Table grapes are one of the most consumed non-climacteric fruits globally, and practices for their quality socioeconomically important. In this study, effects combined separate applications two plant activators Ortho Silicon (Si, Optysil, 0.5 mL L-1) Ascophyllum nodosum-based seaweed extract (ANE, KelpGreen 2.5 ml were tested by after fruit set 15 days intervals to table cvs. Gök Üzüm Müşküle i...

Diffusion tensor MRI was used to demonstrate in vivo anatomical mapping of brainstem axonal connections. It was possible to identify the corticospinal tract (CST), medial lemniscus, and the superior, medial, and inferior cerebellar peduncles. In addition, the cerebral peduncle could be subparcellated into component tracts, namely, the frontopontine tract, the CST, and the temporo-/parieto-/occi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Carbohydrate temporarily accumulates in wheat stems during the early reproductive growth phase, predominantly as water soluble carbohydrate (WSC), and is subsequently remobilized during grain filling. Starch has also been reported as a minor storage carbohydrate component in wheat stems, but the details are lacking. METHODS The accumulation and localization of starch in wh...

Melon (Cucumis melo) is one of the most important cultivated cucurbits. In this project, genetic variability among 14 accessions melon collected by authors has been studied using 23 anatomical characteristics across 2 consecutive years as well 146 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Combined analysis variance revealed significant effects on genotype and year ? effects. Among examin...

Robotic harvesting of crops has the potential to disrupt current agricultural practices. A key element to enabling robotic harvesting is to safely remove the crop from the plant which often involves locating and cutting the peduncle, the part of the crop that attaches it to the main stem of the plant. In this paper we present a comparative study of two methods for performing peduncle detection....

Abstract For automating the harvesting of bunches tomatoes in a greenhouse, end-effector needs to reach exact cutting point and adaptively adjust pose peduncles. In this paper, method is proposed for peduncle localization estimation. Images captured real time at fixed long-distance are detected using YOLOv4-Tiny detector with precision 92.7% detection speed 0.0091 s per frame, then YOLACT + Net...
