Botanist UNI

Botanists, today also known as plant scientists, research, systematise and describe the organisation and life functions of plants, but also deal with the role of plants in ecological, pharmaceutical and nutritional contexts. plant science has regained importance in the wake of climate change, restrictions on biodiversity and the increasing demand for plant products. Depending on the specialisation, areas such as bioinformatics, cell and structural biology, microbiology, plant protection, ecology etc. are part of the field of work, and in plant biotechnology biological knowledge is also used to improve food plants.Botanists work as scientists at universities and in research institutes.
