Aiming at SPAD values of living plant leaf chlorophyll content affected easily by the blade thickness, water content, etc, a fine retrieval method of chlorophyll content based on multiple parameters of neural network model is presented. The SPAD values and water index (WI) of leaves were obtained by the leaf transmittance under the irradiation of light central wavelength in 650 nm, 940 nm, 1450 nm respectively. Meanwhile, the corresponding blade thickness is got by micrometer and the chlorophyll content is measured by spectrophotometric method. To modeling samples, the single parameter model between SPAD values and chlorophyll content was built and the nonlinear model between WI, thickness, SPAD values and chlorophyll content was established based on BP neural network. The predicted value of chlorophyll content of test samples were calculated separately by two models, and the correlation and relative errors were analyzed between predicted values and actual values. 340 samples of three different plant leaves were tested by the method described above in experiment. The results showed that compared with single parameter model, the prediction accuracy of three different plant samples were improved in different degrees, the average absolute relative error of chlorophyll content of all pooled samples predicted by BP neural network model reduced from 7.55% to 5.22%. The fitting determination coefficient is increased from 0.83 to 0.93. The feasibility were verified in this paper that the prediction accuracy of living plant chlorophyll content can improved effectively using multiple parameter BP neural network model.

Cerium (Ce), the most abundant of the rare Earth elements (REEs), is increasingly recognized as an environmental contaminant due to its growing applications in various industrial and agricultural sectors. This study investigates the physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of Brassica rapa L. plants to varying concentrations of Ce exposure to elucidate its effects on plant growth, metabolism, and stress responses.

Nanoplastics (NPs) have raised increasing attention due to their potential environmental risks to terrestrial vegetation and food security. However, for the plants with various photosynthetic pathways, the differences in their photosynthetic response and related mechanisms upon NPs exposure are still unclear. Here, the photosynthetic responses of typical soybean and corn plants under polystyrene NPs (PSNPs) exposure were systematically compared for the first time.

Ammonium (NH) toxicity significantly limits nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in agriculture. Nitrate (NO) supplementation mitigates this toxicity, with the anion channel SLAH3 playing a central role by mediating NO efflux to counteract NH-induced rhizosphere acidification. SLAH3, a plasma membrane protein with ten transmembrane domains and cytosolic N- and C-termini, is intrinsically silent.

Green solvents offer promising alternatives to n-hexane for sustainable vegetable oil extraction. This study evaluated ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate for extracting oils from avocado pulp (AP), rice bran (RB), and soybean flakes (SF), focusing on oil quality and defatted meal properties. lnγ obtained by COSMO-SAC showed tendencies for effective interactions with solutes.

Mutualistic endosymbiosis is a cornerstone of evolutionary innovation, enabling organisms to exploit diverse niches unavailable to individual species. However, our knowledge about the early evolutionary stage of this relationship remains limited. The association between the ciliate Tetrahymena utriculariae and its algal endosymbiont Micractinium tetrahymenae indicates an incipient stage of photoendosymbiosis.
