Researchers at Iowa State University have developed a novel framework that integrates citizen science data with experimental findings to understand plant adaptation. This approach, led by agronomy professor Jianming Yu, utilized a large collection of photos, primarily from iNaturalist, to identify the genetic underpinnings of plant flowering-time responses. The study highlights the value of citizen-contributed data in advancing scientific discovery. AI
