Enhancing Sugarcane Phenotyping: UAV-Based Multispectral Data and Machine Learning for Efficient Evaluation of Orange and Brown Rust Resistance
This study addresses the challenge of efficiently evaluating sugarcane varieties for resistance to orange and brown rust using high-throughput phenotyping methods. Traditional visual evaluations by specialists are slow and subjective, hindering the development of desirable traits. Leveraging UAV-based multispectral data and machine learning algorithms, the research correlated spectral information with infection scores. The study successfully […]
Solar Grazing in Michigan: Challenges, Opportunities, and the Path to Sustainable Energy
“Solar grazing” involves using livestock on solar arrays to maintain vegetation. In Michigan, this practice, part of agrivoltaics, aims to benefit both farmers and solar companies. However, challenges include logistics, costs, and opposition to using farmland for solar projects. Some see solar as a way for farmers to secure income, but local governance and zoning […]
Genomic Insights for Wheat: Linkage and Association Mapping Identify Regions for Yield and Drought Tolerance Traits
This study utilized combined linkage analysis and association mapping in wheat to identify genomic regions associated with both yield and drought tolerance. Evaluating 304 accessions under well-watered and rain-fed water stress conditions, the research pinpointed 11 co-localized genomic regions related to yield traits and drought response values. Notably, a region on chromosome 2D associated with […]
