Plant Molecular Biology

The study of the molecular basis of plant life is known as plant molecular biology. It is deeply concerned with how the information encoded in the genome manifests itself as structures, processes, and behaviors. Plant disease and insect resistance is now possible due to robust development in molecular biology. It is observed that using molecular biological procedures, breeding within an existing genetic base can be optimized.

• Estimation of genetic variation.
• Identification of plants using molecular techniques.
• Molecular markers in plant improvement.
• Plant transformation.
