The functional importance of RNA structure in plant domesticationπ
π§ͺ 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. π±π€

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

Weβve built this virtual plant scientist PlantScience.ai to grow alongside human researchersπΏ. 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

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.
