The Challenges and Practical Solutions of Synthetic Biology in Plants

Synthetic biology holds transformative potential for enhancing plant traits, improving agricultural sustainability, and addressing pressing global challenges such as food security and climate change. However, its application in plants faces various challenges, including technical limitations, safety concerns, regulatory barriers, and public skepticism. This thesis investigates these obstacles in depth and proposes practical, actionable solutions, incorporating scientific advancements, robust ethical frameworks, and scalable technologies. Examining case studies and drawing on interdisciplinary research outlines pathways for responsibly and effectively leveraging synthetic biology in plant science.
