cell-engineering
Cell engineering is the deliberate modification of genetic sequences in cells to alter their functions, growth, and production capabilities using techniques like recombinant DNA technology. In plant science, this approach enables researchers to develop crops with enhanced traits such as disease resistance, improved nutritional content, and greater environmental resilience. By allowing precise genetic modifications at the cellular level, cell engineering provides a powerful tool for advancing agricultural sustainability and addressing key challenges in food security.
