Abstract
If you consider the fields of contemporary biology, you will find most of its scientific production in areas that owe their growth to physico-chemical research. Over the last few decades, this area of life research has participated in the worldwide expansion and boom of technically oriented natural sciences; thanks to its practical implications, it belongs to the most important fields of research. Biotechnology has arisen and is growing continuously, and such research generates enormous industrial power.
Adolf Portmann (1897–1982)
