  • Patent number: 12227752
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of MtNAC33 gene and a protein encoded thereby in the cultivation of high-biomass and drought-tolerant alfalfa, belonging to the technical field of plant genetic engineering. The plant protein encoded by MtNAC33 gene has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, and MtNAC33 gene has the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1. In the present invention, the drought tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana and alfalfa can be significantly improved by regulating the expression level of MtNAC33 in alfalfa.

  • Publication number: 20250031274
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling for communications in a wireless communications system. The control signaling may indicate a first duration for an inactivity timer. The UE may initiate the inactivity timer and a second timer based on identifying a period of inactivity. The second timer may have a second duration that is shorter than the first duration for the inactivity timer. In some examples, the second duration may be based on one or more parameters, such as a display status, a battery status, a scaling factor, the first duration, an application state, or any combination thereof. The UE may release a connection for the communications in the wireless communications system based on an expiration of the second timer, an expiration of the inactivity timer, or a combination thereof.
