Mechanism-Based Trait Inference in Plants Using Multiplex Networks, AI Agents, and Translation Tools

This system enables the modular design and optimization of complex plant traits by organizing genes and regulatory mechanisms into interpretable clades. It allows researchers, breeders, and developers to simulate, design, and validate traits using AI agents, mechanistic models, and multiplex biological networks. The platform supports trait transfer across species, synthetic trait construction, and licensing workflows for modular trait deployment. It replaces black-box machine learning with explainable, biology-first reasoning for trait development and climate adaptation.
