Diversity of Squash Plant Floral Volatiles Mediating Beetle Attraction

Why do beetles like some squash flowers more than others? Flowers emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are integral for defensive and communicative plant abilities. Certain floral volatiles of squash plants have been known to attract pests like cucumber beetles, while others appear more immune. This study expands on the observation that some squash plants are more infested with pests than others. It aims to decipher which specific floral volatiles are influential in this phenomenon and reveal which squash varieties of Cucurbita maxima have higher/lower levels of these important floral volatiles

AI Models for Neuron Segmentation: A Comparative Study

Project goal: Electron microscopy (EM) provides scientists at The Schroeder Laboratory with a variety of biological insights into neural networks and synapses. However, due to the substantial data generated from the biological specimens being analyzed, the process of manual cell segmentation is labor-intensive and time-consuming. This project assesses and optimizes three different open-source machine learning models. Our objective is to determine which model delivers the highest efficiency, precision, and ease of use for our laboratory needs
