Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

Pollination Strategies to Improve Fruit Set in Orchards of ‘Manzanilloʼ Olive in a Nontraditional Producing Country, Mexico

HortTechnology, 2019
In countries new to producing ‘Manzanillo’ olive trees (Olea europaea), free cross-pollination is often insufficient to obtain high levels of fruit set. An appropriate pollination design is therefore essential to ensure a timely, abundant, and compatible

Structural and Functional Characterization of EXPO‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Plants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, 3D electron tomography (ET), cryo‐ET, and immunogold transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are employed to characterize plant extracellular vesicles (EVs) under physiological conditions. EVs are classified into three distinct categories according to their size, content, and molecular‐marker profiles. Furthermore, Exo70E2‐positive medium

Main pollinators of haskap (Lonicera caerulea: Caprifoliaceae) and the effect of different controlled methods of pollination on fruit set [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture
The fruit set of haskap is dependent on optimal pollination. Thus, the focus of this study was the effect of pollination in haskap (varieties Viola, Gerda, and Sinnaja ptica). The study aimed to verify the impact of different pollination methods on fruit

Chromatin Topology Reconfiguration Orchestrates Thermotolerant Male Fertility via GhAL5 in Cotton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates cotton’s high‐temperature (HT) response using multi‑omics. Dynamic 3D genome changes drive expression bias affecting male fertility. The tolerant line shows controlled chromatin dynamics, while the sensitive line exhibits overactivation.
