To address collision challenges between multi-UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) during obstacle avoidance, a novel formation Door Lock Relay Pack control method is proposed.Leveraging the concept of APF (artificial potential field), the proposed approach integrates UAV maneuver constraints with a consensus formation control algorithm, optimizing UAV

BrUFO positively regulates the infection of Chinese cabbage by Plasmodiophora brassicae
IntroductionChinese cabbage is one of the most important vegetable crops in China.However, the clubroot disease caused by the infection of Plasmodiophora brassicae (P.brassicae) has seriously affected the yield and quality of Chinese cabbage.In our previous study, BrUFO gene was found to be significantly up-regulated in diseased roots of Patio Heat
Developmental and reproductive performance of a specialist herbivore depend on seasonality of, and light conditions experienced by, the host plant.
Host plant phenology (as influenced by seasonality) and light-mediated changes in the phenotypic and phytochemical properties of leaves have been hypothesised to equivocally influence insect herbivore performance.Here, we examined the effects of seasonality, through host plant phenology (late growth-season = autumn vs flowering-season = winter) and
