Crop Biochemistry

Crop biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes and substances that occur in plants, particularly those grown for food and agriculture. It focuses on understanding how plants grow, develop, and respond to their environment at a molecular level. This field explores aspects like nutrient uptake, photosynthesis, and how plants defend themselves against pests and diseases. By applying this knowledge, scientists and farmers can improve crop yields, enhance nutritional value, and develop sustainable agricultural practices that benefit both the environment and food security.
