MovePort: Multimodal Dataset of EMG, IMU, MoCap, and Insole Pressure for Analyzing Abnormal Movements and Postures in Rehabilitation Training.

In most real world rehabilitation training, patients are trained to regain motion capabilities with the aid of functional/epidural electrical stimulation (FES/EES), under the support of gravity-assist systems to prevent falls. However, the lack of motion analysis dataset designed specifically for rehabilitation-related applications largely limits the conduct of pilot research. We provide an open access dataset, consisting of multimodal data collected via 16 electromyography (EMG) sensors, 6 inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors, and 230 insole pressure sensors (IPS) per foot, together with a 26-sensor motion capture system, under different MOVEments and POstures for Rehabilitation Training (MovePort). Data were collected under diverse experimental paradigms. Twenty four participants first imitated multiple normal and abnormal body postures including (1) normal standing still, (2) leaning forward, (3) leaning back, and (4) half-squat, which in practical applications, can be detected as feedback to tune the parameters of FES/EES and gravity-assist systems to keep patients in a target body posture. Data under imitated abnormal gaits, e.g., (1) with legs raised higher under excessive electrical stimulation, and (2) with dragging legs under insufficient stimulation, were also collected. Data under normal gaits with low, medium and high speeds are also included. Pathological gait data from a subject with spastic paraplegia further increases the clinical value of our dataset. We also provide source codes to perform both intra- and inter-participant motion analyses of our dataset. We expect our dataset can provide a unique platform to promote collaboration among neurorehabilitation engineers.

Rab11b promotes M1-like macrophage polarization by restraining autophagic degradation of NLRP3 in alcohol-associated liver disease.

Macrophage polarization is vital to mounting a host defense or repairing tissue in various liver diseases. Excessive activation of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is related to the orchestration of inflammation and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) pathology. Rab GTPases play critical roles in regulating vesicular transport. In this study we investigated the role of Rab11b in ALD, aiming to identify effective therapeutic targets. Here, we first demonstrated a decreased expression of Rab11b in macrophages from ALD mice. Knockdown of Rab11b by macrophage-specific adeno-associated virus can alleviate alcohol induced liver inflammation, injury and steatosis. We found that LPS and alcohol stimulation promoted Rab11b transferring from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) cells. Rab11b specifically activated the NLRP3 inflammasome in BMDMs and RAW264.7 cells to induce M1 macrophage polarization. Rab11b overexpression in BMDMs inhibited autophagic flux, leading to the suppression of LC3B-mediated NLRP3 degradation. We conclude that impaired Rab11b could alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury via autophagy-mediated NLRP3 degradation.

Insulator Polymer Matrix Construction on All-Small-Molecule Photoactive Blend Towards Extrapolated 15000 Hour T80 Stable Devices.

To boost the stability of all-small-molecule (ASM) organic photovoltaic (OPV) blends, an insulator polymer called styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) as morphology stabilizer is applied into the host system of small molecules BM-ClEH:BO-4Cl. Minor addition of SEBS (1 mg/ml in host solution) provides a significantly enhanced T80 value of 15000 hours (extrapolated), surpassing doping-free (0 mg/ml) and heavy doping (10 mg/ml) counterparts (900 hours, 30 hours). The material reproducibility and cost-effectiveness of the active layer will not be affected by this industrially available polymer, where the power conversion efficiency (PCE) can be well maintained at 15.02%, which is still a decent value for non-halogen solvent-treated ASM OPV. Morphological and photophysical characterizations clearly demonstrate SEBS's pivotal effect on suppressing the degradation of donor molecules and blend film's crystallization/aggregation reorganization, which protects the exciton dynamics effectively. This work pays meaningful attention to the ASM system stability, performs a smart strategy to suppress the film morphology degradation, and releases a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of device performance reduction.

Left-behind cumulative risk and academic adjustment in Chinese middle school students: The moderating effect of growth mindset.

