Application and Algorithm of Ground-Penetrating Radar for Plant Root Detection: A Review.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

GOMCL: a toolkit to cluster, evaluate, and extract non-redundant associations of Gene Ontology-based functions.

BMC bioinformatics
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 ...

A Machine Learning Approach to Growth Direction Finding for Automated Planting of Bulbous Plants.

Scientific reports
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...

Machine Learning Approaches to Improve Three Basic Plant Phenotyping Tasks Using Three-Dimensional Point Clouds.

Plant physiology
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...

Differential gene expression and gene ontologies associated with increasing water-stress in leaf and root transcriptomes of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne).

PloS one
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...

Anabasis aretioides Coss. & Moq. phenolic compounds exhibit in vitro hypoglycemic, antioxidant and antipathogenic properties.

Journal of basic and clinical physiology and pharmacology
Background Based on our previous ethnobotanical survey, the non-investigated Saharan plant Anabasis aretioides Coss. & Moq., growing in the region of Errachidia, was selected for pharmacological investigation. In Moroccan traditional medicine, A. are...

Using artificial neural network to investigate physiological changes and cerium oxide nanoparticles and cadmium uptake by Brassica napus plants.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
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 ...

A study on plant root apex morphology as a model for soft robots moving in soil.

PloS one
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...

Three-dimensional reconstruction of root shape in the moth orchid Phalaenopsis sp.: a biomimicry methodology for robotic applications.

BMC research notes
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 ...
