functional-foods
Functional foods are plant products developed through cultivation modifications or selective breeding to deliver health benefits beyond standard nutrition. This field is significant for plant science because it requires deep understanding of plant biochemistry, genetics, and agronomy to enhance bioactive compound production. Such research demonstrates how plant biology can address nutritional and health challenges through evidence-based crop optimization.
