NEWS - How cucumbers got longer - and why it's a big deal for farming
A collaboration between the JIC and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) has probed the differences between wild cucumbers and their domestic relatives at a molecular level.

๐งช Can AI learn the language of plant life?
HFSP Fellow Haopeng Yu developed PlantRNA-FM, a foundation model trained on RNA data from 1124 plant species. It decodes how RNA shapes gene regulation, boosting plant science and crop design. ๐ฑ๐ค

Weโve built this virtual plant scientist PlantScience.ai to grow alongside human researchers๐ฟ. It thinks like an expert, cites like a scholar, and never stops learning. Come and have a chat with it! @yiliangding.bsky.social @johninnescentre.bsky.social

Ever heard of foundation models but not sure where to start? ๐ค We wrote a review for RNA biologists, no AI background required ๐ Everything explained through RNA biology examples you already know ๐งฌ @yiliangding.bsky.social

It was a great honor to attend the New Phytologist next generation scientists conference. I believe that more and more scientists will harness AI-driven foundation models to uncover new insights in plant science.

I believe that with this powerful AI model, we can uncover more fascinating rules hidden within plant nucleotides. Thank the support from the @hfspo.bsky.social and @johninnescentre.bsky.social, thank for the support from Prof. @yiliangding.bsky.social. Prof Li, Prof. Zhang and other co-authors.
