crop genetics and breeding
Crop genetics and breeding refers to the study and manipulation of plant genes to develop new and improved crop varieties with desirable traits, such as higher yields, improved quality, resistance to diseases, and tolerance to environmental stresses. It involves a combination of scientific techniques, including gene sequencing, hybridization, and selection, to optimize plant traits for agricultural purposes.
