Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Please consider contributing your work to an upcoming special issue in BioDesign Research that I am co-editing with Dr. Udaya Kalluri. More information is available at<span class="gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/spj.science.org/page/bdr/si/plant-biodesign-automation__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!CLbmmzSWWWIV-2Q2uptmk5XiTEHOe8wJKcXw39vjefowwkyhv9mNh-MqXO8_5DaQr9fdYdmQQBMRe7rH8aO6vWs$"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica">https://spj.science.org/page/bdr/si/plant-biodesign-automation</span></a><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black"><br>
<br>
Scope: In the plant sciences of the future, the ability to undertake high-precision predictive biology will turbocharge efforts in basic and applied plant biodesign. Automation technologies have immense potential in transforming the pace, precision, and consistency
of engineering, measurement, and perturbation of plant biosystems. The combination of automation, robotics, sensing, real-time data handling, and advanced computational approaches such as AI/ML is bringing about a paradigm shift and transforming the throughput,
efficiency, reliability, and predictability of genetic engineering and plant systems analysis. The special issue theme on “Automation for Plant Biodesign” seeks original research manuscripts as well as reviews on new technologies enabling automated plant biodesign
research or any component of Design-Build-Test-Learn (DBTL) cycles for plants in lab, greenhouse, or field settings.<br>
<br>
