Integrating genetic markers and adiabatic quantum machine learning to improve disease resistance-based marker assisted plant selection

The goal of this research was to create a more accurate and efficient method for selecting plants with disease resistance using a combination of genetic markers and advanced machine learning algorithms. A multi-disciplinary approach incorporating genomic data, machine learning algorithms and high-performance computing was employed. First, genetic markers highly associated with disease resistance were identified using next-generation sequencing data and statistical analysis. Then, an adiabatic quantum machine learning algorithm was developed to integrate these markers into a single predictor of disease susceptibility. The results demonstrate that the integrative use of genetic markers and adiabatic quantum machine learning significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of disease resistance-based marker-assisted plant selection. By leveraging the power of adiabatic quantum computing and genetic markers, more effective and efficient strategies for disease resistance-based marker-assisted plant selection can be developed.
