It is the study of how plants function in order to grow, develop, survive and reproduce, and why plants behave in a particular way.
Plant physiology is one of the most important and exciting areas in plant biology.
Physiologists, biochemists, molecular biologists and geneticists want to understand these complex living processes at the biochemical and molecular level. When we understand how plants work, the scientific knowledge can be directly applied to benefit agriculture and the environment. Plant biotechnology is the use and manipulation of plants or substances obtained from plants to make products of value to humanity. Feed a world population Deliver Natural Products Needed By Industry and for Medical Purposes Preserve plant diversity which is essential for the survival of biotic communities 2 . Plant biotechnology is one way to address these challenges 3.
