		Plant breeding, the science of improving the hereditary make-up of cultivated plants, covers activities ranging from the molecular level to the population level.
		Consequently, the plant sciences are an amalgam of other sciences such as genetics, physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, morphology, anatomy, cytology, taxonomy and statistics.
		Plant breeding plays an important role in realising high-yield field and greenhouse crops, creating a wide range of flowers and plants for the ornamental plant industry, and developing varieties suitable for organic farming and low-input plant production systems.

		Plants form the basis of life as they convert sunlight into an inexhaustible source of food and renewable raw materials.
		Plants also have a stabilising effect in (agro-) ecosystems, a landscape function and ornamental value.
