Researchers in Japan have genetically engineered a rose to achieve a true blue color by inserting genes for blue pigments and helper molecules, marking a breakthrough in plant science after years of effort.

This paper proposes an agentic framework combining rules and LLMs for embedding and annotating document layouts in plant science, demonstrating scalable trait extraction with improved annotation coverage.

Scientists have discovered the missing genes and enzyme that tobacco plants use to synthesize nicotine, solving a 200-year-old mystery. The finding could enable safer biotech production of medicines and vaccines using tobacco plants without nicotine contamination.
