Abstract
The introduction of pollinator bumblebees ( Bombus terrestris ) or using the plant hormone, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), are common methods to improve tomato production in greenhouses. In this study, we compared the performance and transcriptomics of Solanum lycopersicum in response to B. terrestris and 2,4-D in greenhouse experiments. Tomato plants exposed to bumblebees had significantly higher fruiting rate and yield, weight and seed amounts, and significantly improved vitamin C, lycopene, soluble sugar contents, compared to hormone treatment. Bumblebee-treated tomatoes had 1171 significantly up-regulated genes, mainly enriched in photosynthesis, response to wounding, flavonoid biosynthesis, and carbohydrate biosynthetic process. By contrast, a total of 718 genes of 2,4-D-treated tomatoes were significantly up-regulated, which were mainly enriched in UDP-glucosyltransferase activity, response to chemical or auxin. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of 14 candidate genes all exhibited good reproduction with the transcriptome data. These responses implied that bumblebee-treated tomatoes had improved photosynthesis and carbon-fixation capacity compared to 2,4-D-treated tomatoes. The use of bumblebees, as natural pollinators should be widely adopted in greenhouse horticulture to increase tomato yields and its nutritional contents.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
