agrigenetics
Biotechnical research in plant breeding; the attempt to control plant evolution by genetic manipulation and gene splicing to provide desirable new varieties; such as, a (still experimental) strain of wheat with the soybean's capability of fertilizing its roots with airborne nitrogen.
Agrigeneticists have produced such new agricultural items as a redder, less watery commercial tomato and disease-resistant sugar cane.
