Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) serve as essential tools for elucidating the genetic architecture of complex traits through systematic analysis of genome-wide genotype-phenotype relationships. The exponential growth of high-throughput sequencing technologies has generated unprecedented volumes of genetic variation data, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms, creating substantial computational challenges for data processing and analysis. This review examines the application of big data technologies in GWAS, encompassing four critical domains: (1) scalable data storage and management systems, (2) high-performance computing frameworks, (3) dimensionality reduction and feature extraction methodologies for large-scale datasets, and (4) machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms for identifying and predicting genetic variation patterns. Through comprehensive analysis of current big data approaches in GWAS, we address the computational complexity inherent in massive genomic datasets, focusing on methods for detecting epistatic interactions and strategies for multi-dimensional data integration. Furthermore, we explore the transformative potential of AI technologies in precision breeding applications, particularly their implications for crop improvement and personalized agriculture. The primary objective of this work is to advance complex trait genetics research by systematically evaluating big data processing methods and AI technologies in GWAS contexts, ultimately providing novel technical frameworks and methodologies for efficient functional gene identification.

To elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of starch accumulation and key enzyme activities in rice grains under different cultivation methods in arid regions, this study selected four representative rice varieties and established three typical planting patterns: water-conserving dry direct seeding (W1), dry seeding followed by irrigation (W2), and traditional transplanting (W3). The yield components, grain starch content, and activities of key enzymes involved in starch synthesis, including AGP, GBSS, and SSS, were systematically analyzed. The results showed that, compared with W3, both W1 and W2 treatments slightly reduced total yield but significantly improved 1,000-grain weight and seed setting rate, and markedly increased total starch and amylose content in the grains, with the most pronounced effects observed under W1 treatment. Enzyme activity assays indicated that W1 and W2 significantly enhanced SSS activity, while W3 maintained higher AGP and GBSS activity. Significant varietal differences were observed in response to cultivation methods, with variety B performing best across multiple key traits. Further correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between starch synthase activity and starch accumulation, indicating that cultivation methods can influence starch composition and accumulation by modulating the expression and activity of related enzymes. This study reveals the physiological effects of different rice cultivation models on starch synthesis in arid regions, providing theoretical and practical guidance for optimizing dry direct seeding techniques and improving rice quality.

In the context of global climate change, the increasing frequency of extreme precipitation events poses a significant threat to the yield stability and security of major food crops, such as sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L.). To systematically elucidate the physiological response mechanisms of sweet potato to waterlogging stress at different growth stages and their effects on yield formation, this study used the cultivar WY18 and applied three waterlogging treatments: during the vine elongation stage, the storage root expansion stage, and the entire growth period. Changes in morphological traits, physiological and biochemical indicators, and yield components were comprehensively analyzed. The results showed that waterlogging significantly reduced the root-to-shoot ratio and relative leaf water content, induced the accumulation of proline and soluble sugars, and markedly enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase, indicating that the plant activated its antioxidant defense system to alleviate oxidative damage caused by stress. In terms of yield, waterlogging during the storage root expansion stage resulted in a greater yield reduction than during vine elongation. At the same time, the whole-period stress caused the most severe yield loss, suggesting that the storage root expansion stage is the most sensitive period to waterlogging. Correlation analysis revealed that yield decline was closely associated with plant water imbalance and the intensity of antioxidant responses. The novelty of this study lies in its systematic comparison of sensitivity differences across sweet potato growth stages to waterlogging stress, identification of key mechanisms—such as assimilate allocation shifts and metabolic disorders—that limit yield formation, and determination of the critical sensitive period.

