Plant biotechnology is the application of scientific tools and techniques—including genetic engineering, tissue culture, and molecular breeding—to modify, improve, or better understand plants at the cellular and molecular level. It enables researchers to develop crops with enhanced traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved nutritional profiles, accelerating what would otherwise take decades through conventional breeding. This field is central to modern plant science as it bridges fundamental biological discoveries with practical agricultural solutions to global food security challenges.
