Plant genomic selection models to be created by Artificial Intelligence
Publicado em 20 outubro 2022
A new report details how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to create efficient models for genomic selection of sugarcane and forage grass varieties, while also predicting their field performance on the basis of their DNA.
This is the first time a highly efficient genomic selection method based on machine learning has been proposed for polyploid plants – in which cells have more than two complete sets of chromosomes.
The methodology, published in Scientific Reports, improved [...]

Innovative film made from bacterial cellulose scraps could replace plastic in food packaging
Publicado em 16 dezembro 2020Researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil, have developed a film, made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and bacterial cellulose scraps, that can replace plastic in food packaging. The product outperforms film made of HPMC alone. Márcia Regina de Moura Aouada, a co-author of the team’s article, published in the journal Applied Material & Interfaces, said: “We set out to fill the HMPC matrix with bacterial cellulose nanocrystals in order to [...]ver notícia
