Heterogeneous and multidisciplinary data generated by research on sustainable global agriculture agrifood systems requires quality labeling or annotation in order to be interoperable. As recommended the FAIR principles, data, labels, metadata must use controlled vocabularies ontologies that are popular knowledge domain commonly used community. Despite existence of robust Life Sciences, there is currently no comprehensive full set for across agricultural disciplines. In this paper, we discuss...
Transgenic Bt corn expressing the Cry3Bb insecticidal protein active against rootworm (CRW) (Diabrotica spp.; Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was released for commercial use in 2003 and is expected to be widely adopted. Yet, direct indirect risks soil microorganisms of growing this CRW-resistant versus applying insecticides control have not been assessed under field conditions. The effects CRW insecticide tefluthrin [2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methylbenzyl...
Photosynthetic assimilation of CO2 is a primary source carbon in soil and root exudates can influence the community dynamics rhizosphere organisms. Thus, if partitioning affected transgenic crops, microbial communities may also be affected. In this study, temporal effects gene transformation on rice were investigated under greenhouse conditions using 13C pulse-chase labeling method phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis. The contents leaves (Bt) nontransgenic (Ck) significantly different at...
The paper gives examples of the bioinformatics services provided in a variety different libraries by librarians with broad range educational background and training.Two investigators sent an email inquiry to attendees "National Center for Biotechnology Information's (NCBI) Introduction Molecular Biology Information Resources" or "NCBI Advanced Workshop Bioinformatics Specialists (NAWBIS)" courses. thirty-five-item questionnaire addressed areas such as background, library setting, types...
<ns4:p>Scientific innovation is increasingly reliant on data and computational resources. Much of today’s life science research involves generating, processing, reusing heterogeneous datasets that are growing exponentially in size. Demand for technical experts (data scientists bioinformaticians) to process these at an all-time high, but not typically trained good management practices. That said, we have come a long way the last decade, with funders, publishers, researchers themselves making...
Abstract Since the first commercial release of a transgenic crop in 1994, land area planted to these crops has expanded over 90 million ha worldwide, with approximately 8.5 farmers 21 countries cultivating crops. Public apprehension mounted apace. Concerns include: (i) potential for gene flow into wild plant populations or soil organisms; (ii) adverse effects on non-target (iii) products residues persisting environment deleterious and, insecticidal crops; (iv) resistance developing target...
Abstract Traditional simulation models are often point based; thus, more research is needed to emphasize spatial simulation, providing decision‐makers with fast recommendations. Combining machine learning algorithms process‐based could be considered an appropriate solution. We created a model in R (APSIMx_R) generate fine‐resolution data from coarse‐resolution data, which typically available at the regional level. The APSIM crop outputs were then deployed train and test artificial neural...
ABSTRACT Despite the rapid adoption of crops expressing insecticidal Cry protein(s) from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), public concern continues to mount over potential environmental impacts. Reduced residue decomposition rates and increased tissue lignin concentrations reported for some Bt corn hybrids have been highlighted recently as they may influence soil carbon dynamics. We assessed effects MON863 corn, producing Cry3Bb protein against rootworm complex, on these aspects associated...

Agricultural research has been traditionally driven by linear approaches dictated hypothesis-testing. With the advent of powerful data science capabilities, predictive, empirical are possible that operate over large pools to discern patterns. Such need contain well-described, machine-interpretable, and openly available (represented high-scoring Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable—or FAIR—resources). CGIAR's Platform for Big Data in Agriculture developed several solutions help...
