Agricultural biotechnology is the area of biotechnology that involves uses of biotechnology to agriculture. In 1970s, progression in the field of molecular biology enabled scientists to manipulate DNA, the chemical building blocks, that specify the characteristics of living organisms at the molecular level. This technology is known as genetic engineering. Currently, this technology has reached to a stage where scientists can take one or more specific genes from nearly any organism, including plants, animals, bacteria, or viruses, and introduce those genes into another organism. Existing genetic engineering techniques permit segments of DNA that code genes for a specific characteristic to ....