To systematically elucidate the synergistic regulatory mechanisms of nitrogen management and spatial configuration on crop growth dynamics and yield formation in soybean-maize strip intercropping systems, this study employed two nitrogen application levels (no nitrogen and nitrogen application) and four interspecific spacing treatments (30, 45, 60, and 75 cm), with corresponding sole cropping systems as controls. Key parameters, including crop growth rate, dry matter accumulation and distribution, yield components, and land equivalent ratio, were monitored and analyzed. The results demonstrated significant interactive effects between crops under intercropping conditions, with a suitable interspecific spacing of 60 cm optimizing interspecific resource competition and complementarity, thereby markedly enhancing dry matter accumulation and grain yield. Nitrogen application not only improved yield but also reshaped the pattern of dry matter distribution, reinforcing intra-system synergy and resource use efficiency. All intercropping combinations outperformed sole cropping in land use efficiency, with the nitrogen-applied 60 cm spacing treatment achieving the best performance, reflecting strong crop complementarity and yield potential. This study proposes a dual-factor synergistic regulation strategy, combining “nitrogen application + optimized interspecific spacing,” and highlights the pivotal role of dry matter accumulation and distribution in yield formation. It provides theoretical and practical guidance for high-yield and efficient management of soybean-maize strip intercropping systems.

Against the backdrop of increasingly severe water shortages in arid irrigated regions of Northwest China, elucidating the root adaptive mechanisms of spring wheat under drip irrigation in response to staged drought-rewatering stress holds significant theoretical and practical value for promoting water-saving and efficient agriculture. This study selected spring wheat cultivars with contrasting drought tolerance and employed soil column cultivation combined with precise drip irrigation control. Mild and moderate drought treatments were applied during the tillering and jointing stages to systematically evaluate the dynamic responses of key physiological and ecological indicators, including root morphological development, antioxidant enzyme activity, osmotic adjustment substance content, and yield formation. The results showed that mild drought promoted root growth in the 20–60 cm soil layer, enhanced root activity and antioxidant capacity, and induced a pronounced physiological compensation effect after rewatering, thereby contributing to yield stability or improvement. Significant differences were observed between drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive cultivars in terms of root regulation pathways, stress resistance strategies, and the intensity of physiological responses. By coupling precise water regulation under drip irrigation with staged drought stress, this study proposes a regulation pathway of “moderate stress–timely rewatering” to optimize root development and achieve yield compensation, offering scientific insights and technical support for efficient water-saving cultivation and precision irrigation strategies for spring wheat in arid irrigated areas.

Water scarcity and excessive nitrogen application have become major constraints to the sustainable development of modern agriculture. As an efficient water-saving irrigation technique, drip irrigation offers substantial potential for the precise management of water and nitrogen in crop production. To clarify how water-nitrogen coordination under drip irrigation influences winter wheat performance, a field experiment was conducted in the North China Plain. A randomized block design with varying nitrogen application rates and irrigation levels was used to systematically assess their effects on grain yield formation, photosynthetic characteristics, soil nitrogen dynamics, and water and nitrogen use efficiency. The results demonstrated that appropriate combinations of water and nitrogen significantly enhanced the net photosynthetic rate and grain yield of winter wheat. Optimal treatments not only improved water and nitrogen use efficiency but also reduced residual soil nitrogen and the risk of nitrogen leaching, promoting synergistic and efficient utilization of resources. This study elucidated the regulatory mechanisms of water-nitrogen interactions on key physiological processes during critical growth stages of winter wheat under drip irrigation, and established an optimized water-nitrogen management model aimed at improving yield and resource efficiency. The findings provide scientific guidance for water and nitrogen regulation in winter wheat drip irrigation in similar ecological regions, offering theoretical support and practical strategies to address water scarcity and nitrogen overuse.

To address the critical challenges of low embryogenic induction efficiency and limited system stability in winter wheat microspore culture, this study systematically optimized key technical parameters involved in microspore isolation, induction, and differentiation, while also assessing genotypic responses. Using three winter wheat cultivars as experimental materials, a series of culture trials was conducted under varying pretreatment regimes, isolation solutions, inoculation densities, and differentiation media. The results indicated that an extended period of low-temperature pretreatment notably improved microspore viability and embryogenic competence. Among the tested isolation solutions, one specific formulation yielded the highest proportion of viable microspores. An intermediate inoculation density was found to be optimal for callus induction, significantly enhancing tissue proliferation. Furthermore, a specially formulated differentiation medium substantially promoted organogenesis from callus tissues. Significant to highly significant differences among genotypes were observed during microspore culture, particularly at the stages of callus formation and differentiation. This study established a simplified, efficient, and reproducible microspore culture system with wide genotypic applicability, clarified the major influencing factors and their interactions in microspore embryogenesis, and provided a robust cellular engineering platform for accelerating the breeding process of winter wheat.

