To collaborate with NASA to study plants in orbit
- Researchers at the Salk Institute are pioneering efforts to engineer climate-resilient plants in a bid to combat climate change and curb the escalating global temperature.
Adapted for plant research by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira in collaboration with Professor Wolfgang Busch, SLEAP enables the comprehensive monitoring of various root growth characteristics crucial for carbon sequestration. Elizabeth Berrigan, a bioinformatics analyst involved in the study, emphasized the efficiency and accessibility of the protocol developed for SLEAP, which significantly reduces analysis time and minimizes human error.
Notably, the SLEAP-based methodology demonstrated superior speed and accuracy in annotating, training AI models, and predicting plant structures, heralding a new era in plant research. By seamlessly linking desirable phenotypes with targetable genes, researchers aim to expedite the development of plants with deeper and more robust root systems, crucial for long-term carbon sequestration.
