Plant Molecular Biology

Plant Molecular Biology is the study of molecular basis of plant life, particularly concerned with the processes by which the information encoded in the genome is manifested as structures, processes and behaviors.

Plant Molecular Biology explores certain cells role and their function in plant life and it is useful to find out methods to alter cells for great effect like reaction to various stresses, resistance to common diseases and to maintain mineral levels in a plant.

Plant Microbiology elucidates and understands the mechanisms like genetic signal transduction, cell differentiation, plant microbe interactions, local adaptation and developmental process. Areas of research include nitrogen fixation, plant perception of microbial signaling molecules, pathogen susceptibility, colonization and entophytic bacteria/fungi.
