Some of these have been proved experimentally. We have also postulated an important role of quantum phenomenon on biological organisms. In this paper we examine whether the manipulation of these phenomenon can lead to desirable phenotypes in biological organism. We also hypothesize a “Quantum Grover Network” (QGN) in biological organisms. The role of elementary particles in biology and biotechnology is also discussed. Index Terms - Quantum Grover Network” (QGN), Multiverse, super positions, Stress INTRODUCT ION Our group has published extensively on possible role of quantum phenomenon in biological systems (Grover, 2011a, 2011b, 2011c, 2014, Grover and Grover 2011, Grover et al. 2013 a, 2013b). Extending this concept further we asked whether this could have relevance to the most pressing problems humanity faces in the field of agriculture and medicine. QUANTUM PHENOMENON POSTULATED BY OUR GROUP AND THEIR MANIPULATION FOR AGRICULT URE We have proposed that each molecule in a biological cell could be a database of quantum superpositions (Grover and Kumar, 2014). The existence of multiple distinct states simultaneously is termed as quantum superposition. A popular example is that of a cat dead and alive at the same time. In fact right from sub atomic particles to atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs and entire organisms could be considered as a database of superpositions. Each member of database of superpositions is entangled and thus can non-locally communicate with other states. Also, the database of one object (itself a superposition of many states) interacts with the database of other interacting object. The two databases are entangled and show non local communication between them. The non-local interactions occur at the speed of light and do not require any medium. We have proposed the widespread occurrence of entanglement between different components of a biological system. Entanglement has so far not been experimentally reported in biological systems. Even in physical systems for a long time the entanglement was demonstrated for two particle systems only. Only recently multi party entanglement has been reported for three particles (Erven et al. 2014). Krenna et al. 2014 have created an entangled state of 103 dimensions from just a pair of photons. Our group showed that maximum computational capacity of the proteins involved in heat stress is significantly different from that of the proteins not involved in heat stress (Grover et al. 2017). Now let us ask whether the modulation of quantum phenomenon described above can be achieved with the ultimate purpose of increasing agricultural productivity and alleviating human disease. ENGINEERING QUANTUM PHENOMENON IN BIOLOGICA L SYSTEMS Stress is one of the major factors affecting crop yield. In fact the answer is that we may be basically altering quantum properties only by doing genetic engineering or molecular breeding. When we introduce novel genes in the genome by genetic engineering we are basically altering the patterns of
