Plant Science

Understanding the ecology, physiology and pathology of plants to better utilise them for food, medicines or industrial products.

Plant scientists conduct experiments concerning the breeding, physiology, production, yield, and management of crops and agricultural plants. They also research the effect of soils and pests on these plants in order to optimise agricultural yields in a sustainable way.

Applications in cellular agriculture:

Sound knowledge of plant properties can be useful in developing animal-free growth factors, media and scaffolding structures for cellular agriculture.
