A research team has developed a novel deep learning approach that significantly improves the accuracy of assessing plant leaf disease severity, a key step toward precision agriculture.
The AP2/ERF transcription factor SHAT2 positively regulates seed shattering and quality. SHAT2 mutation affects the expression of seed-shattering and quality-related genes. SHAT2 regulates the expression of seed development-related genes through interaction with the GCC-box.
As electric vehicles surge onto our roads and portable devices dominate our daily lives, lithium-ion batteries have become the invisible powerhouses of modern technology. Yet beneath their sleek exteriors lies a critical vulnerability: manufacturing defects that can transform these energy storage marvels into potential safety hazards. A recently published review sheds light on this pressing issue, revealing how tiny metal particles, especially copper contaminants, can trigger catastrophic battery failures.
Picture this: a self-driving car smoothly navigating treacherous mountain roads with consecutive hairpin turns – a scenario that would challenge even the most experienced human drivers. This vision is now closer to reality, thanks to groundbreaking research that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to tackle one of autonomous driving's most formidable challenges.
