Very difficult to answer without some more background than you provide. These may help.
PubMed is a digital archive of life sciences literature managed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). It has a good search engine and is invaluable.
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/
The NCBI home site contains a wealth of links.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Sitemap/ResourceGuide.html
An interesting timeline for agricultural biotech (plus the site has several interesting links)
http://www.whybiotech.com/index.asp?id=2157
It really would be helpful if you could be more specifiic in your query. Are the above links of any help? Please clarify.

Whilst they are excellent resources for scientists, simply trawling through PubMed and NCBI is no help for the layman when it comes to simple requests. The third link is much better. 
I don’t know of any good biotech info sites off-hand. If you want to get an idea of current biotech research areas, a good idea might be to simply glance at the research paper titles from recent journal editions of Nature Biotechnology. You will not be able to access the full text of the papers (without an expensive subscription), but that’s okay because the layman would not want to do this as they are very technical documents. But simply looking through the titles and abstracts will give you an indication of recent biotech breakthroughs.<P>

You did ask..
www.HowStuffWorks.com is actually very thorough in their health/science articles. They explain holes and conflicts very well, I would advise reading some of their articles of things that you are interested in. Their Biology isn't very vast, but they do explain most things on a College course level.

It is easy to think of biotechnology problems that are unsolved, because most are unsolved.

hey you seem to have cleared the first phase of TIFR examination. R U? If yes, Me the same. I'm also confused with selecting the topic.
