1. IntroductionStudies have shown that people’s average daily salt intake far exceeds the amount needed to meet basic physiological functions [1]. Globally, the average daily sodium intake is between 3.54 g and 4.72 g, far exceeding the maximum of 2 g/day recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) [2]. However, excessive sodium intake can cause an elevation of blood pressure, which further leads to cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension and coronary heart disease [3,4].

2.4. Model Construction 2.4.1. DPN ModelThe DPN model is a deep learning architecture that combines the strengths of both DenseNet and ResNet by integrating dense and residual connections [25]. This hybrid approach allows the network to preserve and reuse feature (as in DenseNet) while maintaining the ability to pass identity mappings (as in ResNet).

AbstractTWAS have shown great promise in extending GWAS loci to a functional understanding of disease mechanisms. In an effort to fully unleash the TWAS and GWAS information, we propose MTWAS, a statistical framework that partitions and aggregates cross-tissue and tissue-specific genetic effects in identifying gene-trait associations.

3. Results 3.1. Effect of Low-Temperature Stress on Seed GerminationAs shown in Supplementary Table S1, low-temperature stress during germination inhibited soybean seed germination. The GR and GP were calculated using Equations (1) and (2). The results revealed that the germination rate of all cultivars in the control group was higher than 85%, and the germination potential was higher than 80% after 5 days but decreased significantly at low temperatures.
