There’s a fruitseller’s plantain here. Sometimes early morning when the sun is winter white striking through the clouds the first birds start singing the next block over and a single plantain sneaks o...

Sometimes I crave the food I grew up with in Miami – lots of Cuban food! Lately I’ve been craving two of my favorite side dishes – plantains. I’ve had many friends who have tasted cooked sweet plantai...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a new method that more than doubles computer processing speeds while using 75% less memory to analyze plant imaging data. The advance removes a major computational bottleneck and accelerates AI-guided discoveries for the development of high-performing crops. The new method is detailed in a paper that was presented at the International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC25) held in November 2025.

Family-owned and operated, Artisan Tropic has been a leader in crafting delicious plantain and cassava chips. Now, they’re adding a new snack into the mix with the launch of their three brand-new regenerative...

A research team led by Prof. Jiang Ni from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a cost-effective method for in-field acquisition of flag leaf angle (FLANG) images and developed a lightweight deep learning model, LeafPoseNet, for accurate FLANG estimation.

Scientists at the University of California, Davis, used artificial intelligence to help plants recognize a wider range of bacterial threats — which may lead to new ways to protect crops like tomatoes and potatoes from devastating diseases. The study was published in Nature Plants.

Scientists developed a machine-learning tool that can teach itself, with minimal external guidance, to differentiate between aerial images of flowering and nonflowering grasses—an advance that will greatly increase the pace of agricultural field research, they say. The work was conducted using images of thousands of varieties of Miscanthus grasses, each of which has its own flowering traits and timing.

Nos tempos que correm, podemos lembrar a todos os poderosos que sentem dificuldade em abandonar o poder a sábia lição de Diocleciano.
