FAST Ultra-Deep Survey (FUDS): The Star Formation Histories of FUDS0 Galaxies by Hongwei Xi, Lister Staveley-Smith, Bo Peng, Bi-Qing For, Bin Liu, Dejian Ding

“…Based on their distribution on the SFR versus M _* diagram, the typical evolution of H i -selected galaxies follows three distinct stages: (i) early stage: the total SFR increases, though the specific SFR decreases from 10 ^−8 to 10 ^−9 yr ^−1 ; (ii) mass accumulation stage: the SFR is steady, and stellar mass increase linearly with time; (iii) quenching stage: star formation activity quenches on a rapid timescale and at constant stellar mass. 37 non-detections are located on the star-forming main sequence, but are not detected in H i due to low sensitivity close to the field edges or close to strong radio frequency interference. …”

Implications of the <i>STAT5B</i> and <i>C1QBP</i> Genes of Grain Aphid <i>Sitobion avenae</i> in the Transmission of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus by Chiping Liu, Manwen Zhang, Chen Luo, Zuqing Hu

“…Furthermore, the effects of <i>STAT5B</i> and <i>C1QBP</i> on the acquisition, retention, and transmission of BYDV-GAV in <i>S. avenae</i> were verified using the RNA interference (RNAi) method. The results show the following: (1) the expression levels of <i>STAT5B</i> and <i>C1QBP</i> were significantly upregulated during the AAPs and IAPs of BYDV-GAV; (2) the silencing of <i>STAT5B</i> led to a significant increase in BYDV-GAV retention during IAPs; and (3) the silencing of <i>C1QBP</i> resulted in a notable decrease in BYDV-GAV acquisition during the AAPs, as well as a significant increase in BYDV-GAV retention during the IAPs. …”
