Published: January 2025

IntroductionWith the advent of technologies such as deep learning in agriculture, a novel approach to classifying wheat seed varieties has emerged. However, some existing deep learning models encounter challenges, including long processing times, high computational demands, and low classification accuracy when analyzing wheat seed images, which can hinder their ability to meet real-time requirements.MethodsTo address these challenges, we propose a lightweight wheat seed classification model called LWheatNet. This model integrates a mixed attention module with multiple stacked inverted residual convolutional networks. First, we introduce a mixed attention mechanism that combines channel attention and spatial attention in parallel. This approach enhances the feature representation of wheat seed images. Secondly, we design stacked inverted residual networks to extract features from wheat seed images. Each network consists of three core layers, with each core layer is comprising one downsampling unit and multiple basic units. To minimize model parameters and computational load without sacrificing performance, each unit utilizes depthwise separable convolutions, channel shuffle, and channel split techniques.ResultsTo validate the effectiveness of the proposed model, we conducted comparative experiments with five classic network models: AlexNet, VGG16, MobileNet V2, MobileNet V3, and ShuffleNet V2. The results demonstrate that LWheatNet achieves the highest performance, with an accuracy of 98.59% on the test set and a model size of just 1.33 M. This model not only surpasses traditional CNN networks but also offers significant advantages for lightweight networks.DiscussionThe LWheatNet model proposed in this paper maintains high recognition accuracy while occupying minimal storage space. This makes it well-suited for real-time classification and recognition of wheat seed images on low-performance devices in the future.

IntroductionMitochondria are essential organelles that provide energy for plants. They are semi-autonomous, maternally inherited, and closely linked to cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in plants. Lonicera macranthoides, a widely used medicinal plant from the Caprifoliaceae family, is rich in chlorogenic acid (CGA) and its analogues, which are known for their antiviral and anticancer properties. However, studies on the mitogenome of L. macranthoides still remain limited.MethodsThe mitochondrial DNA contained in the whole genome DNA was extracted from a male sterile cultivar of L. macranthoides, named ‘Yulei 1’. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and third-generation sequencing (TGS) technologies were combined to obtain the mitogenome. RNA editing events were identified by integrating the mitogenome data with RNA sequencing data from leaf, stem, and flower tissues. The potential causes of male sterility in ‘Yulei 1’ were analyzed based on the loss of functional genes, mitogenome rearrangements, RNA editing events, and open reading frames (ORFs).Results and discussionThe complete mitogenome of L. macranthoides ‘Yulei 1’ was obtained for the first time, with a length of 1,002,202 bp. It contains 48 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 26 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. Additionally, 79 simple sequence repeats (SSRs), 39 tandem repeats, and 99 dispersed repeats were identified. Among these, two direct repeats (RP1a/1b, RP2a/2b) and two inverse repeats (RP3a/b, RP4a/b) may facilitate mitogenome recombination. Gene transfer analysis revealed that 4.36% and 21.98% of mitogenomic sequences mapped to the chloroplast and nuclear genomes, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that L. macranthoides is closest to L. japonica at the mitogenome level. Notably, RNA editing events varied across different plant tissues, with 357 editing sites in 30 PCGs in leaves, 138 sites in 24 PCGs in flowers, and 68 sites in 13 PCGs in stems. Finally, all indications of CMS in the mitogenome were screened, including the detection of ORFs, and the findings showed no mutations in the mitogenome that would explain the sterility of ‘Yulei 1’. Overall, our study provides a complete mitogenome of L. macranthoides, which will aid in its genetic marker exploration, evolutionary relationship analysis, and breeding programs.

