Computer vision for plant pathology: A review with examples from cocoa agriculture

Autor: Jamie R. Sykes, Katherine J. Denby, Daniel W. Franks

Publikováno v: Applications in Plant Sciences, Vol 12, Iss 2, Pp n/a-n/a (2024)

Abstract Plant pathogens can decimate crops and render the local cultivation of a species unprofitable. In extreme cases this has caused famine and economic collapse. Timing is vital in treating crop diseases, and the use of computer vision for preci

Abstract We evaluate the shared genetic regulation of mRNA molecules, proteins and metabolites derived from whole blood from 3029 human donors. We find abundant allelic heterogeneity, where multiple variants regulate a particular molecular phenotype,
