Chinese scientists have unveiled PlantGPT, the first large language model-based artificial intelligence designed specifically for plant functional genomics.
According to Xinhua News Agency, this groundbreaking technology can precisely answer any plant-related question and provide specialised analyses.
Developed jointly by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, South China Agricultural University, and Tsinghua University, PlantGPT aims to be an invaluable tool for researchers. A study published in the journal Advanced Science highlights that the system supports early-career researchers while also assisting experienced scientists in making strategic decisions.
Against the backdrop of increasing demands for food security and improved crop quality, PlantGPT is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing agricultural productivity, nutritional value, pest resistance, and environmental resilience.
With its open-source architecture and regular updates, this AI assistant not only boosts research efficiency but also facilitates knowledge sharing. Currently freely accessible online, PlantGPT is set to expand into synthetic biology and cover a wider range of plant species in the near future, marking a new era in the application of artificial intelligence in plant science.
