Advancing Plant Metabolic Research By Using Large Language Models To Expand Databases And Extract Labelled Data

This paper evaluates using large language models to expand plant metabolic databases by identifying enzyme-product pairs, compound-species associations, and transcribing table images with high accuracy.

Wax bloom dynamics on Sorghum bicolor under different environmental stresses reveal signaling modules associated with wax production

This study investigates how light and drought dynamically influence wax production in Sorghum bicolor, identifying signaling modules and molecular mechanisms involved.

A new spin on chemotaxonomy using non-proteogenic amino acids as a test case

The paper investigates the phylogenetic distribution of non-proteogenic amino acids in plants to understand their evolutionary history and taxonomic significance.

A molecular representation system with a common reference frame for natural products pathway discovery and structural diversity tasks.

Small language models enable rapid and accurate extraction of structured data from unstructured text: an example with plants and their specialized metabolites

This study evaluates small language models' ability to filter scientific literature and extract structured data from abstracts, finding moderate accuracy with tradeoffs between model size and performance.

Rule-Based Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Diterpene Libraries: Categorizing Patterns & Unravelling the Structural Landscape

The paper deconstructs and reconstructs diterpene structures to categorize patterns and model synthesis mechanisms, revealing core skeletons and predicting compound diversity.