IntroductionMelatonin significantly enhances the tolerance of plants to biotic and abiotic stress, and plays an important role in plant resistance to salt stress. However, its role and molecular mechanisms in eggplant salt stress resistance have been rarely reported. In previous studies, we experimentally demonstrated that melatonin can enhance the salt stress resistance of eggplants.MethodsIn this study, we treated salt-stressed eggplant plants with melatonin and a control treatment with water, then conducted physiological and biochemical tests, transcriptomic and metabolomic sequencing, and RT-qPCR validation at different stages after treatment.ResultsThe results showed that exogenous melatonin can alleviate the adverse effects of salt stress on plants by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes, reducing the content of reactive oxygen species in plants, and increasing the content of organic osmoprotectants. Transcriptomic and metabolomic data, as well as combined analysis, indicate that melatonin can activate the metabolic pathways of plant resistance to adverse stress. Compared to the control treatment with water, melatonin can activate the genes of the α-linolenic acid metabolism pathway and promote the accumulation of metabolites in this pathway, with significant effects observed 48 hours after treatment, and significantly activates the expression of genes such as SmePLA2, SmeLOXs and SmeOPR et al. and the accumulation of metabolites such as α-Linolenic acid, (9R,13R)-12-oxophytodienoic acid, 9(S)-HpOTrE and (+)-7-iso-Jasmonic acid. RT-qPCR validated the activating effect of melatonin on the candidate genes of the a-linolenic acid metabolism pathway.DiscussionThis study analyzed the molecular mechanism of melatonin in alleviating eggplant salt stress, providing a theoretical foundation for the application of melatonin in enhancing eggplant salt stress resistance in production.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundFatigue is a prevalent issue among cancer patients. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an individualized intervention that empowers patients and caregivers to actively participate in the treatment process. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis examined the impact of CBT on fatigue in cancer patients.MethodsArticles published up to April 2023 were systematically searched in Scopus, PubMed, and the Web of Science using relevant keywords. All randomized clinical trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of CBT on fatigue in cancer patients were included. Statistical analyses were conducted using Stata version 14, with a significance level set at a p-value of &lt;0.05.ResultsThe current systematic review and meta-analysis encompasses 10 RCTs. CBT demonstrated a significant reduction in fatigue scores among cancer patients [standardized mean difference (WMD): −2.50; 95%CI: −3.43, −1.56; I2 = 95.8%, p &lt; 0.001]. This effect was consistent across all subgroup analyses.ConclusionThis study underscores the significant impact of CBT on fatigue in cancer patients. Further randomized clinical trials focusing on various cancer types are warranted to validate and build upon these findings.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundIncreased taxation on alcohol and tobacco is among the cost-effective measures used to deal with the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) globally. Despite adopting such efforts, the impacts of taxation on alcohol and tobacco are yet to be fully understood.ObjectiveThe study's objective is to find empirical evidence regarding changes in the NCD mortality rate associated with changes in the tax rates of tobacco and alcohol.MethodsThe study adopted the System Generalized Method of Moments (SGMM) to explore the relationship between levels of taxes and NCD mortality rates. The SGMM allowed the inclusion of the dependent variable as an explanatory variable, assuming reverse causality was assumed.ResultsThere appears to be a negative relationship between increased taxes and the rates of NCDs. Specifically, we provide empirical evidence supporting the negative association between taxes on alcohol and tobacco cigarettes and the mortality rates from NCDs, which aligns with the propositions advocated by the World Health Organization (WHO). Additionally, the interaction between alcohol taxes on spirits and beer indicates a possibility of complementarity, consistent with taxation principles. Notably, we also observed that higher tobacco cigarette prices are negatively associated with NCD mortality rates.ConclusionThe results indicate that increasing taxes on major health risk factors is necessary to reduce non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Implementing these tax increases will likely help achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.4, which aims to reduce NCD mortality by one-third by the year 2030.

IntroductionThe residual black wolfberry fruit (RBWF) is rich in nutrients and contains a diverse range of active substances, which may offer a viable alternative to antibiotics. This experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of varying levels of RBWF on the growth performance and rumen microorganisms of fattening sheep, and to quantify its economic benefits.MethodsIn this experiment, 40 three-month-old and male Duolang sheep with an average weight of 29.85 kg, selected for their propensity to gain weight, were randomly assigned to one of four groups, with ten sheep in each group. To this end, each group was fed with a different proportion of RBWF (0%, 2%, 5%, 8%), and rumen fluid samples were collected to detect differences in fermentation parameters and microbial structure.ResultsThe findings indicate that the dry matter intake, OM and NDF apparent digestibility of Duolang sheep in the H2 group were found to be significantly higher than those observed in the other groups (P &lt; 0.05). The concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), including acetate, propionate, iso-butyrate, butyrate and iso-valerate, in rumen fluid demonstrated a linear increase with the supplementation of RBWF in the diet (P &lt; 0.05). The dominant bacteria in the rumen of Duolang sheep were identified as Prevotella, Christensenellaceae R7 group, NK4A214 group, Ruminococcus, and Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group. Compared with the CK group, the relative abundance of Prevotella, NK4A214 group, unclassified Prevotellaceae and Lachnospiraceae NK3A20 group in the rumen of sheep in each experimental group increased to varying degrees. The gross profit of the H2 group was significantly higher than that of the other groups.ConclusionIn conclusion, the supplementation of RBWF has been demonstrated to enhance the growth performance of Duolang sheep, optimise rumen fermentation parameters, and ultimately increase gross profit, of which 5 % is the best.
Critiquing the representation of life and death in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023): an ethical perspective
Authors: Malik Garima 
Published: January 2025

Since the start of the atomic age, the value of life and gravity of mass deaths have been severely undermined in narratives on/related to the nuclear bombings. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer similarly fails to address many critical ethical perspectives regarding representation of life and death. The paper explores the movie's treatment of life and death and the underlying philosophy of nuclearism, which devalues the lives of the 'other', and shapes the 'sublime' representations of atomic bomb scientists and the science behind the bomb. The eulogization of the atomic bomb science and its scientists create a worldview that prioritizes violence over life and death of the 'other' who are victims of that violence. To contrast and represent an alternative outlook, a philosophy which prioritizes life and acknowledges the weight of mass deaths, as is appropriate for narratives on/related to mass atrocities like Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is explored. This philosophy is explored through a comparison with Japanese atomic bomb literature, which provides the victim's perspective. The comparison highlighting the differing perspectives of representations on a very crucial issue. The paper concludes with importance of embodying suffering of the victims in representations and giving weightage to death and mourning to emphasize the value of life. The analysis of the issue is also important as cultural representations influence the public's acceptance or rejection of nuclear weapon and its developments, indirectly shaping whether further suffering is inflicted on the world or peace prevails.
