Plant biotechnology applies advanced biological techniques to improve crop productivity, nutritional value, and environmental sustainability. Genetic engineering enables the introduction or modification of desirable traits, allowing the development of crops with enhanced resistance to diseases, insects, drought, and other environmental challenges.
Innovations in CRISPR-based gene editing, recombinant DNA technology, transgenic crops, and plant tissue culture are transforming agricultural production while reducing dependence on chemical inputs and improving resource efficiency.
This session will focus on emerging developments in plant biotechnology, genetic engineering, gene editing, transgenic technologies, molecular breeding, and their applications in sustainable agriculture and modern crop improvement.
