Abstract:
Agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan, a country of 255 million. Amongseveral challenges of the traditional agricultural system, delayed diseasedetection is one of the major concerns causing low annual yield and crop losses.Pakistani farmers still depend on visual symptoms that emerge only afterirreversible damage. To address these concerns, we propose a novelcomputational approach for early plant disease detection by treating RNAexpression patterns as a computational linguistic problem. The BioLingual™algorithm will apply advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques toRNA-seq data to identify disease signatures up to three weeks before visiblesymptoms appear. Our pipeline will integrate already extracted RNA sequencesfrom field samples, state-of-the-art analytics for pattern recognition, and thecreation of Pakistan's first crop disease biomarker database. Initially targetingwheat crops, upon receiving sequencing/qPCR that are plant pathogenindicators, our bidirectional sequence modeling and self-attention approachextracts disease patterns from enriched RNA, outperforming traditional visualinspection for early disease detection, avoiding complex bioinformatics. Theproject’s outcomes will strengthen national food security, enhance economicresilience, and position Pakistan as a leader in AI-enabled agriculturalbiotechnology.
