Estimating Black Oat Biomass Using Digital Surface Models and a Vegetation Index Derived from RGB-Based Aerial Images
Responsible for food production and industry inputs, agriculture needs to adapt to worldwide increasing demands and environmental requirements.In this scenario, black oat has gained environmental and economic importance since it can be used in no-tillage systems, green manure, or animal feed supplementation.Despite its importance, few studies have
Comparative genomics of plant-associated Pseudomonas spp.: insights into diversity and inheritance of traits involved in multitrophic interactions.
We provide here a comparative genome analysis of ten strains within the Pseudomonas fluorescens group including seven new genomic sequences.These strains exhibit a diverse spectrum of traits involved in biological control and other multitrophic interactions with plants, microbes, and insects.Multilocus sequence analysis placed the strains in three
Robustifying and simplifying high-dimensional regression with applications to yearly stock return and telematics data
Abstract The availability of many variables with predictive power makes their selection in a regression context difficult.This study considers robust and understandable low-dimensional estimators as building blocks to improve Plant Stand overall predictive power by optimally combining these building blocks.Our new algorithm is based on generalized
