A Milestone in Cross-Species Modeling of Plant Genomes: Creation and Breakthrough Application of the PlantCaduceus DNA Language Model I. Academic Background and Research Motivation In the past two decades, with the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technology, over 1,000 plant genomes have been published, and this number is expected t...

1. Research Background Meiosis is the core process of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes, generating haploid gametes through homologous chromosome pairing, synapsis, and crossover. Polyploidy is a major driver of plant evolution, but additional chromosome copies disrupt key meiotic steps, leading to sterility or genomic instability. Core scientific ...

Academic Background Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a globally important food crop, providing a primary source of calories for approximately one-fifth of the world’s population. However, rice production faces various biotic and abiotic stresses, leading to reduced yields. Among these, rice brown leaf spot disease, caused by the fungal pathogen Cochliobol...
