This reflects a growing awareness of ecological impacts and the importance of sustainable agriculture. - Research on Medicinal Plants and Bioactive Compounds:
There is a notable increase in studies related to the propagation and biochemical analysis of medicinal plants. This trend is driven by the rising demand for natural products and the need for sustainable sources of bioactive compounds. - Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:
The use of AI and machine learning algorithms to optimize in vitro protocols and predict plant responses is emerging as a significant theme, indicating a fusion of biotechnology with computational tools. - Climate Resilience and Stress Tolerance Research:
An increasing number of studies are focusing on enhancing plant resilience to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, highlighting the importance of developing crops that can withstand climate change impacts.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Breeding Techniques:
There appears to be a decreasing emphasis on traditional breeding methods in favor of in vitro and genetic engineering approaches. This shift reflects a growing reliance on modern techniques to address agricultural challenges. - In Vitro Studies on Common Crops:
Research focusing on widely cultivated crops like rice and maize is becoming less prominent, as more studies center around less common or endangered species, indicating a trend towards biodiversity and conservation. - Non-Transformative In Vitro Techniques:
There is a noticeable reduction in studies that explore non-genetic transformation methods such as somatic hybridization and protoplast fusion, as interest pivots towards more efficient genetic transformation technologies.
