Molecular Biology is the study of how proteins and other molecules interact.
Plant Molecular Biology studies this in plants.
Each gene is a blueprint for a protein, and it is variation in genes that produces the differences between species, as well as inherited differences between individuals of the same species. So, by studying life at the molecular level we can gain new insights into nature of life.
Plant molecular biology might include identifying and understanding useful proteins in one species that confer a trait such as disease or drought resistance, and introducing them into another species which you would like to have that trait.
Alternatively, it might be useful for inventing a new weed killer that is specific to weed species, but does not kill the crop you are trying to protect.
