Integrated methylome and transcriptome analysis provides insight into DNA methylation-mediated networks in sexual dimorphism of Vernicia montana

Abstract Background Sexual dimorphism is fundamental to reproduction in dioecious plants and is regulated by both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. DNA methylation is a central epigenetic mark known to influence phenotypic variation in pla...

The epidemiology of theileriosis in Africa

The title of this book does not adequately reflect the comprehensive treatment of a complex and important parasitic disease of domestic cattle. Despite the passing of 100 years, East Coast fever (ECF) remains an economically and environment...

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat/Cas12a Mediated Multiplexable and Portable Detection Platform for GII Genotype Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea Virus Rapid Diagnosis

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) is a member of the genus Alphacoronavirus in the family Coronaviridae. It causes acute watery diarrhoea and vomiting in piglets with high a mortality rate. Currently, the GII genotype, PEDV, possesses...

First seroprevalence survey of bovine anaplasmosis: an emerging tick-borne disease in commercial livestock and dairy farms in Bangladesh

Bovine anaplasmosis is an infectious, tick-borne disease caused by Anaplasma species, which is accountable for huge economic loss in dairy industry. This study was aimed to determine the seroprevalence of bovine anaplasmosis on randomly sel...

Research Progress of Citrus Melanose

Citrus melanose consists of a series of plant diseases caused by the fungal species of the genus Diaporthe. It has been reported with over 30 Diaporthe species on citrus, including several important fungal pathogens, endophytes, saprophytes...

YOLOv11n-GrapeLite: A Lightweight Multi-Variety Grape Recognition Model

To address the challenges of rapid and accurate grape variety identification in natural orchard environments, along with the demand for efficient deployment on mobile devices, we propose in this paper YOLOv11n-GrapeLite, a lightweight model...

Boosting precision crop protection towards agriculture 5.0 via machine learning and emerging technologies: A contextual review

Crop protection is a key activity for the sustainability and feasibility of agriculture in a current context of climate change, which is causing the destabilization of agricultural practices and an increase in the incidence of current or in...

Artificial Neural Networks in Agriculture

Artificial neural networks are one of the most important elements of machine learning and artificial intelligence. They are inspired by the human brain structure and function as if they are based on interconnected nodes in which simple proc...

Consumo de energia, emissões de co2 e a geração de renda e emprego no agronegócio brasileiro: uma análise insumo–produto

The article evaluates the structure of Brazilian agribusiness in their components such as income, employment, sectorial energy consumption, and CO2 emissions. An energy matrix with 56 consumer sectors compatible with the 56 sectors of Brazi...

Modeling Climate Change Issues in Indonesia Based on Media Headlines

Climate change has become a global issue affecting all countries in the last decades. This phenomenon poses a concern to Indonesia as it is one of the climate change’s epicenters. Various studies have shown that climate change can harm mult...

Brassica carinata biomass, yield, and seed chemical composition response to nitrogen rates and timing on southern Coastal Plain soils in the United States

Abstract Brassica carinata (carinata), a non‐food oilseed feedstock mainly used for biofuel, is a relatively new alternative winter crop in the southeastern (SE) United States (US). However, there are limited N rate and N application timing...

From neuromodulation to bone homeostasis: therapeutic targets of nerve growth factor in skeletal diseases

The skeletal system is an important support structure in the human body, and its homeostatic state is highly relevant to the development of a wide range of orthopaedic diseases. The search for key regulatory factors associated with skeletal...
