“Biotechnology is regularly deliberated the same with the biomedical research, but there are a lot of other industries which take benefit of biotech methods for studying, cloning and varying genres. We have become recognizable to the thought of enzymes in our everyday lives and many people are recognizable with the argument adjacent the use of GMOs in our foods. Biotechnology can be applied to all classes of organism - from viruses and bacteria to plants and animals - and is becoming a major feature of modern medicine, agriculture and industry. Modern agricultural biotechnology includes a range of tools that scientists employ to understand and manipulate the genetic make-up of organisms for use in the production or processing of agricultural products. Biotechnology is broadly defined as any of the technique that uses live organisms viz. bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, animal cells, plant cells etc. to make or modify a product, to improve plants or animals or to engineer micro-organisms for specific uses. The book intends to explain the basic aspects of agricultural biotechnology in a simple and lucid manner.”--Back cover
