Abstract: Agro-Biotechnology was more and more important in global agriculture. Many improvements for herbicide resistance, insect control, disease control, and industrial enzymes of food additive have had good results. Directed molecular evolution is a powerful tool for the production of improved enzymes. Objectives commonly include improvement of a specific activity, improvement of kinetics, novel substrate specificities, novel products, and optimal performance in specific environments. The technique has been applied to goals relevant to agriculture.
