Recent advances in deep learning have transformed plant pathology by enabling rapid, accurate detection and classification of plant diseases. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), enhanced by transfer ...

Every year, plant diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi contribute to major economic losses. The prompt detection of these diseases is necessary to curb their spread and mitigate ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed an electronic patch that can be applied to the leaves of plants to monitor crops for different pathogens, such as viral and fungal ...

Plant diseases don't stop at a nation's borders and miles of oceans don't prevent their spread, either. That's why plant disease surveillance, improved plant disease detection systems and predictive ...

Researchers have developed a new technique that uses microneedle patches to collect DNA from plant tissues in one minute, rather than the hours needed for conventional techniques. DNA extraction is ...

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Cassava is one of the developing world’s most important crops. Its starchy ...

As a possible basis for providing new insights into adaptive mechanisms and certain physiological processes, examples of similarities between plant and animal defense systems are presented. Some ...
