Publication number: 20250054288Abstract: Various examples relate to translating image labels from one domain (e.g., a synthetic domain) to another domain (e.g., a real-world domain) to improve model performance on real-world datasets and applications. Systems and methods are disclosed that provide an unsupervised label translator that may employ a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based approach. In contrast to conventional systems, the disclosed approach can employ a data-centric perspective that addresses systematic mismatches between datasets from different sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Yuan-Hong LIAO, David Jesus ACUNA MARRERO, James LUCAS, Rafid MAHMOOD, Sanja FIDLER, Viraj Uday PRABHU

Publication number: 20230193290Abstract: A SEC12-like protein gene CPU1 and application thereof in improving soybean phosphorus efficiency are disclosed. Through genome-wide association studies, a major genetic locus affecting soybean phosphorus efficiency is identified, and the candidate gene CPU1 is discovered and validated. There are natural variations in gene CPU1 in soybean population, including two alleles, phosphorus-inefficient allele CPU1-H1 and phosphorus-efficient allele CPU1-H2. Studies based on CPU1-transformation plants shows that inhibiting the expression of the allele CPU1-H2 significantly reduces soybean phosphorus efficiency, and ultimately reduces the biomass and yield of transgenic plants. The present disclosure provides new scientific insights into genetic bases underlying natural phenotypic variation in crops, and provides novel allele resources for molecular breeding of phosphorus efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: Fujian Agriculture and Forestry UniversityInventors: Zilong GUO, Zhichang CHEN, Hong LIAO

Publication number: 20230088888Abstract: A phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 regulated by Phosphate deficiency and application thereof are provided. The phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 is obtained by isolating from roots of soybean planted in acidic soil. The phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 belongs to Burkholderia sp., which has a dissolving capacity for insoluble inorganic phosphate and organic phosphate. The phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 is regulated by phosphate deficiency, which can effectively colonize on soybean roots under phosphate-deficient conditions, and thus promote soybean growth under low-phosphate conditions. The phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 releases dissolved phosphate by dissolving insoluble inorganic phosphate and organic phosphate, so that it helps plants to absorb insoluble phosphate. Compared with the non-inoculated control, inoculating RBC25 in greenhouses can increase the biomass and phosphorus content of soybean by 39.6% and 35.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: Fujian Agriculture and Forestry UniversityInventors: Yongjia ZHONG, Hong LIAO
