plant-genetics
Plant genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in plants, drawing on molecular biology, evolutionary biology, and bioinformatics to understand how heritable traits are encoded and expressed. It is foundational to plant science because it reveals the mechanisms underlying growth, development, and adaptation in plant species. Insights from plant genetics drive advances in crop improvement, disease resistance, and agricultural biotechnology, making it one of the most applied fields in modern plant biology.
