Article Abstract
Maintaining robust plant vigor is essential for sustaining crop productivity, yet the precise roles and molecular underpinnings of G protein γ subunits in this process remain elusive. This study reveals that GGC1 is under selection during tomato domestication, and its mutants exhibit enhanced plant vigor, characterized by superior growth, increased yield, and improved fruit quality. In contrast, triple mutants gga1/ggb1/ggb2 display severely compromised vigor resembling slgb1 mutants lacking the Gβ subunit. Protein assays reveal that GGC1 suppresses the interaction between the three Gγ subunits (GGA1, GGB1, and GGB2) and SlGB1. Further, GGC1 inhibits calcium-dependent protein kinase 28 (CPK28)-mediated phosphorylation of aquaporin plasma membrane intrinsic protein 1;2 (PIP1;2) at the T172 site. Downstream of GGC1, both CPK28 and PIP1;2 positively regulate plant vigor by enhancing photosynthesis. These findings illuminate the functional divergence among G proteins in controlling crop vigor, offering potential strategies to engineer high-yield germplasm with enhanced CO assimilation and photosynthetic efficiency.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the psychological effects of real and virtual greenspaces and identify key environmental features that contribute to perceived restorativeness and mood changes in university students.
Study Design: A mixed-methods crossover experimental design was used to evaluate psychological responses to three types of greenspaces: real campus greenspaces, virtual campus greenspaces, and virtual forest greenspaces.
Methods: Thirty-five college students participated in three 20-min greenspace exposures, spaced one week apart in randomized order.

Background: As wheat is a globally important staple crop, the molecular regulatory network underlying heterosis in wheat remains incompletely understood. The flag leaf is the primary source of photoassimilates during grain filling and plays a crucial role in yield formation. However, the genetic mechanisms linking flag leaf development to heterosis are still unclear.

Introduction: With the growing severity of global salinization, assessing plant growth vitality under salt stress has become a critical aspect in agricultural research.
Methods: In this paper, a method for calculating the leaf area and leaf growth rate of okra based on the YOLOv11-HSECal model is proposed, which is used to evaluate the activity of okra at the seedling stage. A high-throughput, Full-Time Sequence Crop Germination Vigor Monitoring System was developed to automatically capture image data from seed germination to seedling growth stage, while maintaining stable temperature and lighting conditions.

Unlabelled: Early Seedling Vigor (ESV) is a critical trait for direct-seeded rice (DSR), as it promotes rapid seedling establishment and effective weed suppression. Enhancing ESV is therefore essential for developing varieties adapted to DSR conditions. This study aimed to accelerate genetic gain for ESV traits through Marker-Assisted Pedigree Selection (MAPS) by leveraging reported quantitative trait loci (QTLs).
