16 articles

Synthetic biology applies engineering principles to design new biological parts and systems or redesign existing ones found in nature. In plant science, this approach enables the development of crops with enhanced traits such as improved nutrition, stress resistance, and productivity through precise genetic engineering. This has significant implications for addressing agricultural challenges and advancing sustainable food production.