Against the backdrop of increasingly scarce water resources in northern China, exploring efficient water-saving irrigation models for summer maize holds significant practical value. Under the condition of equal total irrigation volume, this study systematically compared the effects and underlying mechanisms of four irrigation methods—furrow irrigation (FI), drip irrigation (DI), subsurface drip irrigation (SDI), and micro-irrigation (MI)—on soil water distribution, plant growth and development, water use efficiency, and yield formation in summer maize. The results showed that SDI and MI significantly optimized the vertical distribution of soil moisture within the root zone, reduced surface soil moisture fluctuations, and enhanced moisture retention in deeper layers, thereby promoting deeper root growth and prolonging leaf functional duration. These changes led to improved photosynthetic capacity and dry matter accumulation, ultimately contributing to yield enhancement. Compared with FI, both SDI and MI markedly improved yield performance and water use efficiency, highlighting their strong potential for water conservation. This study innovatively revealed the synergistic physiological mechanisms through which advanced irrigation technologies enhance water use efficiency and delay leaf senescence, while elucidating their advantages in yield formation and water-saving effectiveness. The findings provide scientific evidence and management strategies to support green and efficient summer maize production in arid regions.

The soil nitrogen cycle is a core biogeochemical process in farmland ecosystems, with microorganisms playing a crucial role in nitrogen transformation. With the rapid advancement of high-throughput sequencing technologies and big data analysis methods, researchers can now more accurately analyze the structure and dynamic changes of soil microbial communities, thereby exploring their functional mechanisms in nitrogen transformation. This study outlines the primary processes of nitrogen cycling in agricultural soils, with a focus on the roles of various microbial communities in nitrogen mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, and nitrogen fixation. By integrating high-throughput sequencing with multidimensional environmental data, the application of big data in monitoring microbial activity and constructing models of nitrogen cycling is explored. A nitrogen transformation model based on microbial activity, soil moisture, and organic matter variation is proposed to simulate and predict the effects of different management practices on soil nitrogen use efficiency. Furthermore, by incorporating big data mining and machine learning technologies, the study optimizes fertilizer and water management strategies, proposing precision fertilization and integrated water-nutrient management plans that aim to improve nitrogen use efficiency and promote environmental sustainability. This big data-driven, microbially mediated nitrogen transformation model reveals the dynamic mechanisms of soil nitrogen cycling and provides scientific and technological support for the future implementation of precision agriculture.

Against the backdrop of increasing global water scarcity, the treatment and resource utilization of agricultural wastewater have become key components in promoting sustainable agricultural development. Agricultural wastewater encompasses farmland drainage, effluents from livestock and poultry farming, and agricultural processing wastewater, all of which are characterized by complex compositions and variable properties that impose high demands on treatment technologies. Currently, widely applied methods include biological treatments, physicochemical treatments, and various integrated approaches, which recover key nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus for reuse, thereby alleviating some of the ecological pressures associated with fertilizer use. Additionally, reclaimed water irrigation not only helps boost crop yields but also improves soil structure and the environment, demonstrating significant environmental benefits. However, the application of reclaimed water also poses risks, including heavy metal residues, the spread of pathogenic microorganisms, and potential long-term impacts on soil and crop health. In recent years, the extensive application of modern information technologies—such as sensor systems, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence—in wastewater treatment and irrigation management has greatly enhanced processing efficiency and the level of reclaimed water utilization. This paper systematically reviews the current status, technological progress, and typical application cases of agricultural wastewater treatment and resource utilization. It analyzes the application potential of related technologies in sustainable agriculture and explores future research directions and development challenges.

In recent years, with the increasing scarcity of water resources, reclaimed water irrigation has been widely applied in agricultural production as an important measure to alleviate water shortages. However, due to the complex composition of reclaimed water, long-term irrigation may lead to soil physical structure degradation, salt accumulation, nutrient imbalance, and alterations in microbial community composition, thereby posing potential risks to crop growth, quality, and food safety. Based on relevant literature and typical cases from both domestic and international studies, this paper systematically evaluates the mechanisms by which reclaimed water irrigation affects soil structural stability, chemical properties (including salt and nutrient dynamics), and microbial ecosystems, while also examining its impacts on crop physiological growth, quality changes, and heavy metal accumulation risks. Furthermore, it discusses in detail the key technologies, data collection, and analytical methods used in long-term monitoring of soil and crops. This paper aims to provide a theoretical basis and technical support for developing scientific and rational reclaimed water irrigation management strategies, ensuring the safety and sustainability of agricultural production.

