Weedy Rice Conserved Ex Situ Characterized Using Morphological and Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Markers
A clear understanding of genetic diversity in weedy rice is important in improving protocols for its conservation, ex situ. To this end, Asian collections of weedy rice together with accessions of the wild AA genome species Oryza nivara Sharma et Shastry and Oryza rufipogon Griffith, and the cultivated species, Oryza sativa L. were characterized using...
Coffee Leaf Rust Detection Using Convolutional Neural Network
Rust is a severe disease affecting many productive coffee regions. It is caused by a pathogenic fungi that attacks the underside of coffee leaves and it is characterized by the presence of yellow-orange and powdery points. If not treated, rust can cause a drop in coffee production of up to 45%. In this sense, this...
