Wheat commands attention due to its significant impact on culture, nutrition, the economy, and the guarantee of food security. The anticipated rise in temperatures resulting from climate change is a key factor contributing to food insecurity, as it markedly reduces wheat harvests. Terminal heat stress mostly affects spike fertility in wheat, specifically influencing pollen fertility and anther morphology. This research especially focuses on the shape of anthers and examines the effects of heat stress. The DinoLite Microscope's high-resolution images are used to measure the length and width of wheat anthers. By using object identification techniques, the research accurately measures the length and width of each anther in images, offering valuable insights into the differences between various wheat varieties. Furthermore, Deep Learning (DL) methodologies are utilized to enhance agriculture, specifically employing record categorization to advance plant breeding management. Given the ongoing challenges in agriculture, there is a belief that incorporating the latest technologies is crucial. The primary objective of this study is to explore how Deep Learning algorithms can be beneficial in categorizing agricultural records, particularly in monitoring and identifying variations in spring wheat germplasm. Various Deep Learning algorithms, including Convolution Neural Network (CNN), LeNet, and Inception-V3 are implemented to classify the records and extract various patterns. LeNet demonstrates optimized accuracy in classifying the records, outperforming CNN by 52% and Inception-V3 by 70%. Moreover, Precision, Recall, and F1 Measure are utilized to ascertain accuracy levels. The investigation also enhances our comprehension of the distinct roles played by various genes in abiotic stress tolerance among diverse wheat varieties. The outcomes of the research hold the potential to transform agricultural practices by introducing a more effective, data-driven approach to plant breeding management.
小麦因其对文化、营养、经济和粮食安全保障的重大影响而备受关注。气候变化导致的预期气温升高是导致粮食不安全的一个关键因素,因为它显著减少了小麦的收成。终末热胁迫主要影响小麦的穗部育性,特别是影响花粉育性和花药形态。这项研究特别关注花药的形状,并研究热胁迫的影响。DinoLite 显微镜的高分辨率图像用于测量小麦花药的长度和宽度。通过使用目标识别技术,研究准确测量图像中每个花药的长度和宽度,深入了解不同小麦品种之间的差异。此外,深度学习 (DL) 方法被用于增强农业,特别是利用记录分类来推进植物育种管理。考虑到农业面临的持续挑战,人们认为采用最新技术至关重要。本研究的主要目的是探讨深度学习算法如何有益于农业记录的分类,特别是在监测和识别春小麦种质资源的变化方面。实施了各种深度学习算法,包括卷积神经网络 (CNN)、LeNet 和 Inception-V3,以对记录进行分类并提取各种模式。LeNet 在记录分类方面表现出了优化的准确性,比 CNN 高出 52%,比 Inception-V3 高出 70%。此外,还使用精度、召回率和 F1 度量来确定准确性水平。该研究还增强了我们对不同小麦品种中各种基因在非生物胁迫耐受性中所起的不同作用的理解。该研究的结果有可能通过引入更有效、数据驱动的植物育种管理方法来改变农业实践。
