The homologous gene AtTPR1 in Arabidopsis thaliana was knocked out by CRISPR‑Cas9 technology，the phenotype，physiological and biochemical indexes of homozygous mutant plants were analyzed under drought stress，and the function of this gene was preliminarily explored，which would provide genetic resources for breeding drought‑resistant maize varieties.The results showed that ZmTPR1 gene was located on chromosome 3 of maize，encoding 421 amino acids，containing a conserved coiled coil domain，and might be involved in the response of maize to plant hormones，drought and so on.ZmTPR1 gene expressed in all tissues of maize，with the highest expression level in young stems.Drought，high temperature，salt and nitrogen deficiency stresses could induce the expression of ZmTPR1 gene，and the expression level of ZmTPR1 gene was most up‑regulated after drought stress.The expression level of ZmTPR1 gene in drought‑resistant maize inbred line Zheng 36 was significantly higher than that in drought‑sensitive maize inbred line B73 after drought stress. Drought resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana decreased after AtTPR1 gene was knocked out，the growth of Attpr1 mutant was severely inhibited under drought stress，and the leaves were wilted or even dried out. At the same time，the relative water content，chlorophyll content，net photosynthetic rate，activities of peroxidase and superoxide dismutase significantly decreased，and the content of malondialdehyde significantly increased.In summary，ZmTPR1 gene is involved in the response of maize to various abiotic stresses，and plays an important role in drought stress.

Compared with CK，Si5treatment significantly increased the biomass of all parts，the fresh and dry weight of fruits increased by 16.29% and 15.26%，respectively，and the dry weight of whole plant increased by 21.35%.With the increase of the dosage of Na2SiO3，the contents of soluble sugar，soluble protein，amino acid，vitamin C（Vc）and capsaicin showed increasing trend，and Si5 treatment significantly improved the quality.The order of Cd content in different parts of each treatment was as follows：leaves on main stems>roots>leaves on fork stems>fruits>main stems>fork stems. Compared with CK，foliar spraying of Na2SiO3 solution promoted the decrease of Cd content in all parts of pepper，and the decrease extents of Cd content in fruits with Si3 and Si5 were 11.30%，28.69%，respectively.The difference of Cd accumulation in the whole plant of each treatment was not significant. With the increase of Na2SiO3 concentration，the Cd accumulation in fruits decreased significantly，and the Cd accumulation in stems，leaves and roots increased significantly.Compared with CK，the Cd accumulation in fruits of Si5 treatment decreased by 19.43%. Compared with CK，foliar application of Na2SiO3 solution significantly reduced the transfer efficiency of Cd from roots，fork stems，main stems and leaves of main stems，stem and leaf to fruits（TFfruit/root，TFfruit/fork stem，TFfruit/main stem，TFfruit/leaf of main stem，TFfruit/stem and leaf）.Spraying Na2SiO3solution on the leaves increased the accumulation ability of Cd in the stems，leaves and roots of pod pepper cultivar‘Qing Hong Yuan Shuai’，and limited the transport of Cd from vegetative organs（stems，leaves and roots）to fruits.

Firstly，the bridge attention（BA）module is introduced into the ResNeXt network to form the BAResNeXt module as the network encoder to improve the network’s attention to mesophyll cells when extracting deep semantic features；secondly，a channel cross‑attention mechanism is added between the encoder and the decoder to ease the semantic ambiguity between the decoder and the encoder to enhance the information fusion of the segmented image features；finally，the SE attention mechanism is used in the upsampling phase of decoder to filter the interference information of image background. In order to verify the effectiveness of the method，it was compared with deep learning networks such as U‑Net，Res‑UNet，U‑Net++ and Deeplabv3+.The results showed that our method had the best performance in rice leaf cell segmentation. The Precision（96.03%），Recall（97.67%），Acc（97.47%），IoU（93.96%）and Dice（96.78%）of our method were all higher than other networks. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

