Biotechnology is a new and emerging technology derived from various divisions of science that includes medicine, agriculture, biology and food science. It mainly uses the concepts of Genetic Engineering that is concerned with the cell and tissue culture of plants and animals. It takes into account various disciplines of science like molecular biology, microbiology, embryology, biochemistry, genetics and cell biology. All these concepts are used for the alteration and development of living organisms to serve mankind effectively. Some of the procedures include animal domestication and plant cultivation. Various types of plants are cultivated by applying techniques like artificial selection, hybridization and breeding. Biotechnological plants use all these methods to develop medicines and other pharmaceutical products.

Biotechnological plants are mainly engaged in manufacture of active pharmaceutical medicines and other products. The medicines developed by these plants are cost-effective that can be afforded by everyone. It uses simple and easy methods of production. It has produced different therapies and treatments that use genetic engineering. Numerous treatments are developed by these plants that can cure deadliest diseases like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, cancer, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, haemophilia and cardiovascular disorders.

In various sectors, biotechnological plants have proved their excellence. In the areas of agriculture and food products, it has made significant contributions. It has improved the varieties of food products and other commercial crops. Besides increasing the crop yield, numerous efforts have been made to produce such crops that can bear the abiotic and biotic stress and contain more therapeutic proteins and other nutritious components. The ripening span of fruits has been increased and also the spoilage process of fruits has been decreased. Hence, we can say that biotechnology is a growing technology that has given new heights to medical world.
