Agricultural Genetics

Applying knowledge of plant, animal and microbe genetics to optimising crop and livestock production.

Agricultural geneticists use breeding programs or bioengineering to develop improved breeds of crops, livestock and related microbial organisms.

Applications in Cellular agriculture:

Agricultural geneticists may have many roles in cellular agriculture. They can work closely with genomics specialists, zoologists and cell biologists in selecting starting cells, optimising cells and developing new cell lines. They can also assist with optimising microbial hosts for fermentation.
