We proposed an ensemble convolutional neural network model to identify sgRNA high on-target activity in four crops and we used one-hot encoding and k-mers for sequence encoding. As an important component of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, single-guide RNA (s...
Detection of weeds and crops is the key step for precision spraying using the spraying herbicide robot and precise fertilization for the agriculture machine in the field. On the basis of k-mean clustering image segmentation using color information an...
BACKGROUND: Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.) is the most widely grown and yield crop in the world, as well as an important model organism for fundamental research of the function of genes. The functions of Maize proteins are annotated using the Gene Ont...
Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are increasingly used in precision agriculture to collect crop health related data. UAS can capture data more often and more cost-effectively than sending human scouts into the field. However, in large crop fields, fligh...
BACKGROUND: Gene selection refers to find a small subset of discriminant genes from the gene expression profiles. How to select genes that affect specific phenotypic traits effectively is an important research work in the field of biology. The neural...
Timely monitoring and precise estimation of the leaf chlorophyll contents of maize are crucial for agricultural practices. The scale effects are very important as the calculated vegetation index (VI) were crucial for the quantitative remote sensing. ...
Uptake of seven organic contaminants including bisphenol A, estriol, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), carbamazepine, acetaminophen, and lincomycin by tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), corn (Zea mays L.), and wheat (Triticum aest...
The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is widely used in remote sensing to monitor plant growth and chlorophyll levels. Usually, a multispectral camera (MSC) or hyperspectral camera (HSC) is required to obtain the near-infrared (NIR) and r...
In this paper, response surface methodology (RSM) designs and an artificial neural network (ANN) are used to obtain the optimal conditions for the oxy-combustion of a corn-rape blend. The ignition temperature () and burnout index () were selected as ...
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in regulating cellular biological processes through diverse molecular mechanisms including binding to RNA binding proteins. The majority of plant lncRNAs are functionally uncharacterized, thus, accurate p...
