The Deep Learning-Crop Platform (DL-CRoP): For Species-Level Identification and Nutrient Status of Agricultural Crops.

Precise and timely detection of a crop's nutrient requirement will play a crucial role in assuring optimum plant growth and crop yield. The present study introduces a reliable deep learning platform called "Deep Learning-Crop Platform" (DL-CRoP) for the identification of some commercially grown plants and their nutrient requirements using leaf, stem, and root images using a convolutional neural network (CNN). It extracts intrinsic feature patterns through hierarchical mapping and provides remarkable outcomes in identification tasks.

Exploring novel SNPs and candidate genes associated with seed allometry in L.

Unlabelled: Seed size is an important agronomic trait that indicates seed quality. In legumes, pods with equal and larger seeds remain the first preference of farmers and consumers. Genetic understanding related to seed size including seed allometric traits has been limited in the case of peas.

Physiological conjunction of allelochemicals and desert plants.

Plants exchange signals with other physical and biological entities in their habitat, a form of communication termed allelopathy. The underlying principles of allelopathy and secondary-metabolite production are still poorly understood, especially in desert plants. The coordination and role of secondary metabolites were examined as a cause of allelopathy in plants thriving under arid and semiarid soil conditions.

Role of brassinosteroids in alleviation of phenanthrene-cadmium co-contamination-induced photosynthetic inhibition and oxidative stress in tomato.

Heavy metal pollution often occurs together with organic contaminants. Brassinosteroids (BRs) induce plant tolerance to several abiotic stresses, including phenanthrene (PHE) and cadmium (Cd) stress. However, the role of BRs in PHE+Cd co-contamination-induced stress amelioration is unknown.

Interaction of brassinosteroids and polyamines enhances copper stress tolerance in raphanus sativus.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) and polyamines (PAs) regulate various responses to abiotic stress, but their involvement in the regulation of copper (Cu) homeostasis in plants exposed to toxic levels of Cu is poorly understood. This study provides an analysis of the effects of exogenously applied BRs and PAs on radish (Raphanus sativus) plants exposed to toxic concentrations of Cu. The interaction of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR, an active BR) and spermidine (Spd, an active PA) on gene expression and the physiology of radish plants resulted in enhanced tolerance to Cu stress.

Benefits of brassinosteroid crosstalk.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of phytohormones that regulate various biological processes in plants. Interactions and crosstalk between BRs and other plant hormones control a broad spectrum of physiological and developmental processes. In this review, we examine recent findings which indicate that BR signaling components mainly interact with the signaling elements of other hormones at the transcriptional level.

Chromium stress mitigation by polyamine-brassinosteroid application involves phytohormonal and physiological strategies in Raphanus sativus L.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) and polyamines (PAs) are well-established growth regulators playing key roles in stress management among plants. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of epibrassinolide (EBL, an active BR) and spermidine (Spd, an active PA) on the tolerance of radish to oxidative stress induced by Cr (VI) metal. Our investigation aimed to study the impacts of EBL (10(-9) M) and/or Spd (1 mM) on the biochemical and physiological responses of radish (Raphanus sativus L.

Epibrassinolide ameliorates Cr (VI) stress via influencing the levels of indole-3-acetic acid, abscisic acid, polyamines and antioxidant system of radish seedlings.

The present investigation determined the effects of epibrassinolide (EBL) on the levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), and polyamine (PA) and antioxidant potential of 7-d old Raphanus sativus L. cv. 'Pusa chetki' seedlings grown under Cr (VI) metal stress.
