An Effective Approach for Recognition of Crop Diseases Using Advanced Image Processing and YOLOv8
The performance of processed images is evaluated using mean‐squared‐error and peak‐signal‐to‐noise ratio. After the processing phase, an advanced deep learning model, YOLOv8, was used for the segmentation and classification of crop diseases. Using a large dataset comprising 32 diseases to train our model, we implemented Transfer Learning using YOLOv8 ...

Abstract Background We isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from Japanese traditional fermented foods and vegetables, and screened for exopolysaccharide (EPS)‐producing strains. The Leuconostoc citreum KD3 was isolated as a strain that produces an α‐glucan (KD3‐dextran) with α‐(1 → 6)‐linked main chain with a considerable amount of α‐(1 → 2) branches ...
