中国领导全球利用AI绘制植物基因组图的努力,目的是加强粮食安全、保护和药物发现。 China leads global effort to map plant genomes using AI, aiming to boost food security, conservation, and drug discovery.

中国科学家与40多个国际机构一起,发起了PlanteT倡议,绘制土地植物演变图,促进保护、粮食安全和药物发现方面的遗传资源。 Chinese scientists, alongside over 40 international institutions, have launched the PLANeT initiative to map land plant evolution and boost genetic resources for conservation, food security, and drug discovery. 该项目使用人工智能分析大量基因组数据,旨在构建高分辨率的植物遗传树,解决99%以上物种缺乏参考基因组的问题. Using AI to analyze vast genomic data, the project aims to build a high-resolution plant phylogenetic tree, addressing the lack of reference genomes for over 99% of species. 它寻求查明1 000种潜在的自然药品,发现100种新作物,并发现干旱、疾病和食盐耐受基因,以支持抗气候农业。 It seeks to identify 1,000 potential natural drugs, discover 100 new crops, and uncover genes for drought, disease, and salt tolerance to support climate-resilient agriculture. 这项努力还加强了灭绝风险探测和养护规划,为植物建立了一个共同的基因组框架。 The effort also enhances extinction risk detection and conservation planning, creating a shared genomic framework for plants.