The water retention performance of farmland soil is a key factor in ensuring crop growth, improving irrigation efficiency, and achieving sustainable agricultural development. In recent years, with the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology in the agricultural field, new opportunities have emerged for soil moisture management. Based on a systematic analysis of soil water retention characteristics and their main influencing factors, this study constructs a framework for optimizing soil water retention performance strategies using artificial intelligence, primarily focusing on three key aspects: intelligent monitoring and data mining, deep learning models, and precision irrigation. The framework is then verified through case studies with performance evaluations. By developing a real-time soil moisture monitoring system, the framework enables multi-source data collection and precise analysis; deep learning is used to model historical and real-time data, predict crop irrigation needs, and optimize irrigation control strategies; combined with typical farmland cases, field experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of intelligent soil improvement and management plans in enhancing soil water retention performance. This study aims to provide scientific and innovative technological support and practical guidance for farmland water resource management and sustainable agricultural development, promoting the in-depth application of artificial intelligence technology in precision agriculture.

With the global shift toward cleaner and low-carbon energy systems, Multi-Energy Systems (MES)—which integrate electricity, heat, gas, and other energy carriers—are emerging as a key foundation of the new energy paradigm. Due to strong physical and control-layer couplings across subsystems, MES stability involves high complexity and dynamic uncertainty, which limits the applicability of conventional power system stability theories and necessitates methodological innovation. This paper reviews recent advances in MES integrated stability from three perspectives. First, it discusses dynamic modeling approaches, including modular, hybrid physical–cyber, and data-driven methods. Second, it summarizes stability analysis techniques such as small-signal and transient stability, along with multi-timescale coupled modeling and solution methods. Third, it examines coordinated control strategies, including hierarchical control, source–load–network coordination, demand-side response, and intelligent control methods such as reinforcement learning. The roles of big data and artificial intelligence in state awareness, stability assessment, and adaptive control are also highlighted. Key challenges are identified in the depth of theoretical modeling, understanding coupling mechanisms, and managing uncertainty. Finally, future directions—such as multi-scale modeling theories, cross-domain coupling characterization, and robustness-oriented control strategies—are outlined to guide the secure and efficient development of next-generation MES.

This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent advances in the application of AI to power system stability, with a focus on data-driven dynamic stability prediction models, AI-integrated coordinated control strategies, and intelligent decision-making frameworks for disturbance detection and self-healing recovery. It further discusses core challenges in current research, including data quality and completeness, model generalization and robustness, algorithm interpretability, and feasibility of engineering deployment. Finally, the paper proposes key future research directions and potential breakthroughs. This paper aims to provide a systematic reference for advancing both theoretical research and practical implementation of AI technologies in power system stability assurance.

To address the critical challenges of rapid production decline and low recovery efficiency in the development of shale oil reservoirs in the Chang 7 Member of the Ordos Basin, this study proposes an optimization method for single-well huff and puff development that integrates imbibition and stress sensitivity. A multi-scale coupled numerical simulation framework based on the Embedded Discrete Fracture Model was established to systematically analyze the influence of key parameters—including injection timing, injection rate, shut-in duration, and huff and puff cycle—on production performance. The model fully incorporates the imbibition-driven mechanism within complex fracture networks of shale reservoirs and the dynamic regulation of seepage behavior due to stress sensitivity, enabling high-precision prediction and optimization of the injection process. Results demonstrate that rational parameter design can not only effectively replenish reservoir energy but also enhance oil recovery, with oil recovery improving by 5.1% and the oil-water displacement efficiency reaching 6.8% under optimal conditions. The innovation of this study lies in incorporating the coupled imbibition–stress sensitivity mechanism into the optimization of shale oil injection development parameters, significantly improving model adaptability and predictive accuracy, and providing valuable engineering insights for single-well huff and puff development in continental shale oil reservoirs.

