Infrared thermography for plant stress detection in vertical farms: Investigating spatiotemporal variations and exploring solutions via machine learning

This study uses infrared thermography and machine learning to detect plant stress in vertical farms, finding that binary models trained on medial stress levels provide reliable probabilistic stress estimates despite spatiotemporal variations.

Assessing nutritional pigment content and plant health status of green and red leafy vegetables by image analysis: Catching the 'red herring' of plant digital color processing

This study develops digital color analysis models to accurately assess pigment content and plant health in green and red leafy vegetables, showing that certain color features correlate strongly with chlorophyll and anthocyanin levels.

Generating and testing ecological hypotheses at the pondscape with environmental DNA metabarcoding: a case study on a threatened amphibian

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to test ecological hypotheses about the great crested newt's associations with other species and environmental factors across UK ponds.

Characterising maize viruses associated with maize lethal necrosis symptoms in sub Saharan Africa

The paper uses NGS to identify viruses associated with maize lethal necrosis in sub-Saharan Africa, finding SCMV and MYMV as prevalent, with seven new viruses reported.
