AI Helps Search for Endangered Plant’s Female Partner
Artificial intelligence is aiding researchers in finding a female partner for E. woodii, the “world’s loneliest plant,” to naturally spread the species, now extinct in the wild. AI analyzes images from the Ngoye Forest, where only male plants have been found. Researchers explore sex transformation due to climate changes. Less than 2% of the forest has been studied, offering hope for finding a female and reviving the species.
