Simultaneous fruit detection and size estimation using multitask deep neural networks
(Elsevier, 2023-08-06)
The measurement of fruit size is of great interest to estimate the yield and predict the harvest resources in advance. This work proposes a novel technique for in-field apple detection and measurement ...
An insect’s energy bar: the potential role of plant guttation on biological control
(Elsevier, 2023-11-07)
Plant guttation is an exudation fluid composed of xylem and phloem sap secreted at the margins of leaves of many agricultural crops. Although plant guttation is a widespread phenomenon, its effect on ...
A phased genome of the highly heterozygous ‘Texas’ almond uncovers patterns of allele-specific expression linked to heterozygous structural variants
(Oxford University Press, 2024-04-09)
The vast majority of traditional almond varieties are self-incompatible, and the level of variability of the species is very high, resulting in a high-heterozygosity genome. Therefore, information on ...
An efficient CRISPR-Cas9 enrichment sequencing strategy for characterizing complex and highly duplicated genomic regions. A case study in the Prunus salicina LG3-MYB10 genes cluster
(BMC, 2022-08-27)
Background: Genome complexity is largely linked to diversifcation and crop innovation. Examples of regions with duplicated genes with relevant roles in agricultural traits are found in many crops. In ...
AmodalAppleSize_RGB-D dataset: RGB-D images of apple trees annotated with modal and amodal segmentation masks for fruit detection, visibility and size estimation
(Elsevier, 2023-12-30)
The present dataset comprises a collection of RGB-D apple tree images that can be used to train and test computer vision-based fruit detection and sizing methods. This dataset encompasses two distinct ...
Bona fide atypical scrapie faithfully reproduced for the first time in a rodent model
(BMC, 2022-12-13)
Atypical Scrapie, which is not linked to epidemics, is assumed to be an idiopathic spontaneous prion disease in small ruminants. Therefore, its occurrence is unlikely to be controlled through selective ...
Living on the Edge: Demography of the Slender-Billed Gull in the Western Mediterranean
(Public Library of Science, 2014-03-24)
Small and peripheral populations are typically vulnerable to local extinction processes but important for the metapopulation dynamics of species. The Slender-billed gull (Chroicocephalus genei) is a ...
Differential kinetics of splenic CD169+ macrophage death is one underlying cause of virus infection fate regulation
(Springer Nature, 2023-12-18)
Acute infection and chronic infection are the two most common fates of pathogenic virus infections. While several factors that
contribute to these fates are described, the critical control points and ...
Investigating isotopic markers for hazelnut geographical authentication: Promising variables and potential applications
(Elsevier, 2024-03-23)
Hazelnuts' features and price are influenced by their geographical origin, making them susceptible to fraud,
especially counterfeit claims regarding their provenance. Stable isotope analysis is a ...
Exploring large-scale gene coexpression networks in peach (Prunus persica L.): a new tool for predicting gene function
(Oxford University Press, 2024-01-02)
Peach is a model for Prunus genetics and genomics, however, identifying and validating genes associated to peach breeding traits is a
complex task. A gene coexpression network (GCN) capable of capturing ...
