Artificial Intelligence: A Promising Tool in Exploring the Phytomicrobiome in Managing Disease and Promoting Plant Health
Bibliographic record
Abstract
There is increasing interest in harnessing the microbiome to improve cropping systems. With the availability of high-throughput and low-cost sequencing technologies, gathering microbiome data is becoming more routine. However, the analysis of microbiome data is challenged by the size and complexity of the data, and the incomplete nature of many microbiome databases. Further, to bring microbiome data value, it often needs to be analyzed in conjunction with other complex data that impact on crop health and disease management, such as plant genotype and environmental factors. Artificial intelligence (AI), boosted through deep learning (DL), has achieved significant breakthroughs and is a powerful tool for managing large complex datasets such as the interplay between the microbiome, crop plants, and their environment. In this review, we aim to provide readers with a brief introduction to AI techniques, and we introduce how AI has been applied to areas of microbiome sequencing taxonomy, the functional annotation for microbiome sequences, associating the microbiome community with host traits, designing synthetic communities, genomic selection, field phenotyping, and disease forecasting. At the end of this review, we proposed further efforts that are required to fully exploit the power of AI in studying phytomicrobiomes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
