Scaling up soybean breeding: Satellite imagery delivers accurate maturity estimation across plot sizes

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Accurate and scalable phenotyping is essential for accelerating genetic gain in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) breeding programs. Traditional methods for estimating physiological maturity are labor‐intensive and prone to subjectivity, limiting throughput and consistency. This study evaluates the potential of high‐resolution satellite imagery

Experimental Investigation of Electromagnetic Interference Effects on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Video Transmission Quality

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
The experiment demonstrates that increasing received interference power significantly degrades video transmission quality, resulting in blurring, shaking, freezing, buffering and the complete disappearance of the video feed. ABSTRACT Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are more widely used in industry and are reliant on stable real‐time communication and ...
