[学术文献 ] Optimization based on the smart behavior of plants with its engineering applications: Ivy algorithm 进入全文
Knowledge-Based Systems 期刊
This study presents a powerful and new modeling variant of bio-inspired algorithms, namely, the Ivy algorithm (IVYA), drawn from the growth patterns of Ivy plants. The algorithm simulates the coordinated and ordered population growth and the spreading and evolution of Ivy plants. The growth rate of Ivy plants is modeled using a differential equation and a data-intensive experimental process. The algorithm utilizes the knowledge of nearby Ivy plants to determine the direction of growth. Additionally, the algorithm mimics the behavior of Ivy plants in nature by choosing the closest and most vital neighbor for self-improvement. The IVYA's unique characteristics of preserving population diversity and its simplicity and flexibility allow for easy modification and extension, thus enabling researchers and practitioners to explore various modifications and techniques to enhance its performance and capabilities. These are the basic needs in optimizing engineering problems. The IVYA is compared with ten other algorithms on 26 classical test functions, demonstrating superior performance. Furthermore, the effectiveness of IVYA is shown by solving 12 engineering optimization problems and comparing the results with various optimization algorithms. The experimental results highlight the efficacy and competitiveness of the IVYA in solving optimization problems. Consider that the source code of the IVYA is publicly available at https://www.optim-app.com/projects/ivya.
[会议论文 ] Plant Disease Detection Using an Electronic Nose 进入全文
2023 IEEE SENSORS 会议
This paper presents experimental results on differentiating between healthy wheat plants and plants infected with Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) based on sensing the ambient gases in the plant environment using a gravimetric electronic nose enabled by a functionalized capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array and machine learning (ML) algorithms. The CMUT sensor array is functionalized with organic/inorganic materials to capture disease-related volatile signals. The sensor data is processed and analyzed using ML algorithms for accurate plant classification. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in achieving high accuracy for plant disease detection at the end of the 11th day after plant inoculation.
[学术文献 ] Molecular communication network and its applications in crop sciences 进入全文
Planta 期刊
Plant molecular biology and bacterial behaviour research in the future could focus on using genetically engineered bacteria as a sensor, hormonal/disease detector, and target gene expression, as well as establishing a bioluminescence feedback communication system. Signal transduction pathways refer to the use of various communication methods by effectors to elicit a response at the molecular level. Research methodologies such as inter-kingdom signaling have been introduced to study signal transduction and communication pathways, or what we can term plant molecular communication. However, stochastic qualities are inherent in most technologies used to monitor these biological processes. Molecular communication (MC) is a new research topic that uses the natural features of biological organisms to communicate and aims to manipulate their stochastic nature to achieve the desired results. MC is a multidisciplinary research field inspired by the use of molecules to store, spread, and receive information between biological organisms known as "Biological Nanomachines." It has been used to demonstrate how biological entities may be characterised, modelled, and engineered as communication devices in the same manner as traditional communication technologies are. We attempted to link MC and PLANT'S MC in this study and we believe that reasonable combined efforts may be made to use the functional applications of MC for detecting and understanding molecular-level activities such as signaling transduction pathways in crops.
[学术文献 ] Model Application of Entomopathogenic Fungi as Alternatives to Chemical Pesticides: Prospects, Challenges, and Insights for Next-Generation Sustainable Agriculture 进入全文
Frontiers in Plant Science 期刊
In the last few decades, numerous studies have suggested that these species of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) offer far more benefits and have broader ecological functions than hitherto presumed. For instance, aside from their roles as insect killers, it has been well established that they also colonize various host plants and, hence, provide other benefits including plant pathogen antagonism and plant growth promotion and serve as sources of novel bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites, etc. In this light, the potential of EPF as alternatives or perhaps as supplements to chemical pesticides in plant protection is discussed in this review. The paper highlights the numerous benefits associated with endophytic fungal entomopathogen and host plant associations, the mechanisms involved in mediating plant defense against pests and pathogens, and the general limitations to the use of EPF in plant protection. A deeper understanding of these plant host-fungus-insect relationships could help unveil the hidden potentials of fungal endophytes, which would consequently increase the level of acceptance and adoption by users as an integral part of pest management programs and as a suitable alternative to chemical inputs toward sustainable crop production.
[学术文献 ] Plant–plant communication in variety mixtures plays on disease susceptibility and immunity 进入全文
Journal of Experimental Botany 期刊
Intraspecific mixtures are a well-known means to modulate epidemics in crops, but knowledge of the immunity they induce is scarce. Pélissier et al. (2021a) selected pairs of susceptible wheat or rice cultivars cross-modulating disease severity and showed that belowground interactions were involved in communicating infection. Healthy neighbours could initiate significant modulations of transcription of basal immunity genes after pathogen inoculation. No general rule was observed between pathosystems, but the demonstration of the effect of healthy neighbours on disease susceptibility and immunity in adjacent plants is a key finding as we strive to understand health in varietal mixtures.
