📚Research into plant gene function is crucial for developing strategies to increase crop yields. The recent introduction of large language models (LLMs) offers a means to aggregate large amounts of data into a queryable format, but the output can contain inaccurate or false claims known as hallucinations. To minimize such hallucinations and produce high-quality knowledge-based outputs, the abstracts of over 60 000 plant research articles are compiled into a Chroma database for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Then linguistic data are used from 13 993 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) phenotypes and 23 323 gene functions to fine-tune the LLM Llama3-8B, producing PlantGPT, a virtual expert in Arabidopsis phenotype–gene research. By evaluating answers to test questions, it is demonstrated that PlantGPT outperforms general LLMs in answering specialized questions. The findings provide a blueprint for functional genomics research in food crops and demonstrate the potential for developing LLMs for plant research modalities. To provide broader access and facilitate adoption, the online tool https://t.co/m25RWXcclA is developed, which will allow researchers to use PlantGPT in their scientific investigations.

🧬WIMI is thrilled to share that the team led by Academician Liu Yaoguang and Researcher Zhu Qinlong from the College of Agriculture at South China Agricultural University, in collaboration with Tsinghua University "PlantGPT: An Arabidopsis - based Intelligent Agent That Answers Questions About Plant Functional Genomics"
📚PlantGPT, available at https://t.co/m25RWXcclA, integrates Retrieval - Augmented Generation (RAG) technology and fine - tuned Large Language Model (LLM) to provide accurate answers to plant functional genomics questions.
It's a powerful AI - assisted tool for plant science research.
