What is the importance of plant physiology in agriculture?
Is there any specific crop that plant physiology has helped improve?
Yes, one example is rice. Through the study of rice plant physiology, researchers have been able to develop rice varieties that are more drought-tolerant, have greater photosynthetic efficiency, and are resistant to pests and diseases. These improvements have helped increase rice yields around the world, particularly in regions where water is scarce.
