1/ How conserved are plant stress responses across 1 billion years of evolution? We built a cross-kingdom stress atlas spanning 36 species, from green algae to angiosperms, across 9 stresses. 13.6M DEG calls from 3,200 manually curated experiments. π§΅biorxiv.org/content/10.64898β¦

1/π± Can we map how an entire field actually does science?
We built the Research Process Graph (RPG): a new way to capture not what a paper knows, but what it did, as Question β Method β Finding chains.

7/It's also a tool. Our public database includes a "Digital Professor" that turns any natural-language question into a literature-grounded research prospectus.

8/RPG is journal- and field-agnostic. Next: extend it across the entire plant-science literature.
Huge thanks to Jing Yang & Manoj Itharajula.
What would you ask the literature if you could query its reasoning directly?
#PlantScience#LLM#AI
20 years of plant biology in one chart. We asked: which techniques rose, which faded (source, Plant Cell)?
RNA-seq: 0.3% β 34% (β100Γ). CRISPR: 0 β 21%. Northern blot, microarray, RT-PCR: collapsed. Western, qPCR, confocal: still everywhere.

Few days ago we shipped RPG β every Plant Cell paper as a QβMβF graph. 150,000 nodes, 2,600 papers.
Today: the people who connect those papers.

Why this matters beyond plant biology: science happens at intersections. Between people, between fields, between methods that shouldn't have been combined until someone did.
Making those intersections visible is the goal.

Reading a scientific paper takes hours. No PI, no student, can keep up. And keyword search finds words, not ideas.
So we built a Research Process Graph: a new way to read the literature.

Why this matters beyond plant biology:
Science is structured knowledge stored as unstructured prose. RPG turns the research process itself into a queryable database. Ask the literature directly -> get grounded, paper-linked answers in seconds instead of weeks.
Plant biology is just the start. The approach generalizes to any scientific field.
