  • FM, an AI model that decodes the complex 'language' of plant RNA. Trained on a vast dataset from over a thousand plant species, this model helps understand how RNA structures regulate plant functions.
The article from MSN discusses a pioneering AI model developed by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, which has successfully decoded the complex communication signals of plants. This AI, named "Plant AI," analyzes the chemical signals plants emit to communicate with each other, responding to environmental changes like light, temperature, and threats. By understanding these signals, scientists can now better comprehend how plants adapt to their surroundings, potentially leading to advancements in agriculture, such as creating crops that are more resilient to climate change or optimizing plant growth conditions. The model uses machine learning to interpret the vast array of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) plants release, offering insights into their health, stress levels, and interactions with other organisms. This breakthrough not only enhances our understanding of plant biology but also opens up new avenues for ecological and agricultural research.
