Abstract: A method for dynamically assessing slope safety includes the following steps: S1, carrying out geologic model generalization to the slope according to slope type, slope structure, stratum characteristics and a deformation failure mode to obtain a slope geologic model, creating a slope geometric model according to the slope geologic model, carrying out the subdivision of computational grid, and selecting a reasonable numerical simulation method, mechanical constitutive and initial boundary value conditions to form a computational model; and S2, adjusting stratum parameters, structural plane parameters and activating factor strength based on the computational model, carrying out a large amount of numerical simulation, summarizing results of the numerical simulation, normalizing input quantities and output quantities to establish machine learning samples.

Abstract: Provided is an application of EmBP1 gene or protein thereof, said gene belonging to the bZIP family of zinc finger proteins, the agronomic traits of a plant being significantly improved when the expression of EmBP1 is raised, comprising: regulating the expression of photosynthetic genes, improving photosynthetic efficiency, improving electron transfer efficiency, increasing yield, biomass, plant height, and increasing the number of tillers, etc. The EmBP1 gene can be used as a target to regulate plant agronomic traits, and is applicable to plant breeding.

Abstract: Disclosed is an application of SDG40 gene or an encoded protein thereof. Specifically, when the expression of SDG40 gene or an encoded protein thereof is inhibited, agronomic traits of crops can be significantly improved, which include: (i) improved low light utilization efficiency (A low); (ii) increased biomass; (iii) increased number of tillers; (iv) increased yield per plant; and/or (v) increased plant height. In addition, it was also found that a mutation of the promoter region of the SDG gene from C to T and/or a mutation to from A to C can also significantly improve the low light utilization efficiency (A low) of crops.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of producing biological products or increasing production of such products through expression in a plant of a bacterial or plant glycolate catabolic cycle gene, such as glycolate dehydrogenease (GDH), glycolate oxidase (GO), or malate synthase (MS) in combination with a plant gene, such as farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPS), squalene synthase (SQS), or PLAS. Also provided are plants, plants parts and compositions produced through methods of the present invention. The invention leads to two to five fold increase of end product yield.

Abstract: Provided is a method for plant improvement with the aim of increasing the light use efficiency of a plant. By expressing a light energy absorption and transduction (LEAT) protein in the plant, and by utilizing light energy absorbed to interact with a related methyl-quinone derivative in the plant body, such as plastoquinone, to catalyze water splitting and to release oxygen, the present invention increases the light use efficiency of the plant. The method effectively extends the utilization of light energy by the plant, thus increasing photosynthesis efficiency and yield.
