H2S-mediated protein S-sulfhydration modulates infectivity and autophagy in the rice blast fungus.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) regulates cellular activities in plants and mammals through S-sulfhydration, a post-translational modification of proteins. The role of HS and its molecular targets in fungi, however, remains unclear. Here we show that HS, synthesized by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE1) in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is essential for optimal fungal infection.

Nucleoside Derivatives Target Appressoria Function and Nucleotide Metabolism for Fungal Disease Control.

Novel fungicides are crucial for managing plant diseases. , a major threat to global rice production, serves as a model plant pathogen. Nucleoside compounds, known for their low toxicity and unique mechanisms, show potential for controlling plant pathogenic fungi but remain underexplored.

The efficiency of CUSUM schemes for monitoring the multivariate coefficient of variation in short runs process.

Current monitoring technologies emphasize and address the issue of monitoring high-volume production processes. The high flexibility and diversity of current industrial production processes make monitoring technology for small batch processes even more important. In multivariate process monitoring, a broader applicability exists in multivariate coefficients of variation (MCV) based monitoring schemes due to the lower restriction of the process.

Underwater image restoration via adaptive color correction and dehazing.

Due to the absorbing and scattering effects, underwater images are often degraded by low contrast, color cast, and haze, which have limited their further applications to underwater vision task. To address this issue, we propose a hybrid framework by adaptive color correction and dehazing for underwater image restoration. Specifically, according to the color attenuation principle, we first design an adaptive color compensation strategy to correct the color cast of the underwater image.
