Plant Cell, Tissue, and Organ Culture
Tissue culture is the growth of tissues or cells in an artificial medium separate from the parent organism. This technique is also called micropropagation.
Genetic Engineering & Genome Editing
Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology.
Cytology & Cytogenetics
Cytology is the exam of a single cell type, as often found in fluid specimens. It's mainly used to diagnose or screen for cancer.
Systems Biology
Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems.
Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics plays an essential role in today's plant science. As the amount of data grows exponentially, there is a parallel growth in the demand for tools and methods in data management, visualization, integration, analysis, modeling, and prediction.
Artificial Intelligence
AI tools can accurately predict protein structures in minutes to hours — compared with the months, or years, that it used to take to determine the structure of just one or two proteins. Since the 1960s, structural biologists have worked on parallel approaches to understanding the science of protein folding.
