Systems and methods for correcting drift in retention times of compound signals in chromatography-MS are provided. The methods can correct signals in chromatography-MS data on a compound-by-compound basis. Additionally, the invention includes mechanisms to distinguish between true drift and isomer presence, ensuring that isomers are not incorrectly merged, thereby preserving the integrity of the data. Importantly, the strategy is executable in parallel, thereby allowing a balance of scalability and accuracy not available in currently existing strategies.
Systems and methods are provided for detecting and correcting batch effects within chromatography- MS data files. Chromatography- MS files of signal measurements for different batches may be received from an LC-MS machine and merged into a series of merged files for each respective batch. One batch may be designated a reference batch, and its merged file designated a reference merged file. Each quantile of the merged file for each individual batch may be compared to a corresponding quantile of the reference merged file. The differences in signal measurements may be identified between each corresponding quantile. A correction factor identified relative to the reference batch, which may correspond to an average of the differences in signal measurements identified for the respective quantile of the individual batch. The data file of the individual batch may be adjusted by modifying the signal measurements of each quantile based on the corresponding correction factor.
Disclosed embodiments provide a framework for the amplification of signals to detect metabolites from a set of samples without isotopologues. A plurality of samples is combined into a merged mass spectrum of mass-to-charge (m/z) signal intensities. From the merged mass spectrum, a first set of metabolites are identified based on a concentration of signals corresponding to the first set of metabolites and corresponding isotopologues. A signal bandwidth is calculated based on a limit of detection for the merged mass spectrum and a lowest signal intensity corresponding to an isotopologue associated with the first set of metabolites. From the signal bandwidth, a set of signal intensity adjacencies are identified that are indicative of a second set of metabolites within the merged mass spectrum.

Increasing the content of long chain fatty acids in seed oil
Arabidopsis increases seed oil content, the amount of C20 and C22 fatty acids, and the amount of C56, C58, and C60 triacylglycerols, effectively resulting in significantly higher oil yield per plant. Use of pPLAIIIδ is therefore an effective biotechnological tool to significantly increase plant yield, including oil, and the amount of high value long chain fatty acids in agricultural and horticultural crops, especially oilseed crops.

A field controller and sensor is presented as an elongate body having a hollow interior and axially opposite first and second ends with a first arm extending outward from the elongate body adjacent to the first axial end and a second arm extending outward from the elongate body adjacent to the second, axially opposite end. Each of the arms has an imaging device. The first arm imaging device is positioned to obtain images in a direction toward the second axial end of the elongate body. The second arm imaging device is positioned to obtain images in a direction toward the first axial end. The first and second arms are spaced apart from one another along a length of the elongate body at a distance sufficient to image a canopy of crop growth in a field in which the field controller and sensor is deployed. The sensor may be formed from modules that allow the operator the ability to vary the height of the sensor by stacking the modules together end to end, which in turn allows users to scale their particular system with varying crop sizes within crop rotations.