Left-behind children, as a large-scale disadvantaged group, encounter an array of risk factors that impede their academic development because of parental migration. The current study aimed at investigating the roles of left-behind cumulative risk and growth mindset on academic adjustment and exploring whether growth mindset moderated the association between left-behind cumulative risk and academic adjustment in left-behind middle school students. A total of 1184 left-behind middle school students (615 males; 12-16 years) participated in the study. Results indicated that left-behind cumulative risk is negatively associated with academic adjustment in middle school students (ß = -.199, t(1183) = -7.229, p < .001). Besides, growth mindset has a protective effect on left-behind middle school students' academic adjustment (ß = .386, t(1183) = 14.070, p < .001) and a moderating effect on the relationship between left-behind cumulative risk and academic adjustment (ß = .394, t(1182) = 4.057, p < .001, ΔR2 = .012). These findings suggest that family risk factors related to left-behind status affect the academic adjustment of left-behind middle school students in a superposition way, while the positive individual factor of growth mindset could protect the negative impact caused by parental migration.

MiR-214_L-1R+4 regulate gossypol-induced immune response through MyD88-dependent signaling pathway in Cyprinus carpio.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to act as crucial modulators with considerable impacts on the immune system. Cottonseed meal is often used as a protein source in aqua feed, cottonseed meal contains gossypol, which is harmful to animals. However, there is a lack of research on the role of miRNAs in fish exposed to gossypol stress. To determine the regulatory effects of miRNAs on gossypol toxicity, Cyprinus carpio were given to oral administration of 20 mg/kg gossypol for 7 days, and the gossypol concentration in the tissues was tested. Then, we detected spleen index, histology, immune enzyme activities of fish induced by gossypol. The results of miRNA sequencing revealed 8 differentially expressed miRNAs in gossypol group, and miR-214_L-1R+4 was found involved in immune response induced by gossypol. The potential targets of miR-214_L-1R+4 were predicted, and found a putative miR-214_L-1R+4 binding site in the 3'UTR of MyD88a. Furthermore, dual-luciferase reporter assays displayed miR-214_L-1R+4 decreased MyD88a expression through binding to the 3'UTR of MyD88a. Moreover, miR-214_L-1R+4 antagomir were intraperitoneally administered to C. carpio, down-regulated miR-214_L-1R+4 could increase MyD88a expression, as well as inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines expression. These findings revealed that miR-214_L-1R+4 via the MyD88-dependent signaling pathway modulate the immune response to gossypol in C. carpio spleen.

Catalytic [4+2]- and [4+4]-cycloaddition using furan-fused cyclobutanone as a privileged C4 synthon.

Cycloaddition reactions play a pivotal role in synthetic chemistry for the direct assembly of cyclic architectures. However, hurdles remain for extending the C4 synthon to construct diverse heterocycles via programmable [4+n]-cycloaddition. Here we report an atom-economic and modular intermolecular cycloaddition using furan-fused cyclobutanones (FCBs) as a versatile C4 synthon. In contrast to the well-documented cycloaddition of benzocyclobutenones, this is a complementary version using FCB as a C4 reagent. It involves a C-C bond activation and cycloaddition sequence, including a Rh-catalyzed enantioselective [4 + 2]-cycloaddition with imines and an Au-catalyzed diastereoselective [4 + 4]-cycloaddition with anthranils. The obtained furan-fused lactams, which are pivotal motifs that present in many natural products, bioactive molecules, and materials, are inaccessible or difficult to prepare by other methods. Preliminary antitumor activity study indicates that 6e and 6 f exhibit high anticancer potency against colon cancer cells (HCT-116, IC50 = 0.50 ± 0.05 µM) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells (KYSE-520, IC50 = 0.89 ± 0.13 µM), respectively.

Strain to shine: stretching-induced three-dimensional symmetries in nanoparticle-assembled photonic crystals.

