Plant biotechnology is racing ahead in geometric proportion because, unlike biotechnology of animals, plants raise few social, moral and legal issues. Tissue culture and genetic engineering are the most important component of biotechnology. It is envisaged that in future agricultural and forest biotechnology will complement the classical methods breeding and generate novel variabilities. It will open new vistas to enable the improved production of many agronomically important plants.
