Autonomous Sweet Pepper Harvesting for Protected Cropping Systems [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, vol. 2, no. 2, pp. 872-879, April 2017. doi: 10.1109/LRA.2017.2655622, 2017
In this letter, we present a new robotic harvester (Harvey) that can autonomously harvest sweet pepper in protected cropping environments. Our approach combines effective vision algorithms with a novel end-effector design to enable successful harvesting of sweet peppers.

Unprecedented bacterial community richness in soybean nodules vary with cultivar and water status

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2019
Soybean (Glycine max) and other legumes are key crops grown around the world, providing protein and nutrients to a growing population, in a way that is more sustainable than most other cropping systems. Diazotrophs inhabiting root nodules provide soybean

Impact of rice cultivar and organ on elemental composition of phytoliths and the release of bio-available silicon

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The continental bio-cycling of silicon (Si) plays a key role in global Si cycle and as such partly controls global carbon (C) budget through nutrition of marine and terrestrial biota, accumulation of phytolith-occluded organic carbon (PhytOC) and ...

Leaf Cultivar Identification via Prototype-enhanced Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Plant leaf identification is crucial for biodiversity protection and conservation and has gradually attracted the attention of academia in recent years. Due to the high similarity among different varieties, leaf cultivar recognition is also considered to be an ultra-fine-grained visual classification (UFGVC) task, which is facing a huge challenge.

Control of Septoria tritici blotch by winter wheat cultivar mixtures: Meta-analysis of 19 years of cultivar trials

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2019
Wheat is the most commonly grown cereal crop in Europe and in major parts the most yield limiting disease is Septoria tritici blotch (STB). Currently, the control of the disease depends on cultivar resistance and significant input of fungicides.

Enhanced Drought Stress Tolerance by the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis in a Drought-Sensitive Maize Cultivar Is Related to a Broader and Differential Regulation of Host Plant Aquaporins than in a Drought-Tolerant Cultivar

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis has been shown to improve maize tolerance to different drought stress scenarios by regulating a wide range of host plants aquaporins.

Multi-resolution Outlier Pooling for Sorghum Classification [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Automated high throughput plant phenotyping involves leveraging sensors, such as RGB, thermal and hyperspectral cameras (among others), to make large scale and rapid measurements of the physical properties of plants for the purpose of better understanding the difference between crops and facilitating rapid plant breeding programs. One of the most basic