Stretching elastic materials containing nanoparticle lattices is common in research and industrial settings, yet our knowledge of the deformation process remains limited. Understanding how such lattices reconfigure is critically important, as changes in microstructure lead to significant alterations in their performance. This understanding has been extremely difficult to achieve due to a lack of fundamental rules governing the rearrangements. Our study elucidates the physical processes and underlying mechanisms of three-dimensional lattice transformations in a polymeric photonic crystal from 0% to over 200% strain during uniaxial stretching. Corroborated by comprehensive experimental characterizations, we present analytical models that precisely predict both the three-dimensional lattice structures and the macroscale deformations throughout the stretching process. These models reveal how the nanoparticle lattice and matrix polymer jointly determine the resultant structures, which breaks the original structural symmetry and profoundly changes the dispersion of photonic bandgaps. Stretching induces shifting of the main pseudogap structure out from the 1st Brillouin zone and the merging of different symmetry points. Evolutions of multiple photonic bandgaps reveal potential optical singularities shifting with strain. This work sets a new benchmark for the reconfiguration of soft material structures and may lay the groundwork for the study of stretchable three-dimensional topological photonic crystals.

Biphasic effects of ethanol consumption on N,N-dimethylformamide-induced liver injury in mice.

N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a well-documented occupational hazardous material, which can induce occupational liver injury. The current study was designed to investigate whether ethanol consumption can affect DMF-induced hepatotoxicity and the potential underlying mechanisms involved. We found that a single dose of ethanol (1.25, 2.5, or 5 g/kg bw by gavage) significantly repressed the increase in serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) activities and alleviated the liver histopathological changes in mice challenged with 3 g/kg DMF. In contrast, long-term moderate drinking (2.5 g/kg bw) significantly aggravated the repeated DMF (0.7 g/kg bw) exposure-induced increase in the serum ALT and AST activities. Mechanistically, acute ethanol consumption suppressed DMF-induced activation of the NLR family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, while long-term moderate ethanol consumption promoted hepatocyte apoptosis in the mouse liver. Notably, cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) protein level and activity in mouse livers were not significantly affected by ethanol per se in the two models. These results confirm that regular drinking can increase the risk of DMF-induced hepatotoxicity, and suggest that DMF-handling workers should avoid consuming ethanol to reduce the risk of DMF-indued liver injury.

The molecular characterization of Rab11 and its immune roles in red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii).

The Rab proteins primarily regulate vesicular transport between membrane-bound organelles and are important for innate immune. However, there is currently a lack of studies on crustaceans regarding Rab proteins, particularly core Rabs. We identified a Rab11 gene from Procambarus clarkii (PcRab11) and evaluated its potential involvement in immune response. The results showed PcRab11 was 1789 bp long, with an open reading frame of 645 bp encoding 211 amino acids and an estimated molecular weight of 23.8 kDa. Sequence analysis revealed its remarkable evolutionary conservation. The PcRab11 was widely expressed in various tissues, with highest levels in hepatopancreas, and localized within the cell cytoplasm. Upon infection with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) or Aeromonas veronii, the expression of PcRab11 in immune organs was significantly induced. Furthermore, silencing PcRab11 reduced phagocytosis-related genes expression and haemocytes' phagocytic activity to FITC-labeled A. veronii, as well as decreased mortality and death time in WSSV or A. veronii infected P. clarkii. Additionally, the potential protein interaction between PcRab11 and 14-3-3ε was identified in haemocytes. Overall, our findings provided evidence for the involvement of Rab11 in P. clarkii's immune response, establishing a foundation to explore the immune role of core Rab proteins in crustaceans' innate immune system.

CD39 transforming cancer therapy by modulating tumor microenvironment.

CD39 is a pivotal enzyme in cancer, regulating immune response and tumor progression via extracellular ATP and adenosine in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Beyond its established immunoregulatory function, CD39 influences cancer cell angiogenesis and metabolism, opening new frontiers for therapeutic interventions. Current research faces gaps in understanding CD39's full impact across cancer types, with ongoing debates about its potential beyond modulating immune evasion. This review distills CD39's multifaceted roles, examining its dual actions and implications for cancer prognosis and treatment. We analyze the latest therapeutic strategies, highlighting the need for an integrated approach that combines molecular insights with TME dynamics to innovate cancer care. This synthesis underscores CD39's integral role, charting a course for precision oncology that seeks to unravel controversies and harness CD39's therapeutic promise for improved cancer outcomes.

Improving broiler health through cecal microbiota transplantation: a comprehensive study on growth, immunity, and microbial diversity.

