spp.serve as promising biostimulants and biofertilizers.Additionally,plant growth-promoting microorganisms such as Rhizobium,Azotobacter,Azospirillum,Pseudomonas,Bacillus,and Trichoderma,alongside synthetic SLs like GR24,contribute to improving crop yield and stress tolerance.Strigolactone signaling pathways have also been explored for their roles in plant growth and resilience.Recent innovations in biofertilizer research,particularly in genomics,transcriptomics,and metabolomics,have advanced our understanding of plant-microbe interactions.These omics-based technologies help develop tailored biofertilizer formulations suited to specific crops,soils,and environmental conditions.The combination of biofertilizers,nanoparticles,and SLs fosters nutrient uptake,enhances stress tolerance,and promotes overall plant growth.Case studies from various agroecosystems show that biofertilizers can improve soil health,boost crop yields,reduce chemical fertilizer dependency,and lower environmental impacts.With precision farming,biofertilizers offer sustainable solutions to various challenges,including climate change,soil degradation,and food security.This review discusses the mechanisms by which GR24,nanoparticle,and microbe-based biofertilizers benefit plants,emphasizing their potential for sustainable agriculture and future challenges.
文摘1.Introduction Crop breeding is transitioning to engineering by synthetic biology.Conventional breeding,constrained by limited genetic variation and lengthy development cycles,cannot meet the challenges of micronutrient malnutrition and yield reductions from climate change with sufficient speed or precision[1].Consequently,agriculture is transitioning from selection-based breeding to designbased engineering.Synthetic biology enables the precision modification of metabolic pathways and the construction of novel trait combinations[1,2].This special issue,Synthetic Biology for Crop Improvement,brings together 26 articles that showcase the field’s transition from laboratory curiosity to field-validated agricultural technology.The collection spans 13 plant species,from staple grains and major industrial crops to horticultural and medicinal plants,demonstrating the universal applicability of metabolic engineering.These studies reveal maturation toward field readiness:independent groups achieving reproducible results in identical pathways,greenhouse concepts advancing to multi-season field trials,and engineered traits delivering measurable agronomic value.This progression answers the central question in crop synthetic biology,shifting the paradigm from asking“can it work?”to demonstrating“how it works,and here are the yields”.This transformation is grounded in understanding and manipulating plant metabolism at molecular resolution[3].

文摘Bone fractures represent a significant global healthcare burden.Although fractures typically heal on their own,some fail to regenerate properly,leading to nonunion,a condition that causes prolonged disability,morbidity,and mortality.The challenge of treating nonunion fractures is further complicated in patients with underlying bone disorders where systemic and local factors impair bone healing.Traditional treatment approaches,including autografts,allografts,xenografts,and synthetic biomaterials,face limitations such as donor site pain,immune rejection,and insufficient mechanical strength,underscoring the need for alternative strategies.Biologic therapies have emerged as promising tools to enhance bone regeneration by leveraging the body’s natural healing processes.This review explores the critical role of conventional and emerging biologics in fracture healing.We categorize biologic therapies into protein-based treatments,gene and transcript therapies,small molecules,peptides,and cell-based therapies,highlighting their mechanisms of action,advantages,and clinical relevance.Finally,we examine the potential applications of biologics in treating fractures associated with bone disorders such as osteoporosis,osteogenesis imperfecta,rickets,osteomalacia,Paget’s disease,and bone tumors.By integrating biologic therapies with existing biomaterial-based strategies,these innovative approaches have the potential to transform clinical management and improve outcomes for patients with difficult-to-heal fractures.

文摘Source-sink coordination serves as the foundation for improving crop yield.Current research primarily focuses on individual factors,such as increasing the source or expanding the sink,which often leads to disrupted source-sink balance,causing trade-offs among photosynthesis,yield,and stress response.To address these limitations,we present an integrated synthetic biological framework that synergistically enhances photosynthetic efficiency(source capacity),sink optimization,and abiotic stress tolerance.We developed an editing-overexpression coupling(EOC)vector system enabling simultaneous overexpression of four photosynthesis-enhancing genes(Cyt c6,PsbA,FBPase,OsMGT3),knockout of three yield-limiting genes(GS3,Gn1a,OsAAP5),and self-excision of selection markers,gene-editing modules,and fragment deletion cassettes.Field evaluations of CFMP-gga transgenic lines revealed significant physiological improvements,including 13%–17%increase in photosynthetic rates,improved chlorophyll fluorescence parameters,and increased stomatal conductance.These enhancements translated into remarkable agronomic gains,including 18.7%–22.3%higher grain yield,23.1%–26.1%increased biomass,and improved panicle architecture(increased grain size and grain number per panicle).The engineered lines maintained superior thermotolerance(under 42°C stress)and alkali tolerance(at pH 10)compared to wild-type controls.This study provides a strategy for enhancing crop yield by demonstrating that coordinated multi-gene regulation of source-sink dynamics,coupled with stress resilience engineering,achieves concurrent improvements.

