Making U.S. Foreign Policy toward South Asia: Regional Imperatives and the Imperial Presidency

by Lloyd I. Rudolph, Susanne Hoeber Rudolph

Overview

Plant biotechnology is a set of techniques used to adapt plants for specific needs or opportunities. Situations that combine multiple needs and opportunities are common. For example, a single crop may be required to provide sustainable food and healthful nutrition, protection of the environment, and opportunities for jobs and income. Finding or developing suitable plants is typically a highly complex challenge. Plant biotechnologies that assist in meeting the challenge include genomics, molecular-assisted selection, and transgenic crops. These biotechnologies allow researchers to detect and map genes, discover their functions, select for specific genes in genetic resources and breeding, and transfer genes for specific traits into plants where they are needed. NIFA funds research, training, and extension for developing and using biotechnologies for food and agriculture.
