A paper authored by Sano et al., a Project Researcher, has been published! This research has made it possible to measure mature tree phenology at the individual scale by combining drones with multispectral cameras and laser scanners.
Our PhD student Yuto Imachi’s paper has been published.
We developed a method to predict potato yield before harvest by combining drone imagery, machine learning, and growth curve modeling.
Mochizuki et al published a paper on detecting selection signatures in apple breeding using pedigree and genomic data. Analysis of 185 cultivars found biased regions linked to key fruit traits and stress/development genes, showing selection can be detected without phenotype data.
Yoshioka et al. published a paper on Reciprocal BLUP, a multi-omics framework that selects informative features from genomic, metabolomic, and rhizosphere microbiome data. Using 198 soybean accessions, it improves phenotype prediction and plant–microbe insight.
Yoshioka et al. published a paper on a two-step phenotype prediction model integrating genomic, rhizosphere microbiome, and metabolome data. Using proxy traits, it improves accuracy without costly metabolome measurements and advances understanding of plant–microbiome interaction.
A paper authored by first-year PhD student Kimura et al. has been published. It shows that growth curves in fruit trees, hard to estimate due to slow growth, can be predicted faster by integrating fragmented longitudinal data, a Bayesian nonlinear model, and genome info.
The University of Tokyo develops I-SVVS, a new tool using stochastic variational inference to reveal key microbe–metabolite links, advancing #agriculture, #medicine and #environmental science.#APRC#ScienceJapan
