Abstract: The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a weed control method. In one example, a method comprises applying to the locus a weed controlling amount of a pesticide composition comprising a FatA acyl-ACP thioesterase-inhibiting herbicide, wherein the crop plants are modified such that they comprise a FatA acyl-ACP thioesterase which provides the crop plant with tolerance against the FatA acyl-ACP thioesterase-inhibiting herbicide. Recombinant polynucleotides and suitable for use in the methods, and edited FatA acyl-ACP thioesterases are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for identifying, selecting, and/or producing a soybean plant or germplasm resistant to Asian soybean rust using markers, genes and chromosomal intervals derived from Glycine max strain SX6907. Asian soybean rust resistant soybean seeds, plants, and germplasms are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for chimeric RNA comprising a guide RNA and bait RNA for modifying a target site in the genome of a cell. Such modifications include integration of a transgene and allelic mutations and modifications of native genes. Also provided are plants comprising a modified nucleic acid sequence compared to the native gene integrated into a targeted genomic site in the plant genome.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for conferring herbicide resistance or tolerance upon plants towards certain classes of herbicide are provided. In particular these are amine, alcohol and aminal herbicides. The compositions include nucleotide and amino acid sequences for wild-type and mutant glucosyl transferase polypeptides. The polypeptides of the invention are mutant or wild type glucosyl transferases that are capable of catalyzing the transfer of glucose to certain herbicidal structures and that, thereby, confer resistance or tolerance in plants to amine, alcohol and aminal PSII herbicides. Particularly, polypeptides of the invention include mutant or wild-type bx-type UDP glucosyl transferases.

Abstract: The present application discloses an electronic apparatus comprising a body, a rotary connection device, a bracket and a base, wherein, the bracket is rotatably connected to the body via the rotary connection device; the base is detachably connected to the body via the bracket. The electronic apparatus is in a first use mode when the body is connected to the base via the bracket. The electronic apparatus is in a second use mode when the base is detached from the bracket. The second use mode is different from the first use mode.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided according to the present application. The electronic device includes a housing provided with a sliding groove. A protrusion extending towards an inner side of the sliding groove is provided at an upper edge of the sliding groove, a slidable elastic strip is slidably cooperated between the protrusion and the bottom of the sliding groove. The slidable elastic strip includes two slidable components and an elastic component, and the two slidable components are fixedly connected to two ends of the elastic component, respectively. The housing is provided with at least two locking structures which are detachably connected to the two slidable components, respectively, and are configured to allow the elastic component to slide out of the sliding groove to form a convex structure perpendicular to the housing in a case that the slidable components are immobilized to the locking structure. The structure in the present application is simple and convenient to use.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an electronic device comprising: a body comprising a display screen exposed on a first surface of the body; a connector arranged on a second surface of the body, the second surface being opposite to the first surface; an operational posture switching unit connected to the body by the connector. The unit has a first working position and a second working position and is switchable between the first working position and the second working position. The electronic device is in a first operational posture when the unit is located in the first working position while the electronic device is in a second operational posture which is different from the first operational posture when the unit is located in the second working position. The operational posture switching unit allows the body in different operational postures to improve the user's experiences.
