Plant genetics studies the hereditary mechanisms in plants, including gene function, mutation, and inheritance patterns. It provides insights into how plants evolve and adapt to various environmental pressures. By identifying genes associated with favorable traits, researchers can develop plants with improved resilience, productivity, and nutritional value. Molecular techniques such as genome sequencing and genetic mapping have revolutionized plant genetics, enabling a deeper understanding of complex traits and facilitating selective breeding efforts. This field is fundamental to crop improvement programs, as it enables the development of plant varieties tailored to specific agricultural and environmental needs, enhancing food security and sustainability.
