| | Plant sciences - definition of Plant sciences in Encyclopedia |
 | | Not all plants are beneficial to humans, weeds are a considerable problem in agriculture and botany provides some of the basic science in order to understand how to minimise their impact. | | | Understanding how plants produce the food we eat is therefore important to be able to feed the world and provide food security for future generations, for example through plant breeding. | | | Plants also provide us with many natural materials: cotton, wood, paper, linen, vegetable oils, some types of rope and rubber are just a few examples that we often take for granted. |

| | Plant breeding, the science of improving the hereditary make-up of cultivated plants, covers activities ranging from the molecular level to the population level. | | | Plant breeding plays an important role in realising high-yield field and greenhouse crops, creating a wide range of flowers and plants for the ornamental plant industry, and developing varieties suitable for organic farming and low-input plant production systems. | | | The field therefore requires sound knowledge of the structure and function of cultivated plants, their behaviour in a stand and practical aspects of crop cultivation and diseases and pests. |
