Tailoring convolutional neural networks for custom botanical data
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 1, January-February 2025.Abstract Premise Automated disease, weed, and crop classification with computer vision will be invaluable in the future of agriculture. However, existing model architectures like ResNet, EfficientNet, and ConvNeXt often underperform on smaller, specialised datasets typical of such projects.

Natural SNP Variation in GbOSM1 Promotor Enhances Verticillium Wilt Resistance in Cotton
Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 45, December 4, 2024.Osmotin OSM1 confers Verticillium wilt (VW) resistance by hydrolyzing cell wall polysaccharides of Verticillium dahliae (Vd) and activating plant immune pathways. A natural A/G variation in the OSM1 promoter produces two haplotypes of CCAAT/ CCGAT, and causes the differential transcription of OSM1. In susceptible cotton accessions, transcription factor

Bioinformatic analysis of glutathione peroxidase family from theobroma cacao and gene expression during Moniliophthora perniciosa infection.[Poster-B185] [PDF]
, 2018 Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are enzymes which are part of the antioxidant system of the cell. Mammalian GPXs are known as selenoproteins because containing the selenocysteine (Sec) amino acid. In plants, these proteins are less known.

Pore‐forming aegerolysin and MACPF proteins in extremotolerant or extremophilic fungi
IUBMB Life, Volume 76, Issue 11, Page 922-936, November 2024.Abstract Aegerolysin proteins are involved in various interactions by recognising a molecular receptor in the target organism. The formation of pores in combination with larger, non‐aegerolysin‐like protein partners (such as membrane attack complex/perforin proteins [MACPFs]) is one of the possible responses in the presumed competitive exclusion of ...

MLO and SBP genes from Theobroma cacao are differencially expressed between resistent and suscetible cacao plants infected with Moniliophthora perniciosa [PDF]
, 2013 Among sequences previously identified as potentially envolved in the resistance versus susceptibility of Theobroma cacao to the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, the MLO (Mildew resistance lócus O) and the SBP (selenium binding protein) genes were found.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 1367-1381, February 2024.Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa quality plays a pivotal role in establishing denominations of origin, with genotypes, geography, climate and soil conditions being key variables. However, these factors have not been comprehensively explored in defining cacao denominations of origin.