This study focuses on the tight oil reservoirs of the S Oilfield and establishes a systematic research framework encompassing geological modeling, numerical simulation, parameter optimization, and performance evaluation. It investigates the mechanisms by which key engineering parameters—such as injection timing, pressure, volume, rate, and shut-in duration—affect oil recovery during CO₂ huff and puff processes. The results show that when the reservoir pressure coefficient declines to a certain level and the injection pressure approaches the minimum miscibility pressure, the contact efficiency and miscibility between CO₂ and crude oil are significantly enhanced, leading to reduced oil viscosity and improved fluidity, thereby increasing recovery. Through sensitivity analysis, the study identifies optimal parameter combinations suitable for tight reservoirs and, based on the evolution of interfacial tension, proposes a theoretical basis for scientifically determining shut-in time. This research innovatively develops a CO₂ huff and puff parameter optimization model tailored to the characteristics of tight oil reservoirs, clarifies key control mechanisms, and provides theoretical support and practical engineering strategies for the efficient development of CO₂-based tight oil resources.

To address the complexity of mechanisms and the limitations of modeling microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) in heterogeneous oil reservoirs, this study develops a reaction kinetics–flow coupling model that integrates key oil displacement mechanisms, including crude oil viscosity reduction, biopolymer-induced mobility control, and reduction of oil–water interfacial tension. The model systematically characterizes the multiscale interactions between microbial activities and the physical processes of oil reservoirs. Considering the heterogeneity of oil reservoir structures and microbial physiological behaviors, a numerical simulation method was established that is suitable for complex oil reservoir environments. Multi-source experimental data were introduced for parameter inversion and model validation to ensure physical reliability and broad applicability. Simulation results reveal that initial microbial concentration, injection rate, and nutrient ratio exert significant and nonlinear impacts on oil recovery. The innovation of this research lies in the first realization of multi-mechanism coupled dynamic modeling for the MEOR process, the proposal of quantitative characterization methods for key physico-chemical interactions, and the construction of a field-adaptive, efficient oil reservoir simulation platform. This study provides systematic and quantitative technical support for mechanistic understanding, sensitivity analysis, and field engineering optimization of MEOR in oil reservoirs.

As onshore and shallow-water reserves are gradually depleting, exploration and development activities are extending into deeper, more remote, and geologically complex marine areas. To address the technical challenges posed by extreme geological conditions such as high pressure, low temperature, and complex structures, deepwater oil and gas technologies have achieved continuous breakthroughs. In recent years, advancements in high-resolution seismic imaging, intelligent drilling and logging, deepwater production system optimization, and the integrated application of subsea production systems have significantly enhanced exploration and development capabilities. Moreover, the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and digital twins has further improved operational precision and efficiency. Despite these advancements, deepwater development still faces formidable challenges, including the risks of oil and gas leakage, equipment corrosion, construction safety, and environmental protection. Additionally, the global “dual carbon” goals have set higher demands on deepwater oil and gas development, promoting a shift toward intelligent, green, and sustainable practices. Against this backdrop, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the geological characteristics of deepwater oil and gas resources, the current status of key technologies, and the main engineering challenges. It also explores frontier research directions such as intelligent oilfield construction, carbon capture, utilization, and storage, and the integrated development of deepwater oil and gas with renewable energy. This paper aims to summarize the research progress and technical bottlenecks in deepwater oil and gas development, anticipate future trends, and offer theoretical and technical references for achieving efficient, safe, and low-carbon utilization of deepwater resources.

On this basis, it highlights key big data-driven approaches such as data integration and governance, feature extraction and pattern recognition, machine learning-based predictive modeling, and real-time processing with dynamic model updating. Practical applications are summarized in sweet spot identification, quantitative reservoir heterogeneity characterization, intelligent fracture interpretation, and integrated geological–engineering analysis. The paper further discusses core challenges, notably multi-source data fusion and interoperability, model interpretability and physical consistency, the effective incorporation of geological prior knowledge, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Finally, it outlines future research directions and provides systematic theoretical and methodological guidance for the integration of big data with shale oil geological analysis. These efforts aim to foster more intelligent, efficient, and refined development of unconventional petroleum geology.