Cecal microbiota has emerged as a prominent intervention target for improving the production and welfare of poultry. This is essential for the overall health and performance of broiler chickens. The current study focused on investigating the effect of cecal microbiota transplantation (CMT) from healthy donor chickens on the growth performance, immunity, and microbial composition of newly hatched chicks and evaluated the effect of sample storage on the microbial diversity of the cecal samples. A healthy "Wannan Yellow Chicken line" was selected as the donor, and 180 1-d-old chicks from the same line were used as recipients for a 60-d feed trial. The chicks were randomly allocated to three groups (60 birds per group) with three replicates in each group. The three treatment groups were CMT-0 (control, normal saline solution), CMT-I (1:12 cecal content, normal saline supplemented with 10% glycerol), and CMT-II (1:6 cecal content, normal saline supplemented with 10% glycerol). The results of weight gain and absolute organ weight showed significant improvements in the CMT-II group compared with the CMT-0 group. Serum IgG level was significantly improved (P < 0.05) in CMT-I compared with that in the CMT-0. However, IL-6 levels increased in CMT-I and then significantly decreased in CMT-II. The cecal microbial diversity of CMT treatment was compared between two groups, fresh samples (FS) and stored samples at-80 °C (SS). The results showed that beneficial taxa, such as Firmicutes and Verrucomicrobiota, were substantially more abundant in both CMT-I and CMT-II than in CMT-0 in both FS and SS. Microbial function analysis at levels 1, 2, and 3 showed improved metabolism, genetic information processing, cellular processes, environmental information processing, and organismal systems in CMT-I and CMT-II for both FS and SS groups. However, the SS group showed decreased microbial diversity and function. To conclude, cecal microbiota transplantation is a promising strategy for enhancing the productivity and health of broiler chickens.

The cecal microbiota refers to a diverse community of microorganisms that play a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall gut health, influencing the well-being and performance of the host bird. In this study, we aimed to improve the health and growth of broiler chickens by exploring a unique approach called cecal microbiota transplantation. A thorough investigation was conducted by transplanting the microbiota from healthy Wannan Yellow Chicken line donors into newly hatched chicks in a 60-d feeding trial. After dividing the chicks into three groups, each receiving different treatments, we found significant enhancements in WG and organ health in the groups that received cecal microbiota transplants. The results also showed improvements in Serum IgG levels in the treatment groups. Furthermore, the analysis of microbial diversity indicated that beneficial microorganisms were more abundant in the treated groups, suggesting a positive effect on chicken digestive health. To summarize, our findings suggest that transferring healthy gut microorganisms from mature parent chickens to young chicks can lead to improved growth, immune system function, microbial diversity, and overall health. This approach is a promising strategy for enhancing the productivity and well-being of broiler chickens.

Misdiagnosis Diagnosis of Pneumocystis Pneumonia as Chemical Pneumonitis.

Background: Auxiliaries, a mixed chemicals, for printing and dyeing characterized by their diverse range and complex chemical compositions are commonly utilized in the textile industry. These chemicals can lead to environmental contamination and pose health risks to humans. Case Description: A 29-year-old man who worked in a printing and dyeing factory in Suzhou, China, reported having tightness in his chest and coughing. Despite seeking medical treatment at several hospitals, the initial diagnosis remained elusive. High-resolution chest CT scans showed multifocal lesions in both lungs. The patient had no significant medical history, and the respiratory symptoms only surfaced after exposure to dyeing auxiliaries. Physicians initially suspected chemical pneumonitis due to occupational exposure. However, a subsequent evaluation at a hospital specializing in occupational diseases led to a diagnosis of AIDS and pneumocystis pneumonia. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of comprehensive clinical diagnosis to avoid biases and reduce the incidence of misdiagnosis.

Binary hydrogels constructed from lotus rhizome starch and different types of carrageenan for dysphagia management: Nonlinear rheological behaviors and structural characteristics.

