Effect of root knot nematode on growth and agronomic traits of Hibiscus cannabinus L. varieties

The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of root-knot nematode infection on the growth of kenaf. Seeds of sixteen (16) varieties of kenaf, comprising of eight from Australia, three local and five accessions from Bangladesh were planted under controlled condition and inoculated with four level of 0, 1000, 5000 and 10000 RKN eggs per plant. The growth parameters of height, stalk diameter and number of node of plants were measured at interval of 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after planting. The results of this investigation showed that all kenaf plant cultivars studied here, differed in growth parameters (P= 0.05) both in the absence and presence of nematode infection. M. incognita race 1 was found that can infect all of these cultivars. The damage due to nematode; however; differed based on cultivar, level of inoculation and month of growth. Reduction of plant height and stalk diameter was observed in all inoculated varieties. Number of internode, however; was increased instead. In different growing time, the values for these parameters were shown to be different as a function of growing age and nematode infection. When infected with RKN, a superiority of varieties KK60 (M), G4 (AUST) and entry 3740 concerning to others were observed for height, stalk diameter and internode respectively. The growth parameters of resistant varieties treated with RKN was significantly better over the time as compared to the susceptible one

Status of root knot nematode disease on kenaf cultivated on BRIS soil in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia

A field survey was carried out to investigate kenaf plants cultivated in Telaga Papan, Terengganu, Malaysia with respecting to their performance, root galling and growth characteristics. In this investigation, the aims were to assess the status of nematode infection on kenaf planted on this sandy BRIS area and estimate the incidence and severity of infection. Inspection of kenaf plants showed decolorating, drying and wilting of their leaves along with developing of galls on their root. Leaf colour and plant performance were found to be significantly different between infected and control plant. Infection with nematode was detected to reduce height, stalk diameter and number of node in kenaf plants. Root galling severity and percentage of active galls in kenaf roots were calculated as well. They showed to be closely correlated to each other. However, the relation between root galling severity and height was higher than with diameter and number of node

Machine Learning Methods for Breast Cancer Diagnostic

This chapter discusses radio-pathological correlation with recent imaging advances such as machine learning (ML) with the use of technical methods such as mammography and histopathology. Although criteria for diagnostic categories for radiology and pathology are well established, manual detection and grading, respectively, are tedious and subjective processes and thus suffer from inter-observer and intra-observer variations. Two most popular techniques that use ML, computer aided detection (CADe) and computer aided diagnosis (CADx), are presented. CADe is a rejection model based on SVM algorithm which is used to reduce the False Positive (FP) of the output of the Chan-Vese segmentation algorithm that was initialized by the marker controller watershed (MCWS) algorithm. CADx method applies the ensemble framework, consisting of four-base SVM (RBF) classifiers, where each base classifier is a specialist and is trained to use the selected features of a particular tissue component. In general, both proposed methods offer alternative decision-making ability and are able to assist the medical expert in giving second opinion on more precise nodule detection. Hence, it reduces FP rate that causes over segmentation and improves the performance for detection and diagnosis of the breast cancer and is able to create a platform that integrates diagnostic reporting system
