Modern methods of analysing biological materials, including protein and DNA sequencing, are increasingly the objects of historical study. Yet twentieth-century taxonomic techniques have been overlooked in one of their most important contexts: agricul...
Accurate and detailed spatial soil information is essential for environmental modelling, risk assessment and decision making. The use of Remote Sensing data as secondary sources of information in digital soil mapping has been found to be cost effecti...
Graphene oxide (GO) and carboxylated GO were used as labels for lateral flow immunoassays, instead of the conventionally used colloidal gold and colored latex labels. A sensor is demonstrated that enables fast screening for aflatoxin B (AFB) as a mod...
The concept of precision agriculture, which proposes farming management adapted to crop variability, has emerged in recent years. To effectively implement precision agriculture, data must be gathered from the field in an automated manner at minimal c...
We present a pipeline for the visual localization and classification of agricultural pest insects by computing a saliency map and applying deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) learning. First, we used a global contrast region-based approach to co...
The global movement of people and goods has increased the risk of biosecurity threats and their potential to incur large economic, social, and environmental costs. Conventional manual biosecurity surveillance methods are limited by their scalability ...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies showed an in-depth ecological understanding by traditional people of managing natural resources. We studied the landscape ethnoecological knowledge (LEEK) of Székelys on the basis of 16-19(th) century village laws. We ana...
Crop phenotyping encompasses methodologies for measuring plant growth, architecture, and composition with high precision across scales, from organs to canopies. Field-based phenotyping is pivotal in bridging genomic data with crop performance, offeri...
Global climate change exacerbates drought stress, severely affecting plant growth, agricultural productivity, and the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Alkaloids, nitrogenous compounds with diverse biological activities, hold substantial medicin...
Climate change induces many abiotic stresses, including soil salinity, significantly challenging global agriculture. Salinity stress tolerance (SST) is a complex trait, both physiologically and genetically, and is conferred at various levels of plant...
