This article discusses the use of human-machine collaboration in plant biology research. Advances in technology have allowed researchers to collect large amounts of high-resolution data, but the processing capacity of humans is often limited. By augmenting human capabilities with machines, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, researchers can gain new insights and make discoveries that would be difficult or impossible for humans alone. The article highlights several examples of human-machine collaboration, including the use of deep learning to analyze root development, the development of a portable stomatal imaging device, and the use of virtual reality to study plant morphology. These technologies have the potential to greatly enhance research in plant biology. [Extracted from the article]
