South Korea: University Research Team Unveils AI Model to Predict Virulence of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus
Sungkyunkwan University researchers unveiled DeepTYLCV, an AI model that predicts the virulence of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV) directly from viral genome sequences. The hybrid system blends transformer‑based language embeddings with a multi‑scale convolutional neural network, surpassing the earlier IML‑TYLCV tool. In blind tests on 15 international and Korean isolates, DeepTYLCV achieved 100% concordance with laboratory infection assays, correctly classifying mild and severe strains. The breakthrough offers a scalable, sequence‑driven surveillance method for tomato growers worldwide.
