Abstract
Plant biotechnology involves use of multiple techniques in a systematic and productive manner to accomplish the needs and objectives of humans along with associated lives. Plant biotechnology covers nearly all aspects, from molecular to product level, for production of value-added ecofriendly industrial products in a cost-effective manner for human welfare. Plant biotechnology as a subject has very broad industrial future perspectives for human welfare. Plants have a tremendous potential to produce metabolites, enzymes, medicines and edible vaccines and remediate the unwanted substances using recombinant DNA technology. Plants-derived vaccines, medicines and secondary metabolites are of immense industrial potential. Plants secondary metabolites are of particular interest in different industries, including food and pharmaceuticals. In the current scenario, the world population is more inclined toward the plant products as compared to their pure chemical alternatives. This chapter focuses on industrial applications and future prospective of plant biotechnology.
