Extraction of Areas of Rice False Smut Infection Using UAV Hyperspectral Data

Main Ustilaginoidins and Their Distribution in Rice False Smut Balls

Rice false smut has become an increasingly serious fungal disease in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production worldwide. Ustilaginoidins are bis-naphtho-γ-pyrone mycotoxins previously isolated from the rice false smut balls (FSBs) infected by the pathogen Villosiclava virens in rice spikelets on panicles. To investigate the main ustilaginoidins and their distribution in rice FSBs, five main bis-naphth...

Rice False Smut Fungus, Ustilaginoidea virens, Inhibits Pollen Germination and Degrades the Integuments of Rice Ovule

Ustilaginoidea virens is a flower-infecting fungus that forms false smut balls in rice panicle. Rice false smut has long been considered a minor disease, but recently it occurred frequently and emerged as a major disease in rice production. In vitro co-cultivation of U. virens strain with young rice panicles showed that U. virens enters inside of spikelets from the apex and then grows downward ...

PEST MANAGEMENT: DISEASES Infection of Plants of Selected Rice Cultivars by the False Smut Fungus, Ustilaginoidea virens, in Arkansas

False smut, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens, has recently been found in Arkansas. Plants infected by the fungus remain symptom-free until heading and it is difficult to see spores on contaminated seeds. Field tests were conducted in 2006 to determine the effect of false-smut inoculation of rice seeds on the yields of selected rice cultivars. Seeds were inoculated by vacuum infiltration in suspe...

Classification of Hyperspectral Data using Best-bases Feature Extraction Algorithms

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
