Selenium-mediated modulation of physiological and biochemical traits in chili (Capsicum annuum L.)

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for both animal and plants having antioxidant and antivirus activities. It is not required in large amount, but its small amount can improve growth and yield. The higher levels of Se in the food depends directly on its amount present in the s...

Unified multi-task YOLO-Lite framework for road defect detection and image-level classification with edge-optimized quantization and explainable visual inference

Automated road defect assessment requires models that can accurately localize pavement damage, identify the overall defect category, and operate with limited computational resources. However, most existing approaches address object-level detection and image-level classification u...

Leading Towards a Translation Readiness Framework: A Systematic Review of Deep Learning Approaches for Eye Disease Diagnosis

Background: Artificial intelligence has significantly improved the diagnosis of retinal diseases using fundus and optical coherence tomography. However, the pathway between the accuracy of the models and their clinical application is still unclear. Objective: The objective of thi...

Early-maturing, high-yielding M5 mutant lines of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata ) derived from gamma irradiation exhibit enhanced seed protein and mineral composition: implications for nutritional biofortification

PURPOSE: Co gamma irradiation (452 Gy) of the Ghanaian cowpea cultivar Hansadua. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seeds harvested from a randomized complete block design (three replications) at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, were analyzed for proximate composition (protein, fat, fibe...
