Attention to the natural environment is equivalent to observing the space in which we live. Plant roots, which are important organs of plants, require our close attention. The method of detecting root system without damaging plants has gradually beco...
BACKGROUND: Functional enrichment of genes and pathways based on Gene Ontology (GO) has been widely used to describe the results of various -omics analyses. GO terms statistically overrepresented within a set of a large number of genes are typically ...
In agricultural robotics, a unique challenge exists in the automated planting of bulbous plants: the estimation of the bulb's growth direction. To date, no existing work addresses this challenge. Therefore, we propose the first robotic vision framewo...
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...
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a forage and amenity grass species widely cultivated in temperate regions worldwide. As such, perennial ryegrass populations are exposed to a range of environmental conditions and stresses on a seasonal basis an...

Heavy metals and emerging engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are two current environmental concerns that have attracted considerable attention. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) are now used in a plethora of industrial products, while cadmium (Cd) is ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Liquorice is the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, which is a popular food in Europe and China that has previously shown benefits for skeletal fatigue and nutrient metabolism. However, the mechanism and active ingredients remain lar...
Plants use many strategies to move efficiently in soil, such as growth from the tip, tropic movements, and morphological changes. In this paper, we propose a method to translate morphological features of Zea mays roots into a new design of soft robot...
OBJECTIVE: Within the field of biorobotics, an emerging branch is plant-inspired robotics. Some effort exists in particular towards the production of digging robots that mimic roots; for these, a deeper comprehension of the role of root tip geometry ...
