TL;DR: An online platform based on a deep-learning framework for spike detection and counting from the wheat plant’s visual images, which is a significant step forward in the field of wheat phenotyping and will be very useful to the researchers and students working in the domain.
Abstract: Computer vision with deep learning is emerging as a significant approach for non-invasive and non-destructive plant phenotyping. Spikes are the reproductive organs of wheat plants. Detection and counting of spikes considered the grain-bearing organ have great importance in the phenomics study of large sets of germplasms. In the present study, we developed an online platform, “Web-SpikeSegNet,” based on a deep-learning framework for spike detection and counting from the wheat plant’s visual images. The architecture of the Web-SpikeSegNet consists of 2 layers. First Layer, Client-Side Interface Layer, deals with end user’s requests and corresponding responses management. In contrast, the second layer, Server Side Application Layer, consists of a spike detection and counting module. The backbone of the spike detection module comprises of deep encoder-decoder network with hourglass network for spike segmentation. The Spike counting module implements the “Analyze Particle” function of imageJ to count the number of spikes. For evaluating the performance of Web-SpikeSegNet, we acquired the wheat plant’s visual images, and the satisfactory segmentation performances were obtained as Type I error 0.00159, Type II error 0.0586, Accuracy 99.65%, Precision 99.59% and F1 score 99.65%. As spike detection and counting in wheat phenotyping are closely related to the yield, Web-SpikeSegNet is a significant step forward in the field of wheat phenotyping and will be very useful to the researchers and students working in the domain.

TL;DR: TheGWAS for 10 yield and yield component traits was conducted using an association panel comprising 225 diverse spring wheat genotypes and provided novel markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) to be utilized for the development of wheat cultivars with improved agronomic traits.
Abstract: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) for 10 yield and yield component traits was conducted using an association panel comprising 225 diverse spring wheat genotypes. The panel was genotyped using 10,904 SNPs and evaluated for three years (2016–2019), which constituted three environments (E1, E2 and E3). Heritability for different traits ranged from 29.21 to 97.69%. Marker-trait associations (MTAs) were identified for each trait using data from each environment separately and also using BLUP values. Four different models were used, which included three single trait models (CMLM, FarmCPU, SUPER) and one multi-trait model (mvLMM). Hundreds of MTAs were obtained using each model, but after Bonferroni correction, only 6 MTAs for 3 traits were available using CMLM, and 21 MTAs for 4 traits were available using FarmCPU; none of the 525 MTAs obtained using SUPER could qualify after Bonferroni correction. Using BLUP, 20 MTAs were available, five of which also figured among MTAs identified for individual environments. Using mvLMM model, after Bonferroni correction, 38 multi-trait MTAs, for 15 different trait combinations were available. Epistatic interactions involving 28 pairs of MTAs were also available for seven of the 10 traits; no epistatic interactions were available for GNPS, PH, and BYPP. As many as 164 putative candidate genes (CGs) were identified using all the 50 MTAs (CMLM, 3; FarmCPU, 9; mvLMM, 6, epistasis, 21 and BLUP, 11 MTAs), which ranged from 20 (CMLM) to 66 (epistasis) CGs. In-silico expression analysis of CGs was also conducted in different tissues at different developmental stages. The information generated through the present study proved useful for developing a better understanding of the genetics of each of the 10 traits; the study also provided novel markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) to be utilized for the development of wheat cultivars with improved agronomic traits.

TL;DR: In this article, a distribution-free test is considered for testing the treatment effects in block designs with different cell frequencies, which is distributed as chi-square for large samples, and the null distribution of the test statistic has been obtained.
Abstract: A distribution–free test is considered for testing the treatment effects in block designs with different cell frequencies. A test statistic which is a function of treatment ranks has been proposed which is distributed as chi-square for large samples. The null distribution of the test statistic has been obtained. The entire procedure has been explained by a numerical example.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for obtaining minimally changed run sequences for factorial experiments has been developed. But, it is difficult to change the levels of factor(s) which will make the experimentation expensive, time-consuming and difficult.
Abstract: Randomization of run sequences in factorial experiments may result in large number of changes in factor levels which will make the experimentation expensive, time-consuming and difficult. Experiments in which it is difficult to change the levels of factor(s), use of minimally changed run sequences may often be preferable to a random run sequence. In the present paper, we have developed method for obtaining minimally changed run sequences for factorial experiments. The general expression of factor-wise number of level changes for the developed minimally changed run sequences has also been obtained. A relationship has been established between the time count effect of a lower order factorial with minimally changed run sequences and that of a higher order factorial with minimally changed run sequences obtained through the lower order minimally changed run sequences. For providing a readymade solution to the end users, a SAS macro has also been developed for generating these minimally changed run seque...
