Recent research on super-resolution has achieved great success due to the development of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). However, super-resolution of arbitrary scale factor has been ignored for a long time. Most previous researchers regard super-resolution of differentscale factors as in...

Maize (Zea mays) requires substantial amounts of nitrogen, posing a challenge for its cultivation. Recent work discovered that some ancient Mexican maize landraces harbored diazotrophic bacteria in mucilage secreted by their aerial roots. To see if this trait is retained in modern maize, we conducte...

Abstract Drought tolerance in maize is a complex and polygenic trait, especially in the seedling stage. In plant breeding, complex genetic traits can be improved by genomic selection (GS), which has become a practical and effective breeding tool. In the present study, a natural maize population name...

Fusarium stalk rot (FSR) is a global destructive disease in maize, the efficiency of phenotypic selection for improving FSR resistance was low. Novel genomic tools - genome-wide association study (GWAS) and genomic prediction (GP) - provide an opportunity for genetic dissection and improving FSR res...
