Article Abstract
Background: Grain number per spike (GNS) is a pivotal determinant of grain yield in wheat. Pubing 3228 (PB3228), a wheat-Agropyron cristatum germplasm, exhibits a notably higher GNS.
Results: In this study, we developed a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from PB3228/Gao8901 (PG-RIL) and constructed a high-density genetic map comprising 101,136 loci, spanning 4357.3 cM using the Wheat 660 K SNP array. The genetic map demonstrated high collinearity with the wheat assembly IWGSC RefSeq v1.0. Traits related to grain number and spikelet number per spike were evaluated in seven environments for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. Five environmentally stable QTLs were detected in at least three environments. Among these, two major QTLs, QGns-4A.2 and QGns-1A.1, associated with GNS, exhibited positive alleles contributed by PB3228. Further, the conditional QTL analysis revealed a predominant contribution of PB3228 to the GNS QTLs, with both grain number per spikelet (GNSL) and spikelet number per spike (SNS) contributing to the overall GNS trait. Four kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers that linked to QGns-4A.2 and QGns-1A.1 were developed and found to be effective in verifying the QTL effect within a diversity panel. Compared to previous studies, QGns-4A.2 exhibited stability across different trials, while QGns-1A.1 represents a novel QTL. The results from unconditional and conditional QTL analyses are valuable for dissecting the genetic contribution of the component traits to GNS at the individual QTL level and for understanding the genetic basis of the superior grain number character in PB3228. The KASP markers can be utilized in marker-assisted selection for enhancing GNS.
Conclusions: Five environmentally stable QTLs related to grain number and spikelet number per spike were identified. PB3228 contributed to the majority of the QTLs associated with GNS.

This study investigates the physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in soft wheat grain during germination under varying moisture conditions: moderately dry, moist, and wet. Pre-harvest sprouting can severely compromise grain quality and usability; however, understanding germination-induced changes offers insights into potential utilization strategies. Physical parameters-including thousand-kernel weight, test weight, and falling number-showed strong correlation with germination time, decreasing by 8.

Surgical instrument segmentation plays an important role in robotic autonomous surgical navigation systems as it can accurately locate surgical instruments and estimate their posture, which helps surgeons understand the position and orientation of the instruments. However, there are still some problems affecting segmentation accuracy, like insufficient attention to the edges and center of surgical instruments, insufficient usage of low-level feature details, etc. To address these issues, a lightweight network for surgical instrument segmentation in gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy (GESur_Net) is proposed.

Purpose: The number of oxygen vacancies in quartz measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) as the intensity of the E' center has been used to investigate the provenance of the sediments and has been found to be a good proxy in discussing the direction and intensity of the wind system in the past. While its temporal variations have been examined using marine sediments. The present study aimed to show that terrestrial sediments are also useful for such studies on climate change when it is continuous.

In this paper, we introduce a coarse-grained model of polymer crystallization using a multiphase-field approach. The model combines a multiphase-field method, Nakamura's kinetic equation, and the equation of heat conduction for studying microstructural evolution of crystallization under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The multiphase-field method provides flexibility in adding any number of phases with different properties making the model effective in studying blends or composite materials.

This work presents the synthesis of a molecular crystal of adiponitrile (Adpn) and LiI a simple melting method. The molecular crystal has both Li and I channels and can be either a Li or an I conductor. In the stoichiometric crystal (Adpn)LiI, the Li ions interact only with four CN groups of Adpn, while the I ions are uncoordinated.
