Plant biotechnology is the unique area of science that allows the researchers to make precise changes to the plant at various levels, making it better adaptable to its environment. Over the years Plant Biotechnology has shown to play a vital role in the development and infrastructure of nations. The devastating threats to plants from natural as well as introduction of pathogens continue to challenge the crop production and environment globally. Advances in Plant biotechnology can help farmers feed the world’s increasing population, while reducing the impacts on the global environment. That is why researchers are enthusiastically adapting to the tools and technologies in this field by providing science based solutions to the increasing food and fuel security issues. The early detection of pathogens with precision is the first and foremost step in effective plant production and disease management. Moreover, understanding the physiology of plants, and appropriate usage of molecular tools for signaling networks involved in plant pathogen interactions, enable us to prepare long-term strategies to encounter these problems.

Pakistan being an agro-economic country has huge potential in terms of crop production and research in the area of agricultural biotechnology. Our department is playing an integral role in educating students of plant biotechnology by offering courses in a wide range of disciplines. We have a diverse composition of research groups having various national and international collaborations. These groups provide students opportunities to not only conduct research but to get an international exposure while working on a collaborated project. The department is also actively engaged in the collection, identification and characterization of pathogens (fungal, bacterial, and viral) of orchids from different orchards of Pakistan.

Plant Biotechnology Department of ASAB has recently signed a MoU with one of the leading academic/ research institutes of the world; Cornell University. This would strengthen international academic exchange and academic-research relationship along with the facilitation of collaborative research activities. The Department of Plant Biotechnology is consistently dedicated to promote sustainable solutions in the field of Plant Sciences through the correlative efforts of academia and industry.
