SNP MARKERS TIGHTLY LINKED TO ROOT KNOT NEMATODE RESISTANCE IN GRAPEVINE (VITIS CINEREA) IDENTIFIED BY A GENOTYPING-BY-SEQUENCING APPROACH FOLLOWED BY SEQUENOM MASSARRAY VALIDATION.

SNP markers tightly linked to root knot nematode resistance in grapevine (Vitis cinerea) identified by a genotyping-by-sequencing approach followed by Sequenom MassARRAY validation.

Plant parasitic nematodes, including root knot nematode Meloidogyne species, cause extensive damage to agriculture and horticultural crops.As Vitis vinifera cultivars are susceptible to root knot nematode parasitism, rootstocks resistant to these soil pests provide a sustainable approach to maintain grapevine production.Currently, most of the comme

Transfer learning from inorganic materials to ivory detection

Abstract This paper describes the automatic identification of ivory using Raman spectroscopy data and deep neural network (DNN) models pre-trained on open-source data from inorganic minerals.The proposed approach uses transfer learning (TL) from foundation models trained on a larger inorganic (minerals) spectroscopy dataset (MLROD).The results demo
