Plants exhibit extensive environment-dependent intraspecific metabolic variation, which likely plays a role in determining variation in whole plant phenotypes. However, much of the work seeking to use natural variation to link genes and transcript's ...
Continuous access to up-to-date food price data is crucial for monitoring food security and responding swiftly to emerging risks. However, in many food-insecure countries, price data is often delayed, lacks spatial detail, or is unavailable during cr...
Efficient and reliable corn ( L.) yield prediction is important for varietal selection by plant breeders and management decision-making by growers. Unlike prior studies that focus mainly on county-level or controlled laboratory-scale areas, this stud...

Maize anthers emerge from male-only florets, a process that involves complex genetic programming and is affected by environmental factors. Quantifying anther exertion provides a key indicator of male fertility; however, traditional manual scoring met...
Understanding phenotypic plasticity in maize (Zea mays L.) is a current grand challenge for continued crop improvement. Measuring the interactive effects of genetics, environmental factors, and management practices (GxExM) on crop performance is time...
Seed viability, a key indicator for quality assessment, directly impacts the emergence of field seedlings. The existing nondestructive testing model for maize seed vitality based on naturally aged seeds and predominantly relying on single-modal data ...
Genotype, environment, and genotype-by-environment (G×E) interactions play a critical role in shaping crop phenotypes. Here, a large-scale, multi-environment hybrid maize dataset is used to construct and validate an automated machine learning framewo...
Classical genomic prediction approaches rely on statistical associations between traits and markers rather than their biological significance. Biologically informed selection of genomic regions can help prioritize polymorphisms by considering underly...
Accurate prediction of maize yields is crucial for effective crop management. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning framework (CNNAtBiGRU) for estimating maize yield, which is applied to typical black soil areas in Northeast China. This fra...
Leaf diseases in Zea mays crops have a significant impact on both the calibre and volume of maize yield, eventually impacting the market. Prior detection of the intensity of an infection would enable the efficient allocation of treatment resources an...
