DeepSort: deep convolutional networks for sorting haploid maize seeds.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Maize is a leading crop in the modern agricultural industry that accounts for more than 40% grain production worldwide. THe double haploid technique that uses fewer breeding generations for generating a maize line has accelerated the pace...

Identification of coffee bean varieties using hyperspectral imaging: influence of preprocessing methods and pixel-wise spectra analysis.

Scientific reports
Hyperspectral imaging was used to identify and to visualize the coffee bean varieties. Spectral preprocessing of pixel-wise spectra was conducted by different methods, including moving average smoothing (MA), wavelet transform (WT) and empirical mode...

Leaching and sorption of neonicotinoid insecticides and fungicides from seed coatings.

Journal of environmental science and health. Part. B, Pesticides, food contaminants, and agricultural wastes
Seed coatings are a treatment used on a variety of crops to improve production and offer protection against pests and fungal outbreaks. The leaching of the active ingredients associated with the seed coatings and the sorption to soil was evaluated un...

Analysis of ibuprofen and its main metabolites in roots, shoots, and seeds of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) using liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry: uptake, metabolism, and translocation.

Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry
A liquid chromatography quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QqTOF-MS/MS) method was developed for simultaneous quantitative analysis of ibuprofen (IBU), 1- and 2-hydroxyibuprofen (1-OH IBU and 2-OH IBU), and carboxyibuprofen (CBX IBU) whil...

Assessment of anthelmintic activity and bio-guided chemical analysis of Persea americana seed extracts.

Veterinary parasitology
The aim of this study was to characterize the extracts and fractions of Persea americana Mill. (Avocado) seeds and to determine the composition and the in vitro anthelmintic activity against third-stage larvae (L3) of Haemonchus contortus. The fresh ...

Microwave-assisted digestion using diluted HNO and HO for macro and microelements determination in guarana samples by ICP OES.

Food chemistry
A microwave-assisted digestion procedure using diluted HNO and HO was developed for multi-element determination in guarana samples by ICP OES. Optimization step was performed employing a mixture design with pseudocomponents using HNO, HO and HO. The ...

Extraction optimization, purification and characterization of polysaccharides from the seed coat of black soybean.

PloS one
In this study, the extraction of water-soluble polysaccharides from the seed coat of black soybean (BSCP) was investigated and optimized. A response surface methodology based on a Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the extraction condition...

In vitro activity of Nigella sativa against antibiotic resistant Salmonella enterica.

Environmental toxicology and pharmacology
Salmonellosis is a major food-borne disease worldwide and antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella is a public health problem. Phytochemicals are alternative therapeutics to treat antibiotic resistant Salmonella. Biochemically identified Salmonella ent...

Production and characterization of a biosurfactant produced by Streptomyces sp. DPUA 1559 isolated from lichens of the Amazon region.

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas
Surfactants are amphipathic compounds containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, capable to lower the surface or interfacial tension. Considering the advantages of the use of biosurfactants produced by microorganisms, the aim of this paper w...
