PlantGFM: A Genomic Foundation Model for Discovery and Creation of Plant Genes.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The artificial intelligence (AI)-driven generation of genetic sequences holds transformative potential for addressing global challenges in agriculture, medicine, and bioenergy. Traditional approaches including hybridization, mutagenesis, and CRISPR-based editing enable targeted modification of endogenous DNA, yet remain constrained by natural sequence diversity. We here introduce PlantGFM, an application of the Hyena operator within a plant-oriented genomic foundation model, which was pre-trained on 10.84 billion nucleotides from 12 plant species and supports long-context (64 kb) prediction and sequence generation within a unified architecture. After fine-tuning on 10 annotated plant genomes, PlantGFM matched or exceeded the performance of specialized gene prediction tools. Beyond reproducing natural genes, it enables de novo design of novel candidates through the emergence capability of AI. Seven candidates selected through an AI-Human Knowledge fusion screening pipeline all showed transcriptional activity in Nicotiana benthamiana, two with stable protein expression-representing the first demonstration of DNA-RNA-protein expression of Large Language Model-generated sequences in plants. As a proof of concept, PlantGFM also exhibits emergent abilities in generating plant NLR genes. Our findings establish the feasibility of LLM technology for de novo plant gene design, providing a foundation for plant synthetic biology and AI-assisted breeding.
