About

    Plant biotechnology is a field of research that involves the use of scientific techniques to improve plant species for agricultural, pharmaceutical, and industrial purposes. This includes genetic engineering, tissue culture, and molecular breeding to enhance traits such as yield, resistance to pests and diseases, and tolerance to environmental stress. Plant biotechnology also plays a key role in the production of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for food production and biofuels. This research area is essential for addressing global challenges such as food security, climate change, and sustainable agriculture.
