BACKGROUND: Our understanding of polyploid genomes is limited by our inability to definitively assign sequences to a specific subgenome without extensive prior knowledge like high resolution genetic maps or genome sequences of diploid progenitors. In...
Developing automated methods to efficiently process large volumes of point cloud data remains a challenge for three-dimensional (3D) plant phenotyping applications. Here, we describe the development of machine learning methods to tackle three primary...
This research work aims to develop a deep learning-based crop classification framework for remotely sensed time series data. Tobacco is a major revenue generating crop of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province of Pakistan, with over 90% of the country's To...
Precision agricultural techniques try to prevent either an excessive or inadequate application of agrochemicals during pesticide application. In recent years, it has become popular to combine traditional agricultural practices with artificial intelli...
spp. (root-knot nematodes [RKNs]) are a major threat to a wide range of agricultural crops worldwide. Breeding crops for RKN resistance is an effective management strategy, yet assaying large numbers of breeding lines requires laborious bioassays th...
Color is one of the most important indicators to characteristic the quality of tobacco, which is strongly related to the variations of chemical components. In order to clarify the relationship between the changes of tobacco color and chemical compone...
Visible and Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (VNIR-HSI) combined with machine learning has shown its effectiveness in various detection applications. Specifically, the quality of cigar tobacco leaves undergoes subtle changes due to environmental d...
Microscopic analyses of cytoskeleton organization are crucial for understanding various cellular activities, including cell proliferation and environmental responses in plants. Traditionally, assessments of cytoskeleton dynamics have been qualitative...
Cigar leaf is a special type of tobacco plant, which is the raw material for producing high-quality cigars. The content and proportion of nicotine and other composite substances of cigar leaves have a crucial impact on their quality and vary greatly ...
Using deep learning-based image restoration, we achieved high-resolution 4D imaging with minimal photodamage, revealing distinct localization and suggesting Lifeact-RFP-labeled actin microfilaments play a role in initiating cell plate formation. Phra...
