Abstract

Under external environment stimuli seedlings undergo variation of morphology and alterations in its genetic sequences. Phytochrome signaling i.e., feedback reaction of plants to photons and other nutrient cycle plays a crucial role in its maturation. In this research work we create a cyber physical system to control such morphogenesis of plants through the help of artificial intelligence framework which identifies and control the crucial feedback between plant's genetic transcription with respect to the external stimuli such as nutrients, electricity, magnetism. This leads to autonomously grow a plant without its disadvantageous traits by destabilizing its negatively acting transcriptional regulators and enhance the plant's advantageous features by controlling its positively acting transcriptional regulators. This has leaded us to control the plant metabolism, plant growth without soil, manipulate the immunity of plant against disease, develop a plant metabolic profile and maximizes its yield deprived off from its seasonal attribute.Â
