Abstract :
Agricultural biotechnology plays a key role in research tools that scientists use to understand and manipulate the genetic makeup of organisms for use in agriculture: crops, livestock, forestry and fisheries. Biotechnology has vast application than genetic engineering; it also includes genomics and bioinformatics, markers-assisted selection, micropropagation, tissue culture, cloning, artificial insemination, embryo transfer and other technologies. However, genetic engineering, mainly in crop sector, is the area in which biotechnology is most directly affecting agriculture in developing countries and in which the most vital public concerns and policy issues have arisen. Therefore, this review report tries to touches all the aspect of biotechnology in the field of agriculture.