This study focused on binary hydrogels constructed from lotus rhizome starch (LRS) and three types of carrageenan (κ-C, ι-C, and λ-C). The enthalpy of LRS gelatinization was reduced by 32.1%-88.4% with the incorporation of carrageenan. Compared with ι-C and λ-C, the conformations of κ-C more facilitated the development of the binary hydrogel network structure. The ability of the LRS/carrageenan binary hydrogel to immobilize water was mainly related to the effect of different types of carrageenan on starch molecular ordering. LRS-based hydrogels were recognized as level 4 in the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) framework. Nevertheless, the incorporation of carrageenan significantly reduced the ability of the LRS hydrogel to resist stress under large deformations, which might be favorable to oral processing and swallowing. This research provides preliminary evidence for relevant industries to use carrageenan to adjust LRS hydrogel properties and improve the quality of starch-based foods for dysphagia management.

Protein from tiger nut meal extracted by deep eutectic solvent and alkali-soluble acid precipitation: A comparative study on structure, function, and nutrition.

Protein from tiger nut meal (TNP) performance high nutritional value. This study optimized the extraction parameters for TNP (DES-TNP) using deep eutectic solvent, with HBD: HBA = 5:1, Liquid: Solid = 11:1, and the moisture content was 15 %. A comprehensive comparison was conducted with the protein extracted using alkali-soluble acid precipitation (ASAE-TNP). DES-TNP demonstrated significantly higher purity (76.21 ± 2.59 %) than ASAE-TNP (67.48 ± 1.11 %). Density functional theory confirmed the successful synthesis of DES and its strong interaction with TNP. Moreover, DES-TNP and ASAE-TNP were different in structure (microscopic, secondary, and tertiary) and molecular weight distribution. The discrepancy contributed to the different functional properties, DES-TNP exhibiting better solubility, emulsification and foaming properties at pH13 compared to ASAE-TNP. For nutritional properties, DES-TNP and ASAE-TNP exhibited similar amino acid composition and digestibility, but the total amino acid content of DES-TNP was higher. This study presented a novel method for the extraction and comprehensive utilization of TNP.

Conjugated backbone optimization of an all-fused-ring acceptor for efficient and stable organic solar cells.

Three all-fused-ring acceptors with different conjugated backbone are designed as acceptor materials for organic solar cells. It is found that the horizontally extended conjugation of all-fused-ring acceptors leads to better photovoltaic performance compared to the vertically extended analogue. The results provide a guideline for designing high-performance and stable all-fused-ring acceptor materials.

Regeneration of sedimentary manganese in coastal sediments deciphered by 224Ra/228Th disequilibria.

Manganese (Mn) is a vital micronutrient and participates in multiple biochemical reactions and enzyme catalytic activities. Its cycling is tightly connected with iron (Fe) and nitrogen (N). Although coastal sediments are recognized as an important source of dissolved Mn to marine waters, this contribution remains inadequately quantified. In the summer of 2019 and 2020, we investigated benthic fluxes of dissolved Mn, Fe and ammonia (NH4+) in the Changjiang Estuary and East China Sea shelf using the 224Ra/228Th disequilibrium approach. Our results showed that the availability of reactive Mn oxides (MnD) played a crucial role in sedimentary Mn regeneration, as revealed by the positive correlation (r = 0.75, P < 0.05) between Mn fluxes and MnD contents. In addition, the positive correlation (r = 0.80, P < 0.01) between the decomposition rates of sedimentary organic matter (NH4+ flux) and Mn fluxes suggested that the reduction of MnD was mainly driven by the organic carbon oxidation. Furthermore, NH4+ and Mn fluxes exhibited an exponential increase against the product of dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) and the amplification factor of sediment surface area (ξ). In this context, ξ represents the rate of bottom water DO pumped into the sediment via physical reworking and bio-irrigation. In contrast to the most efficient Fe released from sediment overlain by hypoxic waters (DO <62.5 µM), the maximum Mn flux (63.5 ± 9.4 mmol m-2 d-1) was observed at sediment with oxygenated bottom waters (DO = 158 µM). This implies that the regeneration of Mn was associated with a more permissive redox state compared to that of Fe. We further demonstrated that Mn flux was 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than those estimated through traditional methods. Therefore, coastal sediments may contribute more Mn to ocean waters than previously thought. The precise estimation of Mn release from coastal sediments holds critical significance for research on the global Mn budget.

