Agricultural biotechnology, also known as agritech, is an area of agricultural science involving the use of scientific tools and techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular markers, molecular diagnostics, vaccines, and tissue culture, to modify living organisms: plants, animals, and microorganisms.

Trait specific genetic use restriction technologies modify a crop in such a way that the genetic enhancement engineered into the crop does not function until the plant is treated with a specific chemical. [7] [12] The chemical acts as the external input, activating the target gene. One difference in T-GURTs is the possibility that the gene ...
He has presented research and novel concepts related to food and nutrition security in several high-level fora such as: G8 International Conference on Open Data for Agriculture on Open Data in Genomics and Modern Breeding for Crop Improvement, [7] organized by US and UK Governments in the World Bank (2013); Brainstorming session on Digital ...
ICRISAT performs crop improvement research, using conventional as well as methods derived from biotechnology, on the following crops: chickpea, [9] pigeonpea, [10] groundnut, [11] pearl millet, [12] sorghum, [13] finger millet, [14] teff, and small millets. ICRISAT's scientific information by topic, crop, location and resources is found on ...
Participatory plant breeding (PPB) is when farmers are involved in a crop improvement programme with opportunities to make decisions and contribute to the research process at different stages. [34] [35] [36] Participatory approaches to crop improvement can also be applied when plant biotechnologies are being used for crop improvement. [37]
Plant scientists, backed by results of modern comprehensive profiling of crop composition, point out that crops modified using GM techniques are less likely to have unintended changes than are conventionally bred crops. [61] [62] In research tobacco and Arabidopsis thaliana are the most frequently modified plants, due to well-developed ...
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 13.263, ranking it 5th out of 238 journals in the category "Plant Sciences" [1] and 8th out of 158 journals in the category "Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology". [2] As an Open Access journal, articles are accessible globally without restriction.
Luca Comai is an Italian plant biologist whose work has focused on trait discovery for improving agricultural crops and on developing protocols and systems for identifying new genes and mutations in plants.
