The scope of plant biosystems design research. Plant biosystems design is an interdisciplinary research field integrating plant systems biology, engineering, chemistry, computer science, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, physics, and mathematics to redesign natural plant systems and construct new plant systems in a predictable and programmable manner. Plant biosystems design research covers four aspects: theories and principles, methods and toolboxes, applications, and social responsibilities.