MEMS Fingertip Strain Plethysmography for Cuffless Estimation of Blood Pressure.

OBJECTIVE: To develop a cuffless method for estimating blood pressure (BP) from fingertip strain plethysmography (SPG) recordings. METHODS: A custom-built micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) strain sensor is employed to record heartbeat-induced vibrations at the fingertip. An XGboost regressor is then trained to relate SPG recordings to beat-to-beat systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) values. For this purpose, each SPG segment in this setup is represented by a feature vector consisting of cardiac time interval, amplitude features, statistical properties, and demographic information of the subjects. In addition, a novel concept, coined geometric features, are introduced and incorporated into the feature space to further encode the dynamics in SPG recordings. The performance of the regressor is assessed on 32 healthy subjects through 5-fold cross-validation (5-CV) and leave-subject-out cross validation (LSOCV). RESULTS: Mean absolute errors (MAEs) of 3.88 mmHg and 5.45 mmHg were achieved for DBP and SBP estimations, respectively, in the 5-CV setting. LSOCV yielded MAEs of 8.16 mmHg for DBP and 16.81 mmHg for SBP. Through feature importance analysis, 3 geometric and 26 integral-related features introduced in this work were identified as primary contributors to BP estimation. The method exhibited robustness against variations in blood pressure level (normal to critical) and body mass index (underweight to obese), with MAE ranges of [1.28, 4.28] mmHg and [2.64, 7.52] mmHg, respectively. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest high potential for SPG-based BP estimation at the fingertip. SIGNIFICANCE: This study presents a fundamental step towards the augmentation of optical sensors that are susceptible to dark skin tones.

EMG-based Multi-User Hand Gesture Classification via Unsupervised Transfer Learning Using Unknown Calibration Gestures.

The poor generalization performance and heavy training burden of the gesture classification model contribute as two main barriers that hinder the commercialization of sEMG-based human-machine interaction (HMI) systems. To overcome these challenges, eight unsupervised transfer learning (TL) algorithms developed on the basis of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were explored and compared on a dataset consisting of 10 gestures from 35 subjects. The highest classification accuracy obtained by CORrelation Alignment (CORAL) reaches more than 90%, which is 10% higher than the methods without using TL. In addition, the proposed model outperforms 4 common traditional classifiers (KNN, LDA, SVM, and Random Forest) using the minimal calibration data (two repeated trials for each gesture). The results also demonstrate the model has a great transfer robustness/flexibility for cross-gesture and cross-day scenarios, with an accuracy of 87.94% achieved using calibration gestures that are different with model training, and an accuracy of 84.26% achieved using calibration data collected on a different day, respectively. As the outcomes confirm, the proposed CNN TL method provides a practical solution for freeing new users from the complicated acquisition paradigm in the calibration process before using sEMG-based HMI systems.

Integrative omics analysis elucidates the genetic basis underlying seed weight and oil content in soybean.

Synergistic optimization of key agronomic traits by traditional breeding has dramatically enhanced crop productivity in the past decades. However, the genetic basis underlying coordinated regulation of yield- and quality-related traits remains poorly understood. Here, we dissected the genetic architectures of seed weight and oil content by combining genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) using 421 soybean (Glycine max) accessions. We identified 26 and 33 genetic loci significantly associated with seed weight and oil content by GWAS, respectively, and detected 5,276 expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) regulating expression of 3,347 genes based on population transcriptomes. Interestingly, a gene module (IC79), regulated by two eQTL hotspots, exhibited significant correlation with both seed weigh and oil content. Twenty-two candidate causal genes for seed traits were further prioritized by TWAS, including Regulator of Weight and Oil of Seed 1 (GmRWOS1), which encodes a sodium pump protein. GmRWOS1 was verified to pleiotropically regulate seed weight and oil content by gene knockout and overexpression. Notably, allelic variations of GmRWOS1 were strongly selected during domestication of soybean. This study uncovers the genetic basis and network underlying regulation of seed weight and oil content in soybean and provides a valuable resource for improving soybean yield and quality by molecular breeding.
