Background Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) disease is a significant constraint for maize producers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The disease decimates the maize crop, in some cases, causing total crop failure with far-reaching impacts on regional food ...

Fusarium head blight detection, spikelet estimation, and severity assessment in wheat using 3D convolutional neural networks [PDF]
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most significant diseases affecting wheat and other small grain cereals worldwide. The development of resistant varieties requires the laborious task of field and greenhouse phenotyping. The applications considered in this work are the automated detection of FHB disease symptoms expressed on a wheat plant, the ...

Protein‐Like Polymers Targeting Keap1/Nrf2 as Therapeutics for Myocardial Infarction
We describe a Keap1 targeting protein‐like polymer (PLP) which activates Nrf2, an important cytoprotective transcription factor for relieving myocardial infarction‐induced oxidative stress. This PLP increases cell survival in vitro in multiple relevant cardiac cell types and elicits pro‐reparative responses, improving cardiac function in a preclinical ...

Abstract Feed effectors have been suggested to improve the efficiency of plant‐based shrimp diets by increasing attractability and palatability. This research trial aimed to expand upon previous Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) research involving plant‐based diets, feed effectors and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in a laboratory setting ...

Comparing various sulfur sources for soybean grown on an acid Oxisol in Brazil
Abstract A greenhouse experiment and a 2‐yr field trial were conducted to compare various S sources for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grown on an acid Oxisol in Brazil. In the greenhouse, the sources included ammonium sulfate (AMS), monoammonium phosphate with a S ratio = 50:50 of AMS/elemental S (ES) – (AMS + ES), and ES + bentonite containing 90 ...

Exotic alleles contribute to heat tolerance in wheat under field conditions
Comparative phenotyping and genome-wide association study in a panel of 149 wheat genotypes reveal alleles associated with heat tolerance, which could be useful in future breeding programmes for wheat cultivars.

A Multi-Scale Feature Extraction and Fusion Deep Learning Method for Classification of Wheat Diseases [PDF]
Wheat is an important source of dietary fiber and protein that is negatively impacted by a number of risks to its growth. The difficulty of identifying and classifying wheat diseases is discussed with an emphasis on wheat loose smut, leaf rust, and crown and root rot.
