Mention the application of biotechnology.

Explanation

Biotechnology, an interdisciplinary science has the following applications:
(i) The techniques in Biotechnology can be applied in various sectors like agriculture, medicine, environment and commercial industeries.
(ii) Th outcome of this technology is the production transgenic plants like, Bt-cotton, rice, tomato, tobacco, cauliflower, potato and banana.
(iii)The production of crop plants, which can resist pesticides, stress and diseases is a boon for agriculture.
(iv) One of the immense outcome of Biotechnology is the production of insulin and blood protein through transgenic E.coli. This helps in providing human insulin to insulin deficiency disorder patients.
(v) The other outcomes of biotechnological industry are the productions of vaccines, enzymes, antibiotics dairy products and beverages.
(vi) One of the success of biotechnology is the development of biochip based biological cimputer.
(vii) The protein rich single cell Spirulina production is utilized in food industry.
(viii) Biofertilizers, biopesticides and enzymes are the secondary metabolites, produced through biotechnology.
(ix) Bioenergy production, biofuel, bioremediation and phytoremediation are the contribution for environmental biotechnolgy.
(x) Tissue culture involves aseptic cultivation of totipotent plant cell into plat clones under controlled environmental conditions.
(xi) Genetic engineering involves in genetic manipulation of organisms for production of better strains.
