Water holding capacity (WHC) and texture stability primarily affect yogurt quality. In this study, black rice stepwise fermented yogurt (FBY) was produced, and the enhancement of texture quality was investigated. Compared with the control, FBY shortened the solidification time by 25.0 %, enhanced WHC and hardness by 13.2 % and 53.8 %, respectively, and increased viscosity. The released dietary fiber and anthocyanidins provided supportive carriers for lactic acid bacteria (LAB), enhancing their distribution and viability. The distributions of starch and fiber in FBY were more detailed. The binding energies of ρ-coumaryl alcohol and cyanidin with β-lactoglobulin showed the lowest levels. Mantel correlation revealed that stepwise fermentation promoted the uniform distribution and viability persistence of LAB, thereby enhancing yogurt solidification, WHC, and texture stability. This study demonstrated the impact of rice stepwise fermentation on yogurt texture, providing an effective strategy for rapid yogurt preparation and long-term stability maintenance.

Leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) is a critical indicator for evaluating crop health and optimizing nitrogen management in sustainable agriculture. While multispectral and hyperspectral sensing techniques enable precise LNC estimation, their high cost and technical complexity often hinder practical application. This study assesses RGB imaging as a cost-effective and accessible alternative for estimating rice LNC across leaf, canopy, and plot scales.

The main purpose of the present study was to study the degeneration of the high-quality japonica rice varieties during long-term cultivation, with a focus on changes in yield, rice quality and indices related to 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) biosynthesis, to provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive purification and improvement of high-quality rice varieties. By selecting the lines from the populations of Nanjing 9108 and Nanjing 46 at Liyang, it was found that the mutant lines showed significant differences in the yield and yield components, processing and appearance quality, cooking and flavor quality, rapid viscosity analyser profile characteristics and 2-AP content. Molecular marker detection can be used as a primary method for seed purity identification.

Long-term meteorological droughts disrupt hydrological balances and lead to agricultural droughts that affect crop yield. This study uses remote sensing techniques to analyze agricultural droughts in Punjab, Pakistan, over two decades. From MODIS satellite data, three drought indices, such as vegetation condition index (VCI), temperature condition index (TCI), and vegetation health index (VHI), were generated to identify drought years and assess agricultural impacts during the rabi and kharif cropping seasons from 2001 to 2020.

Background: Outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) are frequently measured through clinically significant outcomes (CSOs) such as the minimal clinically important difference, the substantial clinical benefit, and the Patient Acceptable Symptom State. Global achievement of CSOs is challenging to predict.
Purpose: To determine if unsupervised machine learning can identify distinct patient subgroups based on CSO achievement after elective arthroscopic RCR.

Bioactive gibberellins (GAs) are a class of plant hormones that regulate various aspects of plant growth and development, and several key GA deactivation enzymes have been identified. In rice, non-13-hydroxylated GAs have been shown to be deactivated via 16α,17-epoxidation by a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, ELONGATED UPPERMOST INTERNODE (EUI/CYP714D1). Although 16,17-dihydro-16α,17-epoxyGA (16α,17-epoxyGA), the product of EUI from bioactive GA, has shown weak bioactivity on rice seedlings, how 16α,17-epoxyGAs are further deactivated remains elusive.
