plant-biotechnology
Plant biotechnology applies genetic, molecular, and cellular tools to modify or improve plant traits beyond what traditional breeding alone can achieve. It enables researchers to develop crops with enhanced resistance to disease, drought, and pests, as well as improved nutritional profiles and yields. This field is central to modern plant science, accelerating the discovery and engineering of beneficial traits that address both agricultural challenges and fundamental questions in plant biology.