The results showed that，after applying biochar，the incidence and disease index of black shank disease of flue‑cured tobacco varieties with different resistance to black shank disease were significantly reduced，and the control effects for highly susceptible variety Jingyehuang，moderately resistant variety K326 and highly resistant variety NC82 were 56.52%，31.00% and 27.00% respectively. Under the condition of no biochar application，the fungal diversity of rhizosphere soil of high‑resistance variety NC82 and high‑sensitivity variety Jingyehuang was relatively higher，while that of middle‑resistance variety K326 was relatively lower. After biochar application，the fungal diversity of middle‑resistance variety K326 increased significantly，while the fungal diversity of high‑sensitivity variety Jingyehuang and high‑resistance variety NC82 decreased in different degrees. LefSe analysis showed that the key microbial groups in rhizosphere soil of different resistant flue‑cured tobacco varieties were significantly different without biochar application，and the application of biochar changed the key microbial groups in rhizosphere soil，with obvious differences among varieties. PCoA analysis showed that under the condition of no biochar application，compared with the soil without tobacco planting，the sample points of three flue‑cured tobacco varieties were obviously separate，and the application of biochar changed the fungal community structure in rhizosphere soil of three flue‑cured tobacco varieties.To sum up，applying biochar can significantly reduce the occurrence of tobacco black shank disease.The rhizosphere soil fungal community structure of flue‑cured tobacco varieties with different resistance to black shank disease has different responses to biochar input. In production，variety factors should be considered when using biochar to improve soil and tobacco microecological environment. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

The results showed that there were 44 HD‑ZIP genes in S.miltiorrhiza，most of which were unevenly distributed on 8 chromosomes. SmHD‑ZIPs could be divided into four subfamilies：HD‑ZIP Ⅰ，HD‑ZIP Ⅱ，HD‑ZIP Ⅲ，HD‑ZIP Ⅳ. The sequence analysis results showed that the amino acid residues of these proteins ranged from 180 to 982，and the relative molecular weight of these proteins ranged from 20. 947 ku to 109. 620 ku. SmHD‑ZIPs were hydrophilic proteins without transmembrane domain，and most of them did not contain signal peptides.The isoelectric points of SmHD‑ZIPs were between 4. 48 and 10. 91，and they were almost expressed in the nucleus with the poor protein stability. Among the 44 SmHD‑ZIP genes，there were 10 gene duplication events，all of which were purified selection. The results of structure and motif analysis showed that the exon number of members of the same subfamily was basically the same，and the members of HD‑ZIP Ⅲ subfamily had the largest exon number and the largest motif number. Motifs 1 and 6 were conserved motifs of SmHD‑ZIP，motifs 10，11，12，13 and 15 was unique to the HD‑ZIP Ⅲ subfamily，while motif 5 were unique to the HD‑ZIP IV subfamily. By analyzing the expression patterns of SmHD‑ZIPs under high temperature（37℃）stress，it was found that the number of genes with increased and decreased expression was basically the same. Among the genes with up‑regulated expression，the expression levels of SmHD‑ZIP1.11，SmHD‑ZIP1.13，SmHD‑ZIP2.2，SmHD‑ZIP2.5，SmHD‑ZIP3.1，SmHD‑ZIP3.4，SmHD‑ZIP4.9，SmHD‑ZIP4.10 and SmHD‑ZIP4.12 were increased by more than 10 times，which could be used as candidate gene resources to improve the heat resistance of S.miltiorrhiza.

Fine‑Grained Flower Image Classification Based on Neural Network Architecture Search ZHENG Xingkai, YANG Tiejun, HUANG Lin Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2024, 53 (5): 164-171.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2024.05.018 Abstract （1081）      PDF （3807KB）（194）       Knowledge map    Save To enhance the automation of deep convolutional neural network(CNN)design and improve fine‑grained flower image classification accuracy，an advanced neural network search approach based on differentiable architecture search(DARTS) was proposed.This method automatically constructed fine‑grained flower image classification models.Initially,an attention‑convolution module was constructed to create a comprehensive attention‑convolution search space，thereby increasing the network’s focus on discriminative features. Subsequently,a densely connected reduction cell(DCR cell)with more shallow feature input nodes was developed to retain additional shallow feature information，reducing the loss of discriminative feature information and promoting multi‑scale feature fusion.Lastly,the positions of DCR cells were adjusted when stacking the best cells to create network models of varying parameter sizes,enabling deployment on a broader range of terminal devices.The results showed that this method took approximately 4.5 hours to find the optimal neural network model,achieving classification accuracies of 96.14% on the Oxford 102 dataset and 94.12% on the Flower 17 dataset.Compared with methods like AGNAS,it improved accuracy by 1.40 percentage points on Oxford 102 and 3.09 percentage points on Flower 17.
