A recent study investigates the intermuscular bones (IBs) of a novel hybrid fish (BTB), derived from female Megalobrama amblycephala (BSB) and male Culter alburnus (TC), and its parents. The research reveals that BTB exhibits a reduced number of IBs per sarcomere compared to its parents, showcasing the potential of distant hybridization in developing fish varieties with fewer IBs, which is advantageous for both consumer preference and industrial processing.

Researchers from China developed the FI-R model, a novel flowering spectral index for the fine-scale extraction of angiosperms over large areas in complex multi-regional backgrounds, using rapeseed as an example. FI-R shows low sensitivity to background complexity and rapeseed varieties, and it has good applicability to multiple multi-spectral sensor images.
