Phenotypic scoring of canola blackleg severity using machine learning image analysis
Abstract Canola blackleg is a fungal disease that causes significant yield loss and plant death of infected canola (Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L., Brassica juncea L.) fields worldwide. One of the most effective methods for controlling blackleg is through the cultivation of resistant varieties.

Hemp seed counting and morphometric analysis method comparison
Abstract The USDA ARS Hemp Germplasm Laboratory recently acquired over 800 hemp accessions (Cannabis sativa L.). Variation in hemp seed size characteristics is needed to develop quantitative standards to support the transition of hemp grain into a commodity.

Which indicators are most effective at detecting rapid shifts in soil health?
Abstract Farmers are showing a growing interest in soil health. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how and when indicators respond to changes in land management. Measurements of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen can take up to a decade to shift. However, it is unknown how other biotic markers of soil health (i.e., nematode communities) react.

Dietary approaches that decrease ruminal pH may be combined with anti‐methanogenic feed additives that prevent methane formation and consequently increase the dissolved hydrogen concentration. To evaluate the effect of pH and the effect of dissolved hydrogen concentration, two forages (forage rape and ryegrass) were incubated in vitro at two forage ...

The flea beetle's glucosinolate‐based chemical defense fails to protect larvae from nematode infection. However, the defense inhibits the nematode's symbiotic bacteria, thereby potentially impairing nematode reproduction and biocontrol success. Abstract BACKGROUND The efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the biological control of insect ...

Summary Hybridization and polyploidy are major drivers of plant diversification, often accompanied by shifts in gene expression and genome composition. Small RNAs (smRNAs) are thought to influence such genomic changes, particularly through their interactions with transposable elements (TEs).

Uncertainty aversion in Australian regulation of agricultural gene technology [PDF]
There is potential for over-provision of environmental harms and under-provision of environmental benefits associated with GM crops. As a result, strong public regulation is needed to ensure that full social values are considered. However, one reason for

Summary Generation of competent offspring is vital for the prosperity of flowering plants. The pistil not only functions as a conduit for pollen tubes to grow to the ovary but also provides a selective venue for facilitating the growth of compatible pollen tubes and discouraging invaders and incompatible pollen.
