Strategies and Tools for Sequencing and Assembly of Plant Genomes

Abstract: This chapter highlights strategies and tools for sequencing and assembly of plant genomes. It discusses in brief the methods of sequencing technologies (the first, second and third generations), details the approaches of genome assembly (the de novo and reference assembly) and presents the challenges of plant genome assembly.

Disease diagnosis in crops using content based image retrieval

Abstract: Farmers always need satisfactory and easy advice from experts. To get the advice from an expert system, it should have enough knowledge about the domain. Gathering enough knowledge and representing it in a machine understandable format is time consuming and difficult job. Also, representing each and every kind of knowledge is still a research issue. Since, a single picture is worth a thousand words, it will be a good idea to acquire knowledge also in images rather than only text. Image is an easy way of communication without any boundary of language. Hence there is a need for building an expert system with content based image retrieval which could acquire and deliver the knowledge by searching the image having the similar features that is searched by the user. In the presented work, a system is developed to diagnose diseases in crops by matching the uploaded image of a diseased plant from the corpus of images. Three techniques viz. CEDD, Auto Color Correlogram and FCTH are tested and the result is presented. The automatic image based disease diagnosis in crops may help farmers in early detection of diseases and losses due to the image infestation can be reduced.

A note on circular neighbor balanced designs

Abstract: This paper describes some methods of constructing circular neighbor balanced and circular partially neighbor balanced block designs for estimation of direct and neighbor effects of the treatments. A class of circular neighbor balanced block designs with unequal block sizes is also proposed.
