Agricultural biochemistry is not only the chemistry of
living things; it's a part and parcel of modern life science. It is a combination
of mathematics, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, genetics, molecular cell
biology, and research. In agriculture, biochemists involve in the study of
interaction between herbicides and plants. They explore the structure-activity
relationships of compounds, determine their ability to inhibit growth, and
evaluate the toxicological effects on surrounding life.
Agricultural
biochemistry does research on the chemistry that occurs in plants, animals, and
microorganisms. Development and discovery of antibiotics, enzymes, genes,
hormones, insecticides, and vitamins result in this research. Researchers in animal
and plant breeding, entomology, and horticulture all have been using this
science to develop products. Notably these products are disease and pest
resistant. And they have been trying to develop products that will be more
productive in a huge variety of climates, habitats, and soils as well.
Agro based industry is an emerging field of agricultural biochemistry. This discipline is also interrelated with forensic science, food and agribusiness industries, genetics, human or animal medicine, pharmaceuticals, patent law, and many others.
