Even as biotechnology has begun displaying its prowess by facilitating the development of tailor-made products with specified genes, its complementary, albeit yet evolving, science of nanotechnology seems all set to further augment this competence. By making it far easier to exploit the desirable traits of biological molecules and cell processes, nanotechnology can accomplish even those goals which are difficult to achieve via other means. Besides, nanotechnology can play a great role in plant and animal genomics, making DNA sequencing a much quicker job than it is today.
However, while the utility of nanotechnology in health, electronics and several other biological and industrial sectors is already well appreciated, its potential for transforming agriculture is generally not so well-known. The truth is that nanotechnology can enhance the agriculture sector
