Plant Genetics and Breeding
Plant Genetics and Breeding
Plant genetics and breeding involve developing improved crop varieties with higher yields, better nutrition, and resistance to pests and environmental stresses. Through traditional crossbreeding or modern genetic engineering, desirable traits are introduced into plants to enhance their productivity. Techniques like CRISPR gene editing allow precise modifications for disease resistance and climate adaptability. This field plays a critical role in addressing global challenges like food insecurity and climate change. By optimizing plant genetics, breeders ensure sustainable agricultural practices while meeting the growing demand for diverse and nutritious crops.
