Machine Learning and AI for Precision Plant Epigenetics

Omtale

Machine Learning and AI for Precision Plant Epigenetics demonstrates how to develop climate-resilient crops by integrating AI with RNA-based epigenetic technologies. Edited by Professor Jen-Tsung Chen, a leader in plant biotechnology, this volume integrates insightful contributions from experts around the world that discuss how ML and AI models can revolutionize plant breeding and crop improvement to ensure food security under changing environmental conditions. The book explores applications across sixteen chapters, covering AI-driven epigenome engineering, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated precision editing, intelligent approaches to combat abiotic and biotic stresses, and AI-enabled RNA interference. It explores the use of AI models for studying non-coding RNAs, predicting plant epigenetic landscapes, unlocking heat stress memory mechanisms, and uncovering plant-microbiome interactions critical for productivity. This essential resource is tailored for researchers in plant biology, stress physiology, crop breeding, computational biology, and bioinformatics. It offers a forward-looking perspective on developing sustainable agriculture systems that support global food security in an era of climate change and increasing environmental challenges.
