Machine Learning Model Predicts Climate Resilience of Modern Rice Varieties
- Researchers developed a machine learning model to predict how rice yields will be affected by climate change
- Model shows modern rice varieties are likely to be more resilient to climate change impacts than older varieties
- Public breeding programs have developed modern rice varieties and broadened the gene pool
- Model provides a framework to build predictive models for other crops using similar data
- Additional experiments growing old and modern rice varieties under predicted conditions could further evaluate the model
