Utilizing plant-based biogenic volatile organic compounds (bVOCs) to detect aflatoxin in peanut plants, pods, and kernels by Daniel E. Sabo, Justin J. Pitts, Olga Kemenova, Christopher A. Heist, Benjamin Joffe, Xiaojuan (Judy) Song, William M. Hammond

“…It was found using only bVOCs, that Random Forest classification performed well for the analysis of the pod and kernel samples with an F1 score of 0.80. On the other hand, Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA) was only able to correctly classify 50 % of plant-based samples solely on bVOCs alone, which may be due to training models developed using original labels assuming no cross contamination at the field level. …”

Genetic variation in novel calf traits using a farmer-centered, co-design approach to data collection by M.M. Axford, M. Khansefid, A.J. Chamberlain, M. Haile-Mariam, M.E. Goddard, J.E. Pryce

“…A newly defined and subjectively scored trait called calf vitality was co-developed with farmers, where 21% of calves were classed in the top category of vigorous or “ripper,” 54% were good or average, 6% were “duds,” and 19% of scored calves died. Univariate linear models that included a genomic relationship matrix were used to estimate variance components for diseases and vitality, where h2 values were between 1% and 11% in Holsteins, depending on the trait. …”
