Plant Breeding is a scientific discipline that improves crop varieties through genetic enhancement. It integrates genetics, agronomy, and biotechnology principles to develop high-yielding, disease-resistant, and climate-resilient crops. This field plays a crucial role in food security by optimizing plant performance through conventional and molecular breeding approaches, ensuring sustainable agricultural systems worldwide.
