Hello, here the global challenges in plant biotechnology.
Increase crop productivity especially in adverse environments,
Management of herbicide tolerance,
Management of resistance to pests,
Management of resistance to diseases,
Improvement of genetic engineering technologies to enhance public perception etc.
What about microbial biotechnology the many topics related with plant biotechnology for example genetic engineering and transgenic crops, biopesticides, bioinsecticides, biofeltilisers, bioleaching, soil desalination etc.
The main research is to investigate genetic determinants of plant responses to drought and salinity because of the impact that these two abiotic stresses have on crop yield and food security. Some researches are focus on food crops and crops of high commercial value. Some others focus on the integration of plant biotechnology with industrial, environmental, animal, and medical biotechnology .
