Plant Biotechnology and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).

Biology of Plants: A Primer

The scientific field known as "plant biotechnology" focuses on the improvement and manipulation of plants through the use of biological systems, organisms, or derivatives in the creation of new goods, processes, or technology.

Agricultural, medicinal, industrial, and environmental sectors can all gain from a better understanding of plant biology, which is made possible by the vast array of methods and resources that make up this discipline. Plant biotechnology has been a game-changer in the last several decades, allowing us to tackle pressing global issues like climate change, sustainable agriculture, and food security.

From a historical perspective, it is possible to trace the origins of plant biotechnology to the early days of agriculture, when people started to selectively breed plants for specific features they wanted. We made great strides in our capacity to control plant genes with the development of contemporary biotechnology in the twentieth century. More specific and focused interventions in plant genomes have become possible with the advent of molecular biology tools and the understanding of DNA structure.

Plant Biotechnology Essential Methods:

Genetic Engineering: Adding foreign genes to a plant's genome in order to make it have a certain trait or quality is known as genetic engineering or genetic modification. Increased nutritional value, pest and disease resistance, and agricultural yields have all resulted from
