Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are valuable tools for plant science, yet only few plant labs possess their own MR hardware. Affordable, mobile MR devices have the potential to change that, especially if labs would be able to build their own instruments. [...]

Roots have been less extensively studied compared to plant shoots as they are quite hard to study in their natural environment but are of equal importance. MRI is a technology that can provide morphological information on root systems under the condition that appropriate soil types are used. [...]

Model explainability, which integrates interpretability with domain knowledge, is crucial for assessing the reliability of machine learning frameworks, particularly in enhancing decision support in digital agriculture. Efforts have been made to establish a clear definition of explainability and develop new interpretability techniques. [...]

Erysiphe necator Schwein is a fungus that causes grapevine powdery mildew. It is one of the most problematicpathogens attacking Vitis vinifera L. [...]
