 ABSTRACT

Biotechnology is the use of science and technology in living entities, their parts and models to form useful products by transforming living or non-living things and produce novel tools, services and knowledge according to the need. Biotechnology has numerous other beneficial applications besides medically associated but most of them are related to agriculture and Zoology. This review aims to summarize the recent literature about the application and potential use of various approaches of biotechnology used in agriculture sector and zoology. Besides, the application of advanced genetic engineering practices powered by the new breakthrough and innovations are the keystone of this review. The effective use of genetic manipulation has encouraged the researchers to use plant-breeding tools in agricultural sciences which led to the development of novel variations in plants species by avoiding existing biological barriers to exchange of the genetic materials. The selection, regeneration and testing of plant is done later under field settings to ensure that the genetic variations are sustainable and also the characteristics of the new species fulfil commercial needs. Strategies existing for the manipulation of plants regeneration are then validated for the genetic basis of the new traits. The animal biotechnology is the base of advancements in plant biotechnology helping in high yield, adapting to certain stress conditions, and developing defence mechanism against plant pathogens. The Livestock is long been used for development of medicines i.e., insulin, heparin as anticoagulant, certain serum and helped to serve human by developing antiserum organs for human transplantation. Certain pharmaceuticals have been developed in genetically engineered animals. Biotechnology adds remarkable value to the genetic resources and extraordinarily improved the potential return from development of genetic products. With the advancement of biotechnology, automation and science collective efforts continue to eradicate hunger and poverty, focusing on food security, safety and sustainability. Also, biotechnology will improve the use of plants in the protein products production, like consuming plants as biological industries.

Keywords: Biotechnology, Agricultures biotechnology, Animal biotechnology.
