Biotechnology timeline
8000BC Collecting of seeds for replanting. Evidence that Babylonians, Egyptians and Romans used selective breeding (artificial selection) practices to improve livestock.
Biotechnology is technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity has come up with one of many definitions of biotechnology:[1] ...
Biotechnology refers to technology used to manipulate DNA. The procedures are often referred to as genetic engineering.
Biotechnology. The scientific manipulation of living organ- isms, especially at the molecular genetic level, to produce useful products. Gene splicing and use of recombinant DNA (rDNA) are major techniques used.
In biotechnology, one meaning of the term "clone" is any living organism (or the production of such an organism) with genetic material that is identical to that of the parent organism from which it was created.

That said, biotechnology, particularly in agriculture, is often promoted as a kind of panacea for all sorts of problems and I certainly don't think it's that, particularly genetic engineering.
The 4 November 2007 issue of Nature Biotechnology carried two reports of making transgenic plants (cotton and corn) that express a dsRNA that when the plant is eaten by its herbivorous pest (cotton bollworm and western corn rootworm respectively), ...

" Biotechnology! Scientists all over the world are experimenting with viruses, bacteria, and fungi for hundreds of reasons. Why mess around with these little creatures? They are the simplest of all organisms. They can also be the most deadly.
How plants perceive and respond to environmental signals is one of the major unanswered questions in biological sciences. Recent advances in biotechnology are providing scientists with unprecedented opportunities to find answers to many long-standing ...
