SlTHM27-SlGAD2 model regulates the cold tolerance in tomato by regulating GABA and anthocyanin

Phys.org— The frequency and intensity of plant stresses have increased in recent years due to climate change. Among them, low temperature is an unavoidable environmental factor limiting agricultural productivity.

Phys.org—Molecular mechanism of CmoDREB2A and CmoNAC1 in pumpkin regulating the salt tolerance of grafted cucumber revealed. In February 2024, a research article titled "Pumpkin CmoDREB2A enhances salt tolerance of grafted cucumber through interaction with CmoNAC1 to regulate H2O2 and ABA signaling and K+/Na+ homeostasis" was published by Professor Zhilong Bie's team from the National Key Laboratory for Germplasm Innovation & Utilization of Horticultural Crops/College of Horticulture and Forestry Sciences at Huazhong Agricultural University and the Hubei Hongshan Laboratory, in Horticulture Research.

MSPoweruser—Microsoft introduces Phi-3 family of models that outperform other models of its class. Back in December 2023, Microsoft released Phi-2 model with 2.7 billion parameters that delivered state-of-the-art performance among base language models with less than 13 billion parameters. In the past four months, several other models that got released outperformed Phi-2. Recently, Meta released Llama-3 family of models that outperformed all the previously released open-source models. Last […]

Phys.org—Scientists combine a spatially distributed sediment delivery model and biogeochemical model to estimate fluxes by water. Water erosion is the most active process controlling soil formation and evolution, which can affect the redistribution of carbon between terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric ecosystems. Erosion-induced organic carbon dynamic process should not be missing in terrestrial carbon cycle simulations.
