Abstract:
... Training of convolutional neural networks for semantic segmentation of fruit tree branches requires accurate pixel-wise labeling which requires large amounts of human effort. The human-in-the-loop method, where a human annotator corrects the outputs of a neural network, reduces labeling effort; however, it requires human intervention for each image. This paper describes an iterative training metho ...

Abstract:
... Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is an evergreen fruit tree species of the Rosaceae, and its unique flowering time greatly hinders its production. To explore the artificial regulation of loquat flowering time, we removed the main inflorescence (by cutting it) to induce reflowering. For different loquat tree cultivars with different stages, the inflorescence was removed by cutting the main flora ...

Abstract:
... The “pawpaw” [Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal] is a deciduous fruit tree native to eastern North America where it is produced at a limited commercial scale. It is particularly interesting due to its tropical flavor and powerful aroma, unique features for a fruit crop adapted to temperate climates. Although the “pawpaw” is still an underutilized fruit crop, it has a clear niche for expansion in regions ...

Abstract:
... Xanthomonas arboricola comprises a number of economically important fruit tree pathogens classified within different pathovars. Dozens of nonpathogenic and taxonomically unvalidated strains are also designated as X. arboricola, leading to a complicated taxonomic status in the species. In this study, we have evaluated the whole-genome resources of all available Xanthomonas spp. strains designated a ...

Abstract:
... Fruits counting is important in management of orchard and plantation since better decision for labor and logistic can be made based on complete and accurate counting of fruits. Computer vision-based fruits counting has been research focus as it’s an automatic way for recognition of dense fruit on the branch. However, complete fruits counting of a whole tree hasn’t hardly been studied. And there is ...

Abstract:
... To solve the problem of orchard environmental perception, a 2D LiDAR sensor was used to scan fruit trees on both sides of a test platform to obtain their position. Firstly, the two-dimensional iterative closest point (2D-ICP) algorithm was used to obtain the complete point cloud data of fruit trees on both sides. Then, combining the lightning connection algorithm (LAPO) and the density-based clust ...

Abstract:
... Fruit tree crops adapt their phenology to seasonality by finely-tuned mechanisms that perceive environmental day-length and chilling to elaborate a diverse and plastic response, with impact on plant survival and fruit production. These plants use the molecular clock and a prolonged succession of epigenetic events, usually involving the participation of MADS-box genes, for respectively sensing chan ...

Abstract:
... Obtaining canopy area, crown width, position, and other information from UAV aerial images and adjusting spray parameters in real-time according to this information is an important way to achieve precise pesticide application in orchards. However, the natural illumination environment in the orchard makes extracting the fruit tree canopy difficult. Hereto, an effective unsupervised image segmentati ...

Abstract:
... Global warming, through affecting the dormancy progression of temperate fruit trees, has a profound impact on bud break, flowering and fruiting performance. This may lead to economic losses in the production of the genus Prunus sp., which cultivation is common in temperate regions worldwide, producing edible drupes such as almond, apricot, cherry, plum, peach and nectarines. To overcome climate ch ...

Abstract:
... Due to its many advantages, dwarfing and dense planting is an important mode of modern fruit tree cultivation. Phenols have been reported to play various roles in the growth regulation of plants. Here, to verify the correlation between chlorogenic acid (CGA) and the growth of pear trees, the CGA content of standard and dwarf pear trees as well as the effect of exogenous CGA upon their growth, were ...

This study reports the release behaviors, enrichment characteristics, contamination level, and health risk of twenty-one elements in biomass, when dry distillation, incomplete combustion, and sufficient combustion. Results indicate that the element concentration in different kinds of biomass varies greatly. Even for the same kind of biomass, concentration in three products of dry distillation, inc ...
