Center of Excellence in Research for Agricultural Biotechnology (CoE AgBiotech)
Basic information
CoE AgBiotech, part of the Faculty of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment at Naresuan University, was established with the primary goals of advancing and enriching research in environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural improvement using molecular biology techniques and modern biotechnology.
Research Highlights
- Plant molecular breeding and biotechnology
- Aquatic biotechnology
- Microbial biotechnology
- Food and feed biotechnology
Focus Areas
CoE AgBiotech has primarily focused on researching gene functions, secondary-metabolite biosynthesis mechanisms, and the development of molecular techniques for crops (e.g., rice and banana). Furthermore, our research extends to the isolation and application of natural microbes in agriculture, as well as the production of food and feed additives for both terrestrial and aquatic animals. Additionally, we have developed precise and effective techniques that utilize reliable DNA markers for the sex identification of economically important plants, such as date palm, cannabis, and papaya.
