Climate change affects farmers economically, causing drought floods, which affect the productivity of the plant. Biotechnology is an alternative to reduce the impact of climate change on plants. In recent years there has been a continuing need to provide commercial clones of resistance to pests and long-lasting diseases in combination with superior agronomic performance. This led to considerable research in different areas of biotechnology including: micro-

These areas of biotechnology together are a key tool in the pursuit of genetically enhanced

propagation, transcriptomics and genetic transformation.
