HYDROPONICS: A PLATFORM FOR GENETIC AND PLANT ENGINEERING


Abstract: An innovative cultivation approach termed Hydroponics employs several strategies to grow plants in a soil-less environment. Hydroponics facilitates advanced farming approaches and efficient utilisation of natural resources via precise control over the growing conditions and parameters. Moreover, this method optimises nutrient delivery, water usage, and year-round crop production, which enhances food security and sustainable growth even in drastically changing areas. This article justifies the hydroponics platform for genetic modifications, plant breeding, and biotechnological advancements. An overview of several hydroponic systems, practices, materials, methods, and procedures aids in diverse genetic and plant engineering applications. Despite the initial expenditures and technical expertise required, a research group might use this strategy to perform trait selection, suppression, and genetic transformations to accelerate the development of improved plant varieties. This resourceefficient technique is a reliable tool for future innovations in agriculture and biotechnology.
