Predicting the future distribution of PCN species is crucial to implementing effective biosecurity strategies, especially given the impact of climate change on pest species invasion and distribution. Machine learning (ML), specifically ensemble models, has emerged as a powerful tool in predicting species distributions due to its ability to learn and make predictions based on complex data sets. Thus, this research utilised advanced machine learning techniques to predict the distribution of PCN species under climate change conditions, providing the initial element for invasion risk assessment. We first used Global Climate Models to generate homogeneous climate predictors to mitigate the variation among predictors. Then, five machine learning models were employed to build two groups of ensembles, single-algorithm ensembles (ESA) and multi-algorithm ensembles (EMA), and compared their performances. In this research, the EMA did not always perform better than the ESA, and the ESA of Artificial Neural Network gave the highest performance while being cost-effective. Prediction results indicated that the distribution range of PCNs would shift northward with a decrease in tropical zones and an increase in northern latitudes. However, the total area of suitable regions will not change significantly, occupying 16–20% of the total land surface (18% under current conditions). This research alerts policymakers and practitioners to the risk of PCNs’ incursion into new regions. Additionally, this ML process offers the capability to track changes in the distribution of various species and provides scientifically grounded evidence for formulating long-term biosecurity plans for their control.","PeriodicalId":16305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Agriculture","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Labor migration in rural China has taken new forms in recent years. There has been a discernible trend wherein adult children have started migrating to cities while their elderly parents return to villages to re-engage in on-farm work. The phenomenon has notably shaped the intergenerational division of labor (IDL) within households. However, it remains to be seen how farmers adjust their rice production systems in response to the IDL. The age of 60 years for employment injury insurance is the eligibility threshold for off-farm employment and is used to obtain a source of exogenous variation in the IDL. Based on a representative household survey of 1,752 rice farmers in the Hubei Province of Central China, our fuzzy regression discontinuity analysis reveals that farmers in IDL households are more likely to adopt ratoon rice (RR) than single cropping rice (SR) or double cropping rice (DR). The effect of the IDL varies under different levels of operational scales and specialized agricultural service availability. Further analysis suggests that farmers’ arrangements are associated with two potential mechanisms of downward intergenerational transfer. Monetary transfer for urban housing purchases increases RR in IDL households, and time transfer for intergenerational childcare significantly promotes SR in IDL households. This study enhances the understanding of the relationship between rural labor migration and rice production in China, providing a reference for adjusting rice production systems to ensure food security.","PeriodicalId":16305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Agriculture","volume":"1138 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the mechanisms by which SS2 enters the brain and induces meningitis is not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role and mechanism of the SS2 collagenase-like protease (Clp) in promoting the passage of the bacterium across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We found that SS2 Clp enhanced virulence and tissue colonization, and promoted the destruction of the BBB in mice. Compared with wild-type SS2, the ability of a Δ mutant to cross human brain microvascular endothelial (hCMEC/D3) cell monolayers decreased, whereas the addition of recombinant protein rClp increased permeability. rClp also significantly promoted the adhesion of SS2 to hCMEC/D3, inhibited the expression of intercellular tight junction proteins ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin-5 independent of its enzyme activity, and induced hCMEC/D3 apoptosis through the cell receptor ligand apoptosis and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways partly dependent on its enzyme activity, resulting in BBB destruction and increased permeability. Moreover, Clp increased macrophage (F4/80+), monocytes (F4/80-Ly6C+), and neutrophils (Ly6G+) infiltration into the brain after SS2 infection. Thus, SS2 Clp is required for the passage of the bacterium across the BBB, and the results, provide a theoretical basis for better prevention and treatment of SS2-induced meningitis.","PeriodicalId":16305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative Agriculture","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141577664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, limited information is available on the comprehensive and evolutionary analysis of PELs in the Malvaceae. In this study, we identified 597 PEL genes from 10 Malvaceae species. Phylogenetic and motif analyses revealed that these PELs are classified into six subfamilies: Clades I, II, III, IV, Va, and Vb. The two largest subfamilies, Clades I and II, contained 237 and 222 PEL members, respectively. The members of Clades Va and Vb only contained four or five motifs, far fewer than the other subfamilies. Gene duplication analysis showed that segmental duplication played a crucial role in the expansion of the PEL gene family in species. The PELs from Clades I, IV, Va, and Vb were expressed during the fiber elongation stage, but nearly all PEL genes from Clades II and III showed no expression in any of the investigated fiber developmental stages. We further performed single-gene haplotype association analysis in 2,001 accessions and 229 accessions. Interestingly, 14 PELs were significantly associated with fiber length and strength traits in with superior fiber quality, while only eight genes were found to be significantly associated with fiber quality traits in .

In this study, eight genes are identified and designated as to . The analysis of sequence features indicates that five proteins (StLysM1, StLysM2, StLysM5, StLysM6, and StLysM7) are potential effectors. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the StLysMs are divided into fungal/bacterial and fungus-specific subclasses. Domain architecture analysis reveals that the five StLysM effectors exclusively harbor the LysM domain, whereas the other three StLysM proteins contain additional functional domains. Sequence conservation analysis shows that the fungal-specific LysM domain sequences share the GDxTC and WNP motifs as well as three highly conserved cysteine residues. Conversely, the LysM domain sequences from the bacterial/fungal branch have few conserved sites.

The results showed that 50 μmol L melatonin was optimal and significantly mitigated the inhibitory effect of drought on cotton seedling growth. Exogenous melatonin promoted root development in drought-stressed cotton plants by remarkably increasing the root length, projected area, surface area, volume, diameter, and biomass. Melatonin also mitigated the drought-weakened photosynthetic capacity of cotton and regulated the endogenous hormone contents by regulating the relative expression levels of hormone-synthesis genes under drought stress. Melatonin-treated cotton seedlings maintained optimal enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant capacities, and produced relatively lower levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, thus reducing the drought stress damage to cotton roots (such as mitochondrial damage). Moreover, melatonin alleviated the yield and fiber length declines caused by drought stress. Taken together, these findings show that root drenching with exogenous melatonin increases the cotton yield by enhancing root development and reducing the root damage induced by drought stress.

This study explores the sources of land productivity and nutrition supply growth and carbon emissions reduction, and identifies the multiple roles of crop structural change from 2003 to 2020 based on a decomposition analysis. The results reveal that the growth within crops is still the primary driver in land productivity and nutrition supply and the reduction in carbon emissions. However, structural change also plays various roles at different periods. From 2003 to 2010, crop structural change increased the total calorie supply but lowered land productivity and contributed at least 70% of the total growth of carbon emissions. The crop structure was relatively stable, and their effects were modest from 2010 to 2015. From 2015 to 2020, the crop structural change began to play a greater role and generate synergistic effects in improving land productivity, micronutrient supply, and reducing carbon emissions, contributing to approximately a quarter of the growth of land productivity and 30% of total carbon emissions reduction.
