Crop Improvement
Identifying and selecting plants with beneficial genetic traits for breeding programs aimed at developing new varieties with improved agronomic performance, nutritional quality, and stress tolerance.
Livestock Genetics
Assessing the genetic diversity and health of livestock populations, identifying genetic markers associated with desirable traits (e.g., meat quality, milk production), and implementing selective breeding strategies to enhance productivity and animal welfare.
Disease Resistance
Screening plants and animals for genetic resistance to pests, pathogens, and diseases, enabling the development of resistant cultivars and breeds to reduce the need for chemical pesticides and antibiotics.
