Plant biotechnology deals with theories and techniques for plant production harmonized with nature and agro-ecosystems, which are the basis of life. It also pursues exploration of life phenomena in crop plants at various levels from plant molecular to community through understanding heredity, environment and their interrelationships in order to ensure both productivity and quality of crop plants. The goal of the Department is to foster global talents through teaching and training on (1) breeding novel crop varieties using traditional and molecular tools, (2) understanding the mechanisms of plant adaptation to a biotic and biotic stresses, (3) identifying, understanding, and producing new substances in industrial and medicinal plants having specific functions, (4) establishing sustainable agricultural systems by minimizing limiting factors to crop production, and (5) understanding crop responses to global environmental change (GEC) and strategies to cope with GEC. The Department of Plant Biotechnology offers majors; plant science and horticulture and biotechnology.

Students become experts in agricultural industries. They find work as educators or researchers in government laboratories or private institutions. Other employment opportunities exist in seed and seedling companies, agro-chemical companies, agricultural cooperatives, and plant quarantine organizations. University positions such as assistantships in the teaching and conducting research areas are open to graduate students.
