Enhancing corn industry sustainability through deep learning hybrid models for price volatility forecasting.

PloS one
The fluctuations in corn prices not only increase uncertainty in the market but also affect farmers' planting decisions and income stability, while also impeding crucial investments in sustainable agricultural practices. Collectively, these factors j...

Enabling malic acid production from corn-stover hydrolysate in Lipomyces starkeyi via metabolic engineering and bioprocess optimization.

Microbial cell factories
BACKGROUND: Lipomyces starkeyi is an oleaginous yeast with a native metabolism well-suited for production of lipids and biofuels from complex lignocellulosic and waste feedstocks. Recent advances in genetic engineering tools have facilitated the deve...

Transcripts and genomic intervals associated with variation in metabolite abundance in maize leaves under field conditions.

BMC genomics
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 ...

Maize yield estimation in Northeast China's black soil region using a deep learning model with attention mechanism and remote sensing.

Scientific reports
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...

AI-imputed and crowdsourced price data show strong agreement with traditional price surveys in data-scarce environments.

PloS one
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...

Forewarning the seasonal dynamics of corn leafhopper and mollicutes through neural networks.

International journal of biometeorology
The corn leafhopper (CL), Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), has become the most important corn pest in Brazil and other corn-producing countries. This highly efficient insect vector transmits corn stunting pathogens result...

Breaking the field phenotyping bottleneck in maize with autonomous robots.

Communications biology
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...

Leveraging Automated Machine Learning for Environmental Data-Driven Genetic Analysis and Genomic Prediction in Maize Hybrids.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
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...

Integrating Remote Sensing and Soil Features for Enhanced Machine Learning-Based Corn Yield Prediction in the Southern US.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Optimizing Corn Tar Spot Measurement: A Deep Learning Approach Using Red-Green-Blue Imaging and the Stromata Contour Detection Algorithm for Leaf-Level Disease Severity Analysis.

Plant disease
Visual detection of stromata (brown-black, elevated fungal fruiting bodies) is the primary method for quantifying tar spot early in the season because these structures are definitive signs of the disease and essential for effective disease monitoring...
