Hi colleagues ,
Greeting from Vietnam National Plant Genebank, Hanoi, Vietnam
Please let us know your knowledge on how AI could contribute to 1. Plant Resources Conservation and 2. Plant Genebanks Management
For 1. Conservation: focused in developing a flexible strategy between ex-situ and in-situ conservations. But parameters/ indicators of plant diversity, their value chains, local bio knowledge, culture and economy as well as land use transformation and change of lifestyle as well as impacts of climate in in-situ must be measured, tracked and modeled through digitalization and technologies of block chains, big data, IoTs, AI to identify trends between in-situ and ex-situ for population, species and ecosystem levels;
For 2. Genebank: IT and AI to be designed and applied on specific goals oriented breeding such climate change mitigation/adaptation; yields, quality, pest/disease resistance as well as nutrition, health and environment, etc
Thank you and hearing from you soon!!!
