About

    Crop improvement is a branch of agricultural science that focuses on developing new and improved varieties of crops that are more productive, resilient, and nutritious. This research area includes traditional breeding methods as well as biotechnological approaches such as genetic engineering and genome editing. The goal of crop improvement is to increase crop yields, enhance resistance to pests and diseases, improve tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity, and enhance nutritional quality. This research is vital for ensuring food security, promoting sustainable agriculture, and mitigating the impacts of climate change on crop production.
