Detecting the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which abscisic acid (ABA) regulates the consistency of sweet cherry fruit maturity

Scientific Reports
In the cultivation and production of sweet cherry, the cost of picking fruit is high due to inconsistency in the maturation period, which has affected the development of the cherry industry.

Fruit size QTL indentification and the prediction of parental QTL genotypes and breeding values in multiple pedigreed populations of sweet cherry

, 2013
Large fruit size is a critical trait for any new sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivar, as it is directly related to grower profitability. Therefore, determining the genetic control of fruit size in relevant breeding germplasm is a high priority.

An Attention‐Assisted Machine Learning System for Deep Microorganism Image Classification

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An attention‐assisted DenseNet201 framework was developed for the classification of eight microorganism classes from microscopic images. The proposed model improved classification performance and achieved an accuracy of 87.38%. Advances in microbiology and environmental health fundamentally depend on precise and timely microorganism identification ...

The Genetics and Breeding of Fruit Trees

Journal of the American Pomological Society, 1953
The following quotation is the author's summary taken from a paper presented by M. B. Crane in 1952 at the 13th International Horticultural Congress in London: "Breeding experiments with fruit trees have been mainly carried out in the search for new forms of commercial value, and usually the families raised for this purpose have been small.

Exploration of new sources of sweet cherry genetic diversity prospected in Azerbaijan, Caucasus, supposed center of origin of Prunus avium L.

Sweet cherry breeding is an active field of research with an increasing number of private and public actors involved. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of the majority of parental materials used is rather narrow.

Exploiting Ferroelectric and Spintronic Dynamics for Neural Network Computation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric and spintronic devices, relying on the control of polarization and magnetization, offer intrinsically fast, durable, energy‐efficient, and low‐latency building blocks for analog in‐memory computing. The hysteretic dynamics of an order parameter are leveraged to provide nonvolatile, multistate memory and nonlinear switching. Brain‐inspired
