Program Summary

Plant science and biotechnology as a course focuses on the study of plants and their application in improving agricultural productivity, sustainability, and environmental health. It covers the biology of plants, including their growth, development, and reproduction, and explores how plants interact with their environment. The course also delves into genetic engineering, molecular biology, and the manipulation of plant genes to improve crop traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and nutritional value. Students learn about the use of biotechnological tools in developing new plant varieties and in addressing global challenges like food security and climate change. Practical aspects of the course often involve laboratory work, field studies, and research projects that enhance the understanding of plant genetics, plant physiology, and plant breeding. The integration of modern technologies with traditional plant sciences offers a comprehensive approach to addressing agricultural and ecological issues.
