Ph.D. in Plant Molecular Biology typically spans 3 - 5 years and focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli. This interdisciplinary program combines aspects of genetics, biochemistry, and biotechnology, allowing students to explore topics such as gene expression, molecular genetics, and plant breeding. Research may involve techniques like CRISPR, RNA sequencing, and transgenic plant technology. Graduates often pursue careers in academia, research institutions, or industry roles related to agriculture, horticulture, and environmental science, contributing to advancements in sustainable practices and crop improvement to address global food security challenges.
