This review summarizes relevant research on precision pig nutrition based on mathematical modeling conducted at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Feed Industry Centre (MAFIC), China Agricultural University, and compares these findings with studies from other research groups. Previous studies have shown that mathematical modeling is an effective tool for data integration and prediction. However, models in animal nutrition face challenges such as insufficient data and outdated algorithms. Therefore, developing and applying new data-collection methodologies, advanced algorithms, and platforms are necessary to achieve precision nutrition. Two novel, non-invasive, cost-effective, portable, and reproducible techniques – heart rate monitoring and bioelectrical impedance analysis – facilitate real-time predictions of heat production and enable analysis of body composition in pigs. The newly developed algorithms, including classification algorithms, artificial neural networks, data augmentation algorithms, interpretable machine learning algorithms, and multi-objective formulation algorithms, are utilized to forecast the net energy values of feedstuffs, construct nutrient requirement tables, and predict the growth performance of pigs in the context of big data and numerous parameters. Additionally, introducing new software and hardware, such as establishing big data analysis platforms and AI feed formulation software based on large language model architecture, is also significant. Moreover, future advancements in precision feeding equipment are of great interest. Integrating mathematical models with these new methods, algorithms, and software will enable the precise formulation of personalized nutrition plans and optimal adjustment of dietary structures for pigs, providing robust theoretical and practical guidance for the successful implementation of precision nutrition in pig production.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100065,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture Communications","volume":"3 4","pages":"Article 100115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145684150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the role of pectin methylesterification in wood development. We discovered that both low- and high-methylesterified homogalacturonan (HG) are abundant in the cambium and expanding xylem regions of secondary vascular tissues. Using integrative bioinformatics approaches, we identified 75 <em>PtrPMEs</em> and 61 <em>PtrPMEIs</em> within the <em>Populus trichocarpa</em> genome, many of which are highly expressed during wood formation. Notably, several <em>PtrPMEs</em> and <em>PtrPMEIs</em> with similar expression patterns are capable of interacting, suggesting post-translational regulation of PME activity during wood formation. Specifically, the highly expressed <em>PtrPME10</em>, <em>PtrPME70</em>, <em>PtrPMEI50,</em> and <em>PtrPMEI58</em> during secondary cell wall deposition were co-expressed with genes involved in monolignol polymerization across 51 poplar tissues and organs, implying a putative role in lignin biosynthesis. Furthermore, overexpression of the <em>Populus</em> ortholog of <em>PtrPME45</em> in <em>P. davidiana ​× ​bolleana</em> led to increased demethylesterification of HG, resulting in reduced lengths and widths of vessel and fiber cells in secondary xylem. Our study uncovers specific roles of PME in wood formation and elucidates regulatory mechanisms controlling PME activity during wood development.

Our findings revealed a strong positive correlation between genome size and transposable element (TE) content, suggesting TEs play a role in genome expansion.

Current detection methods require destructive sampling, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, they are not suitable for high-volume inspection of individual products during postharvest handling. This study presents an innovative hyperspectral imaging-based approach to detect SWD infestation in highbush blueberry fruit. Two benchtop hyperspectral imaging systems in reflectance mode, operating in the visible-near-infrared (Vis-NIR, 400–1000 ​nm) and short-wavelength infrared (SWIR, 900–1700 ​nm) ranges, respectively, were in-house assembled for acquiring images of 945 (including 706 healthy and 235 infested) blueberry samples hand-picked from orchards. Hyperspectral imagery was processed to segment blueberries and extract mean spectra from individual samples. Infested blueberries showed lower spectral reflectance in the region of 750–1350 ​nm than normal samples. Baseline models were built using six different classifiers for sample classification, and the models based on partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) yielded the best overall accuracy of 90.2 ​% and 92.5 ​% for the Vis-NIR and SWIR systems, respectively, with the corresponding recall rates of 74.2 ​% and 80.6 ​% for infested fruit. Three alternative modeling pipelines were proposed by implementing oversampling of the minority infested fruit class and waveband selection, through an exhaustive search for optimal methods, resulting in improved detection performance. Among the optimization strategies, oversampling proved more effective than waveband selection for enhancing model performance, and their combination (oversampling followed by waveband selection) yielded the best classification, with PLS-DA remaining the best classifier.

While mushrooms have been suggested as potential agents for mitigating climate change, the effects of climate change on mushroom production remain largely unexplored. Here, we review and analyze the potential impacts of climate change on the production of both cultivated and wild edible and medicinal mushrooms, with a focus on the impacts of changing temperature and precipitation. First, we review global temperature and precipitation scenarios projected by 2100. Most climate scientists predict that global temperature will continue to rise gradually and precipitation distribution will become increasingly uneven in the future. Second, our analyses suggest that these environmental shifts will negatively impact the productivity of most cultivated mushrooms in multiple ways, including restricted substrate supplies, damage from pests and pathogens, and high electrical expenditures, etc. Third, some wild mushrooms may benefit from warmer and more humid conditions in certain regions, leading to increased mycelial growth and fruiting. However, hotter and drier environments in other regions, as projected for the future, will likely suffer decreasing yields for most mushrooms. For many wild gourmet mushroom species, their suitable habitats may change, with the majority predicted to experience habitat shrinkage, resulting in an overall decrease in productivity. Aside from challenges, we also discuss opportunities, including incorporating smart technologies for monitoring environmental factors, utilizing artificial intelligence for predictive analytics, and automating tasks such as irrigation and cooling/heating. We note that long-term monitoring across multiple ecological zones is needed to accurately quantify the impacts of global climate change on mushroom production and fine-tune strategies for sustainable mushroom cultivation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100065,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture Communications","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100091"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144925215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
