One of the world's most widely grown crops is corn. Crop loss due to diseases has a major economic effect, putting the food supply in jeopardy. In many parts of the world, lack of infrastructure still slows disease diagnosis. In this context, effecti...
Inferring phenotypic outcomes from genomic features is both a promise and challenge for systems biology. Using gene expression data to predict phenotypic outcomes, and functionally validating the genes with predictive powers are two challenges we add...
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate many biological processes by interacting with corresponding RNA-binding proteins. The identification of lncRNA-protein Interactions (LPIs) is significantly important to well characterize the biological functions...
LightGBM is an ensemble model of decision trees for classification and regression prediction. We demonstrate its utility in genomic selection-assisted breeding with a large dataset of inbred and hybrid maize lines. LightGBM exhibits superior performa...

Moisture content during nixtamalization can be accurately predicted from NIR spectroscopy when coupled with a support vector machine (SVM) model, is strongly modulated by the environment, and has a complex genetic architecture. Lack of high-throughpu...
Technology has been promoting a great transformation in farming. The introduction of robotics; the use of sensors in the field; and the advances in computer vision; allow new systems to be developed to assist processes, such as phenotyping, of crop's...

Exploring the characteristics and types of heavy metal pollution in crops has important implications for food security and human health. In this study, a method for distinguishing heavy metal-polluted elements in corn leaves was proposed. Based on th...
This study investigates whether coupling crop modeling and machine learning (ML) improves corn yield predictions in the US Corn Belt. The main objectives are to explore whether a hybrid approach (crop modeling + ML) would result in better predictions...
