Phenotypic detection of flax plants based on improved Flax-YOLOv5.

Accurate detection and counting of flax plant organs are crucial for obtaining phenotypic data and are the cornerstone of flax variety selection and management strategies. In this study, a Flax-YOLOv5 model is proposed for obtaining flax plant phenotypic data. Based on the solid foundation of the original YOLOv5x feature extraction network, the network structure was extended to include the BiFormer module, which seamlessly integrates bi-directional encoders and converters, enabling it to focus on key features in an adaptive query manner.

Modeling of flaxseed protein, oil content, linoleic acid, and lignan content prediction based on hyperspectral imaging.

Protein, oil content, linoleic acid, and lignan are several key indicators for evaluating the quality of flaxseed. In order to optimize the testing methods for flaxseed's nutritional quality and enhance the efficiency of screening high-quality flax germplasm resources, we selected 30 flaxseed species widely cultivated in Northwest China as the subjects of our study. Firstly, we gathered hyperspectral information regarding the seeds, along with data on protein, oil content, linoleic acid, and lignan, and utilized the SPXY algorithm to classify the sample set.

Phosphorus and naphthalene acetic acid increased the seed yield by regulating carbon and nitrogen assimilation of flax.

To evaluate the impact of phosphorus (P) combined with exogenous NAA on flax yield, enhance flax P utilization efficiency and productivity, minimize resource inputs and mitigate negative environmental and human effects. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend the physiological and biochemical responses of flax to P and naphthylacetic acid (NAA) in order to guide future agronomic management strategies for increasing seed yield. A randomized complete block design trial was conducted under semi-arid conditions in Northwest China, using a factorial split-plot to investigate the effects of three P (0, 67.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Auxin Response Factor Gene Family in .

Auxin response factors (ARFs) are critical components of the auxin signaling pathway, and are involved in diverse plant biological processes. However, genes have not been investigated in flax ( L.), an important oilseed and fiber crop.

Phenotypic analysis of Longya-10 × pale flax hybrid progeny and identification of candidate genes regulating prostrate/erect growth in flax plants.

Flax is a dual-purpose crop that is important for oil and fiber production. The growth habit is one of the crucial targets of selection during flax domestication. Wild hybridization between cultivated flax and wild flax can produce superior germplasms for flax breeding and facilitate the study of the genetic mechanism underlying agronomically important traits.

Overexpression of WRINKLED1 improves the weight and oil content in seeds of flax ( L.).

Seeds of flax ( L.) are highly rich in both oil and linolenic acid (LIN). It is crucial for flax agricultural production to identify positive regulators of fatty acid biosynthesis.

Genomic Comparison and Population Diversity Analysis Provide Insights into the Domestication and Improvement of Flax.

Flax has been cultivated for its oil and fiber for thousands of years. However, it remains unclear how the modifications of agronomic traits occurred on the genetic level during flax cultivation. In this study, we conducted genome-wide variation analyses on multiple accessions of oil-use, fiber-use, landraces, and pale flax to identify the genomic variations during flax cultivation.

A reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay to rapidly diagnose foot-and-mouth disease virus C.

A reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed to rapidly detect foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype C (FMDV C). By testing 10-fold serial dilutions of FMDV C samples, sensitivity of the FMDV C RT-LAMP was found to be 10 times higher than that of conventional reverse transcription- PCR (RT-PCR). No cross-reactivity with A, Asia 1, or O FMDV or swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV) indicated that FMDV C RT-LAMP may be an exciting novel method for detecting FMDV C.
