Why study Plant Science?

Plant sciences are among the most relevant scientific disciplines today. Using a variety of approaches, plant scientists are addressing two of the most important problems facing human kind: global warming and dependency on fossil fuels - applying the production of biofuels from plant origin to the use of plants in carbon sequestration.

Animals and humans depend utterly on plants, and not only for food. Today, plant science has demolished the classic barriers of being confined to farm and food production. With the advent of modern biotechnology, plants are being used to decontaminate land and air, produce industrial products, designer molecules, biopharmaceuticals and biofuels. Designer plants are producing biodegradable plastics, new healthier sugars and anti-cancer drugs.