文摘Crack detection accuracy in computer vision is often constrained by limited annotated datasets.Although Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)have been applied for data augmentation,they frequently introduce blurs and artifacts.To address this challenge,this study leverages Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models(DDPMs)to generate high-quality synthetic crack images,enriching the training set with diverse and structurally consistent samples that enhance the crack segmentation.The proposed framework involves a two-stage pipeline:first,DDPMs are used to synthesize high-fidelity crack images that capture fine structural details.Second,these generated samples are combined with real data to train segmentation networks,thereby improving accuracy and robustness in crack detection.Compared with GAN-based approaches,DDPM achieved the best fidelity,with the highest Structural Similarity Index(SSIM)(0.302)and lowest Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity(LPIPS)(0.461),producing artifact-free images that preserve fine crack details.To validate its effectiveness,six segmentation models were tested,among which LinkNet consistently achieved the best performance,excelling in both region-level accuracy and structural continuity.Incorporating DDPM-augmented data further enhanced segmentation outcomes,increasing F1 scores by up to 1.1%and IoU by 1.7%,while also improving boundary alignment and skeleton continuity compared with models trained on real images alone.Experiments with varying augmentation ratios showed consistent improvements,with F1 rising from 0.946(no augmentation)to 0.957 and IoU from 0.897 to 0.913 at the highest ratio.These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of diffusion-based augmentation for complex crack detection in structural health monitoring.
文摘Considering the drastic variations in the surface elevation of the piedmont region in the Bai Cheng West Area,there is no reference point within the Reference Ground Line(RG line)of the starting point of the synthetic seismic records in the process of calibration of the horizon.Through the analysis of the process and properties of the production of the RG line,in the processing of seismic data,it is indicated that the position of the synthetic data of seismic records is not located at the beginning of the RG line.Rather,it must be at the time point of the seismic profile at the elevation of a datum position of the static value of less than the datum plane.Both the RG line and the elevation static correction value line can easily be seen by computerizing the calculated value of the elevation static correction of the datum plane relating to the seismic section and plotting it on the seismic section.To achieve a good calibration with the synthetic seismogram,it is possible to set the starting point of the synthetic seismogram on the elevation static correction value line that is situated at the place of the Common Mid-Point(CMP).In the current paper,a systematic overview of methods and safety procedures for establishing the seismic interpretation work area and horizon calibration in seismic interpretation has been reviewed,which will form an effective guide towards seismic interpretation under the complicated surface conditions in the Bai Cheng west region.

文摘Accurate identification of water sources is crucial for effective water management and safety in mining operations.However,imbalanced water sample datasets often lead to suboptimal classification accuracy.To address this challenge,this study proposes a novel water source identification method integrating Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique(SMOTE),Zebra Optimization Algorithm(ZOA),and Light Gradient Boosting Machine(LightGBM).Initially,SMOTE is utilized to synthesize samples for the minority class within the imbalanced dataset,thereby generating a balanced water sample dataset and mitigating class distribution disparities.Subsequently,an efficient water source identification model is constructed by combining ZOA with LightGBM,leveraging the strengths of both algorithms.The model’s performance is validated using a test set and compared with other common classification models.Results demonstrate that SMOTE significantly alleviates class imbalance and enhances the classification accuracy of LightGBM for minority class water samples.ZOA parameter tuning accelerates model convergence and further improves classification accuracy,optimizing the model’s overall performance.In experimental validation,the proposed SMOTE-ZOA-LightGBM model achieved an accuracy of 88.41%and a F1 score of 88.24%,outperforming six other classification models.The method proposed in this paper can accurately identify water source types,effectively addressing the issue of low classification accuracy caused by imbalanced water sample data.It provides reliable technical support and scientific basis for identifying and preventing water inrush sources in mines.

文摘Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)have become valuable tools in medical imaging,enabling realistic image synthesis for enhancement,augmentation,and restoration.However,their integration into clinical workflows raises concerns,particularly the risk of subtle distortions or hallucinations that may undermine diagnostic accuracy and weaken trust in AI-assisted decision-making.To address this challenge,we propose a hybrid deep learning framework designed to detect GAN-induced artifacts in medical images,thereby reinforcing the reliability of AI-driven diagnostics.The framework integrates low-level statistical descriptors,including high-frequency residuals and Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix(GLCM)texture features,with high-level semantic representations extracted from a pre-trained ResNet18.This dual-stream approach enables detection of both pixel-level anomalies and structural inconsistencies introduced by GAN-based manipulation.We validated the framework on a curated dataset of 10,000 medical images,evenly split between authentic and GAN-generated samples across four modalities:MRI,CT,X-ray,and fundus photography.To improve generalizability to real-world clinical settings,we incorporated domain adaptation strategies such as adversarial training and style transfer,reducing domain shift by 15%.Experimental results demonstrate robust performance,achieving 92.6%accuracy and an F1-score of 0.91 on synthetic test data,and maintaining strong performance on real-world GAN-modified images with 87.3%accuracy and an F1-score of 0.85.Additionally,the model attained an AUC of 0.96 and an average precision of 0.92,outperforming conventional GAN detection pipelines and baseline Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)architectures.These findings establish the proposed framework as an effective and reliable solution for detecting GAN-induced hallucinations in medical imaging,representing an important step toward building trustworthy and clinically deployable AI systems.
