Abstract:

The realization that biosciences research could play a significant role in human sustainable development in the light of rapidly expanding populations has led many countries around the world to embrace bioscience research. Genetic techniques have been used to generate novel varieties of crops, strains and breeds that yield more and better quality industrial, agricultural, environmental and healthcare products with an efficiency that allows sustainable environmental conservation. This has led to the new bio-revolution fueled by the advent of modern biotechnology.
