Abstract:
Biotechnology is the multidisciplinary
integration of sciences and engineering in order to
utilize the huge biochemical potential of biological
systems for the protection, restoration and
preservation of the environment and for the
sustainable use of natural resources. The diverse
disciplines of biotechnology reinvigorated by advances
in emerging genomics, proteomics and metabolomics.
The developments of biotechnological and engineering
techniques are applied to solve many environmental,
agricultural and industrial problems. In addition,
agricultural biotechnology has been advancing very
rapidly among the major disciplines of biotechnology.
Although, it would give many promises in Sri Lankan
contexts, it also poses as many questions.
