Abstract
Innovations in plant sciences provide a factual crystallization of some of the emerging leading-edge topics and developments in the field of biotechnological research. Biotechnology refers to the use of living systems to develop products as new scientific innovations allow for better understanding of fundamental life processes at the cellular and molecular level. By incorporating precise genetic modifications that were not possible using traditional methods, biotechnologists have successfully improved selected attributes of microbes, plants, or animals for human use. This article comprehensively summarizes the evolving research topics in the field of plant sciences with their applications. Some of the interesting topics are Barley genome sequenced, glow-in-thedark mushrooms, role of abscisic acid in branching and ferns, sugarcane to produce biodiesel, innovations related to photosynthesis process, Info graphic: Cross-Kingdom RNAi, reports related to insectivorous plants and yeast artifical chromosomes, cell signaling and many more.Innovations in plant sciences provide a factual crystallization of some of the emerging leading-edge topics and developments in the field of biotechnological research.
