Biotechnology has become an important tool in agricultural development because it helps improve plant traits, increase productivity, and enhance resistance to certain diseases and pests. Tissue culture and micropropagation techniques are used to produce large numbers of plants with desirable characteristics. Genetic engineering also contributes to the development of crops with specific traits, such as resistance to certain insects or tolerance to particular environmental conditions. Molecular markers can help identify desirable genetic traits and accelerate plant improvement programs. These applications require the assessment of potential effects on the environment and biodiversity, as well as safety evaluations according to established standards. Therefore, biotechnology is an important tool for supporting sustainable agriculture and improving food security.
