Underwater images often suffer from color distortion, low contrast, and structural blurring caused by wavelength-dependent absorption and scattering, which degrade both visual observation and downstream perception. Existing underwater image enhancement methods usually learn image-level restoration mappings, while the relationships among semantic regions, degradation patterns, and restoration responses are not fully exploited....

We herein constructed a phylogeny of Lepidoptera synthesizing multiple information types, a phylogenomics backbone, a multigene supermatrix with species‐comprehensive DNA barcodes, and topological information from a compiled database of standardized machine‐readable trees from over 100 previous studies. We then applied the new phylogenetic synthesis as a profiling framework for a large DNA barcode dataset of caterpillars from...

A large and highly polyploid genome, long breeding cycles, low narrow-sense heritability of yield and its components, and persisting yield stagnation continue to challenge sugarcane variety improvement through both conventional and molecular breedings. To address this, this study developed an efficient phenotype-based concurrent multi-trait prediction framework using artificial intelligence, leveraging 2700 parent combinations...

Epigenetic mechanisms are integral to plant growth, development, and adaptation to environmental stimuli. Over the past two decades, our comprehension of these complex regulatory processes has expanded remarkably, producing a substantial body of knowledge on both locus-specific mechanisms and genome-wide regulatory patterns. Studies initially grounded in the model plant Arabidopsis have been broadened to encompass a diverse ar...
