CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing
Hormone crosstalk (2)
Auxin-Gibberellin interaction;
ABA and Ethylene Crosstalk
A protein kinase that resides at the ER has been thought to play a negative role in ethylene signaling pathway; enhances expression of stress related genes
Constitutive Triple Response 1(CTR 1)
Identification of genes like ___ in rice promotes deeper root systems for improved drought tolerance
Deeper rooting 1 (DRO 1)
is applied in plant-environment interactions and to AI and big data providing
insights on plant’s response to environmental cues and analyzing large datasets, predict gene functions, and
simulate growth and stress responses
Biotechnology
: Focuses on entire plant genomes, aiding in gene discovery, genome editing, and accelerating
crop improvement programs.
Genomics
: Analyzes RNA to understand gene expression, revealing plant responses to stress and
regulatory pathways.
Transcriptomics
Study proteins and metabolites, contributing to stress tolerance and
enhanced nutritional content.
Proteomics and Metabolomics:
Uses fluorescent markers to track nutrient movement, protein interactions, and
hormone signaling.
Fluorescence Microscopy:
Produces 3D images to study plant tissue architecture
and cell wall formation.
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM):
Penetrates deeper into tissues with reduced damage, ideal for observing root
growth and live tissues.
Multiphoton Microscopy:
Non-invasive method for monitoring water transport and plant
development.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
Captures broad wavelengths to analyze photosynthetic efficiency and detect early
stress signals.
Hyperspectral Imaging:
Observes dynamic cellular processes like vesicle trafficking and cytokinesis in real
time.
Live Cell Imaging:
Nanoscale imaging of plant surfaces to study cell wall structure and
mechanical properties.
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM):
___ in plant physiology enables analysis of complex datasets and revealing
patterns that traditional methods often miss
Artificial intelligence (AI)
also known as “agritech,” encompasses a broad range of disciplines and
devices that improve agricultural output.
Agricultural technology,
, also called Agriculture 3.0, evolved out of the need to track and more
efficiently manage all inputs into crop production.
Precision or smart farming
____was the breakthrough technology that made this age (___)of farming possible. It helps find deviations within a given agricultural production space, allowing for more
effective use of available resources. This was the main reason why the idea of sustainable agriculture and
a number of automation options came about.
Global Positioning Satellite System (GPS);Agriculture 3.0
Technology like autonomous
machines, sensor-equipped robots, augmented reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), drones, and satellites is
all part of the new agricultural environment, named __
Agriculture 4.0, Or Connected Farming
____ or simply put, “digital agriculture,” refers to the next generation of
farming methods and tools for maximizing crop yields and other agricultural outcomes. One such
technology is 5G, which is currently undergoing rapid development and will improve the reach and
accessibility of the latest agritech achievements around the world.
