Download or read book The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants written by Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in an affordable softcover edition, this classic in Springer's acclaimed Virtual Laboratory series is the first comprehensive account of the computer simulation of plant development. 150 illustrations, one third of them in colour, vividly demonstrate the spectacular results of the algorithms used to model plant shapes and developmental processes. The latest in computer-generated images allow us to look at plants growing, self-replicating, responding to external factors and even mutating, without becoming entangled in the underlying mathematical formulae involved. The authors place particular emphasis on Lindenmayer systems - a notion conceived by one of the authors, Aristid Lindenmayer, and internationally recognised for its exceptional elegance in modelling biological phenomena. Nonetheless, the two authors take great care to present a survey of alternative methods for plant modelling.
Download or read book Accelerated Plant Breeding Volume 1 written by Satbir Singh Gosal and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant improvement has shifted its focus from yield, quality and disease resistance to factors that will enhance commerical export, such as early maturity, shelf life and better processing quality. Conventional plant breeding methods aiming at the improvement of a self-pollinating crop, such as wheat, usually take 10-12 years to develop and release of the new variety. During the past 10 years, significant advances have been made and accelerated methods have been developed for precision breeding and early release of crop varieties. This work summarizes concepts dealing with germplasm enhancement and development of improved varieties based on innovative methodologies that include doubled haploidy, marker assisted selection, marker assisted background selection, genetic mapping, genomic selection, high-throughput genotyping, high-throughput phenotyping, mutation breeding, reverse breeding, transgenic breeding, shuttle breeding, speed breeding, low cost high-throughput field phenotyping, etc. It is an important reference with special focus on accelerated development of improved crop varieties.
Download or read book The Molecular Basis of Plant Genetic Diversity written by Mahmut Caliskan and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Molecular Basis of Plant Genetic Diversity presents chapters revealing the magnitude of genetic variations existing in plant populations. Natural populations contain a considerable genetic variability which provides a genomic flexibility that can be used as a raw material for adaptation to changing environmental conditions. The analysis of genetic diversity provides information about allelic variation at a given locus. The increasing availability of PCR-based molecular markers allows the detailed analyses and evaluation of genetic diversity in plants and also, the detection of genes influencing economically important traits. The purpose of the book is to provide a glimpse into the dynamic process of genetic variation by presenting the thoughts of scientists who are engaged in the generation of new ideas and techniques employed for the assessment of genetic diversity, often from very different perspectives. The book should prove useful to students, researchers, and experts in the area of conservation biology, genetic diversity, and molecular biology.

This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2003 edition of ICANNGA marks a milestone in this conference series, because it is the tenth year of its existence. The series began in 1993 with the inaugural conference at Innsbruck in Austria. At that first conference, the organisers decided to organise a similar scientific meeting every two years. As a result, conferences were organised at Ales in France (1995), Norwich in England (1997), Portoroz in Slovenia (1999) and Prague in the Czech Republic (2001). It is a great honour that the conference is taking place in France for the second time. Each edition of ICANNGA has been special and had its own character. Not only that, participants have been able to sample the life and local culture in five different European coun tries. Originally limited to neural networks and genetic algorithms the conference has broadened its outlook over the past ten years and now includes papers on soft computing and artificial intelligence in general. This is one of the reasons why the reader will find papers on fuzzy logic and various other topics not directly related to neural networks or genetic algorithms included in these proceedings. We have, however, kept the same name, "International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms". All of the papers were sorted into one of six principal categories: neural network theory, neural network applications, genetic algorithm and evolutionary computation theory, genetic algorithm and evolutionary computation applications, fuzzy and soft computing theory, fuzzy and soft computing applications.

Book excerpt: Biomimicry uses our scienti?c understanding of biological systems to exploit ideas from nature in order to construct some technology. In this book, we focus onhowtousebiomimicryof the functionaloperationofthe “hardwareandso- ware” of biological systems for the development of optimization algorithms and feedbackcontrolsystemsthatextendourcapabilitiestoimplementsophisticated levels of automation. The primary focus is not on the modeling, emulation, or analysis of some biological system. The focus is on using “bio-inspiration” to inject new ideas, techniques, and perspective into the engineering of complex automation systems. There are many biological processes that, at some level of abstraction, can berepresentedasoptimizationprocesses,manyofwhichhaveasa basicpurpose automatic control, decision making, or automation. For instance, at the level of everyday experience, we can view the actions of a human operator of some process (e. g. , the driver of a car) as being a series of the best choices he or she makes in trying to achieve some goal (staying on the road); emulation of this decision-making process amounts to modeling a type of biological optimization and decision-making process, and implementation of the resulting algorithm results in “human mimicry” for automation. There are clearer examples of - ological optimization processes that are used for control and automation when you consider nonhuman biological or behavioral processes, or the (internal) - ology of the human and not the resulting external behavioral characteristics (like driving a car). For instance, there are homeostasis processes where, for instance, temperature is regulated in the human body.

This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an extensive concept that can be interpreted as a concentration on designing computer programs to train machines to accomplish functions like or better than hu-mans. An important subset of AI is Machine Learning (ML), in which a computer is provided with the capacity to learn its own patterns instead of the patterns and restrictions set by a human programmer, thus improving from experience. Deep Learning (DL), as a class of ML techniques, employs multilayered neural networks. The application of AI to plant science research is new and has grown significantly in recent years due to developments in calculation power, proficien-cies of hardware, and software progress. AI algorithms try to provide classifications and predic-tions. As applied to plant breeding, particularly omics data, ML as a given AI algorithm tries to translate omics data, which are intricate and include nonlinear interactions, into precise plant breeding. The applications of AI are extending rapidly and enhancing intensely in sophistication owing to the capability of rapid processing of huge and heterogeneous data. The conversion of AI techniques into accurate plant breeding is of great importance and will play a key role in the new era of plant breeding techniques in the coming years, particularly multi-omics data analysis. Advancements in plant breeding mainly depend upon developing statistical methods that harness the complicated data provided by analytical technologies identifying and quantifying genes, transcripts, proteins, metabolites, etc. The systems biology approach used in plant breeding, which integrates genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics data, provides a massive amount of information. It is essential to perform accurate statistical analyses and AI methods such as ML and DL as well as optimization techniques to not only achieve an understanding of networks regulation and plant cell functions but develop high-precision models to predict the reaction of new Genetically Modified (GM) plants in special conditions. The constructed models will be of great economic importance, significantly reducing the time, labor, and instrument costs when finding optimized conditions for the bio-exploitation of plants. This Research Topic covers a wide range of studies on artificial intelligence-assisted plant breeding techniques, which contribute to plant biology and plant omics research. The relevant sub-topics include, but are not restricted to, the following: • AI-assisted plant breeding using omics and multi-omics approaches • Applying AI techniques along with multi-omics to recognize novel biomarkers associated with plant biological activities • Constructing up-to-date ML modeling and analyzing methods for dealing with omics data related to different plant growth processes • AI-assisted omics techniques in the plant defense process • Combining AI-assisted omics and multi-omics techniques using plant system biology approaches • Combining bioinformatics tools with AI approaches to analyze plant omics data • Designing cutting-edge workflow and developing innovative AI biology methods for omics data analysis
