Genetically-encoded targeted protein degradation technology to remove endogenous condensation-prone proteins and improve crop performance by Ming Luo, Sitao Zhu, Hua Dang, Qing Wen, Ruixia Niu, Jiawei Long, Zhao Wang, Yongjia Tong, Yuese Ning, Meng Yuan, Guoyong Xu

“…Additionally, conditional degradation of the negative defense regulator Early Flowering 3 via a pathogen-responsive ProTBF1-uORFsTBF1 cassette enhances rice blast resistance without affecting flowering time in the absence of pathogen. Unlike prevailing targeted protein degradation strategies, the TCD system does not rely on small molecules, antibodies, or genetic knock-in fusion tags, demonstrating its promise as a transgene-based approach for optimizing crop performance.…”

Predictive Capabilities of Corotating Interaction Regions Using STEREO and Wind In‐Situ Observations by Yutian Chi, Chenglong Shen, Christopher Scott, Mengjiao Xu, Mathew Owens, Yuming Wang, Mike Lockwood

“…By assuming the SIR/CIR structures are stable and ideal corotation, 58.9% of SIRs/CIRs in the STEREO‐B CIR catalog can be used to predict CIR arrival time in near‐Earth space. With increasing longitudinal and latitudinal separations between STEREO‐B and Wind, the percentage of accurately predicted CIRs decreases gradually from 100% to 20%. …”

Rock fracture mode and acoustic emission characteristics under true triaxial single-sided unloading path by Longpei Ma, Longpei Ma, Chongyan Liu, Guangming Zhao, Guangming Zhao

“…In this study, a combination of the true triaxial disturbance unloading rock testing system and the acoustic emission system was adopted to conduct true triaxial single-sided unloading tests on several common rock types, including coal, siltstone, fine sandstone, and granite. At the same time, in order to analyze the experimental data more thoroughly, the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering algorithm was introduced to perform clustering analysis on the characteristic parameters of acoustic emission, so as to explore the damage and fracture patterns of the unloading rocks. …”
