Assessment of energy cane bagasse-derived cellulosic microfiber hydrogels on the growth of potted chili peppers.

Energy cane ( spp.) bagasse, a type of biomass waste, is often underutilized, burned, or left to dispose of itself. This research aimed to evaluate the potential of converting this bagasse into high-value cellulosic microfiber hydrogels (CMH) for water conservation and potted chili () plant growth.

Prediction of organogenesis of using artificial neural networks and regression models.

This study was conducted to determine if artificial neural networks (ANN) can be used to accurately predict organogenesis of compared with statistical regression. Prediction models were developed for shoot and root organogenesis (outputs) on two culture media (Murashige and Skoog and Gamborg B5) affected by two explant types (leaf and node) and two cytokinins (6-Benzylaminopurine and Thidiazuron at 1.0, 5.
