Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is widely known for its distinguished exploration ability.However, its exploitation ability is relatively poor.To solve the problem, we propose a novel combinatorial search strategy, whose guided vector can be freely switched between a random vector and the global best vector.It can help improve the exploitatio
Fruit prickles are widely distributed on the pericarp and exhibit polymorphic traits at different developmental stages.Although they are multicellular appendages that are well-known for helping plants defend against biotic and abiotic stresses, their origination and molecular mechanism are still less known.Here, we studied the origination and molec
Mitochondria are important organelles for providing the ATP and carbon skeletons required to sustain cell growth.While these organelles also participate in other key metabolic functions across species, they have a specialized role in plants of optimizing photosynthesis through participating in photorespiration.It is therefore critical to map the pr
