Abstract Agricultural sustainability is at the heart of global food security, especially in the face of climate change, resource depletion, and a rapidly growing population. Advances in crop biotechnology, particularly through gene editing and genetic modification—have revolutionized how we approach crop improvement. This article explores the evolution of crop biotechnology, delineates the differences between gene … Read more
Abstract Gene editing and genetic modification have become central to modern agricultural biotechnology, revolutionizing crop improvement strategies worldwide. While both technologies aim to enhance agricultural productivity and food security, they differ significantly in methodology, regulatory perception, and public acceptance. This article explores the mechanisms, applications, and implications of gene editing (CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs, ZFNs) and genetic … Read more
Smog—a harmful mixture of air pollutants including ground-level ozone, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter—has become a critical environmental issue. It doesn’t just harm human health but profoundly impacts plant life, ecosystems, and global agriculture. This silent crisis is more pervasive than ever, with far-reaching consequences for vegetation and food production. As smog levels … Read more
