They demonstrated that fully mechanized hybrid seed production and increased seed number can be achieved using small-grain alleles of GSE3 in male sterile lines.

With cotton picking being a manually laborious task, the new machine—which is an autonomous robot—is seen as a critical step toward making cotton farming fully mechanized.

Further, they demonstrate that fully mechanized hybrid seed production and increased seed number can be achieved using small-grain alleles of GSE3 in male sterile lines.

Biohybrid machines are gaining popularity because fully mechanical robots are falling behind animals in terms of efficiency, durability, and capabilities.
