An international team of scientists has developed a machine learning-based computational software to design small RNA. The software is freely available as a web service at https://plantgrn.noble.org/pssRNAit/ to design small RNA for more than 160 plants. The pssRNAit helps scientists to identify the function behind plant properties. The tool will also allow researchers to develop a high yield crop variety suitable for growing in the desert and harsh climatic conditions. This work has been published in the “breakthrough technology” section of the September 2020 issue of the international journal Plant Physiology. Plant Physiology is one of the world's oldest and most well-respected plant science journals published by the American Society of Plant Biologists.
