1. IntroductionNon-invasive fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) is an advanced fetal monitoring technology that captures FECG signals by placing a series of electrodes on the abdominal wall of pregnant women. In clinical practice, one can diagnose the health status of the fetus by analyzing the electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform and fetal heart rate.

1 Introduction Global climate warming is a well-documented phenomenon, with each of the past four decades being successively warmer than any preceding decade since 1850 (Quante 2010). Over the past 20 years, China has recorded its highest average temperatures since 1901, leading to significant climatic shifts such as increased rainfall in the north and stable or reduced rainfall in the south, expanding the northern rain belt (Ren et al. 2021).

Brown planthoppers (Nilaparvata lugens) and white-backed planthoppers (Sogatella furcifera) are among the most destructive pests on rice. However, plant susceptibility genes have not yet been exploited for crop protection. Here we identified a leucine-rich repeat protein, OsLRR2, from susceptible rice varieties that facilitates infestation by brown planthopper N. lugens. Field trials showed that knockout of OsLRR2 significantly reduced BPH infestation and enhanced natural biological control by attracting natural enemies. Yield of a susceptible variety was increased by 18% in insecticide-treated plots that eliminated planthoppers and by 25% in untreated plots. These findings underscore the pivotal role of OsLRR2, offering a promising pathway for pest population suppression and rice yield increase. Planthoppers are among the most destructive pests on rice. This study identified that a leucine-rich repeat protein OsLRR2 negatively regulates defence responses. Knockout of the encoding gene OsLRR2 enhances rice herbivore resistance and yield, which holds the potential to produce high-yielding rice varieties that are resistant to devastating pest insects.
