A task-adapted structurally reparameterized diverse-branch YOLO network for mulberry leaf disease detection

Mulberry leaf diseases reduce leaf yield and quality, with direct consequences for sericulture. Detecting symptoms in field imagery is challenging because lesions are often small and visually similar across disease types. In this study, a task-adapted YOLOv10-based detector is pr...

Molecular characterization of vitellogenin and its receptor with CRISPR-based sgRNA validation in the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Geyer) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

Abstract Maruca vitrata , the legume pod borer, causes yield losses of up to 80% in grain legumes. Increasing insecticide resistance and environmental concerns necessitate sustainable pest management alternatives. In the present study, the complete vitellogenin (Vg) coding sequen...
