Using the gene pool of CIMMYT cultivars and lines in spring durum wheat breeding in Western Siberia by V. S. Yusov, М. G. Evdokimov, M. N. Kiriakova, D. A. Glushakov

“…The studies have shown that CIMMYT lines differ from local cultivars and lines in disease resistance (brown rust, stem rust, hard smut, and powdery mildew), test weight, pasta-making properties, and lodging resistance, but under the conditions of Western Siberia they are significantly inferior in adaptability to local cultivars and lines and suffer greatly from drought, especially during the grain-filling period. In the genetic control of the studied traits, the additive-dominant system with the inclusion of the complementary recessive epistasis prevails. …”

Localization and detection of deepfake videos based on self-blending method by Junfeng Xu, Xintao Liu, Weiguo Lin, Wenqing Shang, Yuefeng Wang

“…Moreover, research on the precise localization of manipulated regions within deepfake videos is limited, primarily due to the absence of datasets with fine-grained annotations that specify which regions have been manipulated.To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel spatial-based training method that does not require fake samples to detect spatial manipulations in deepfake videos. …”

Hierarchical Transfer Learning with Transformers to Improve Semantic Segmentation in Remote Sensing Land Use by Miaomiao Chen, Lianfa Li

“…It achieved the highest test mean intersection over union (MIoU) of 0.837 and 0.810 for residential and transportation in level 1 (coarse) classification, respectively, and 0.545 for irrigated land in level 2 (fine-grained) classification. Transfer learning from pre-trained models significantly enhanced semantic segmentation accuracy compared to random parameter initialization (ranging from 0.4% to 17.7%), with up to a 17.7% improvement in test MIoU for the public land category. …”

The use of maize haploidy inducers as a tool in agricultural plant biotechnology by A. V. Ulyanov, A. V. Karlov, E. B. Khatefov

“…Haploid inducers carrying R1-nj genes for anthocyanin pigmentation of the seed and embryo are able not only to mark the hybrid embryo and identify haploid genotypes, but also to detect genes that suppress the anthocyanin color of the grain, like C1-I, C2-Idf, and In1-D. Depending on their quantity, the phenotypic manifestation of the gene in the seed varies. …”

Two new species of Plagiostomum (Prolecithophora, Plagiostomidae) from China with its morphology, phylogeny, and reproductive strategy by Leyuan Feng, Shiyan Zhang, Ming Tao, Ting Sun, Antai Wang

“…Additionally, Plagiostomum plagae sp. nov. can be distinguished from P. nanhaiensis sp. nov. and other congeneric species by its two connected dorsal stripes, multiple spherical testes arranged along the ventral midline, a hemispherical vesicula seminalis located on the right ventral side, and grain-shaped sperm. Kimura’s two-parameter distance and phylogenetic analyses further support the recognition of these two new species, showing that the three specimens of P. nanhaiensis sp. nov. and P. plagae sp. nov. form two separate clades within Plagiostomum with solid support. …”
