genome-evolution
Genome evolution examines how plant genomes change in structure and size over time through processes such as gene duplication, polyploidy, and chromosomal rearrangement. This field is critical to plant science because it reveals the genetic mechanisms underlying plant adaptation, diversity, and domestication. By studying genome evolution, researchers can develop improved crop varieties, protect wild plant species, and understand how plants will adapt to environmental change.
