PLANT MOLECULAR FARMING: MUCH MORE TO KNOW

Advances in plant molecular farming.

Plant molecular farming (PMF) is a new branch of plant biotechnology, where plants are engineered to produce recombinant pharmaceutical and industrial proteins in large quantities. As an emerging subdivision of the biopharmaceutical industry, PMF is still trying to gain comparable social acceptance as the already established production systems that produce these high valued proteins in microbia...

Plant Breeding and Molecular Farming

Much to Know About History

Users often revisit pages while browsing the Web, yet little is known on the character of these revisits. In this paper we present an analysis of various revisit activities, based on results from a long-term click-through study. We separate backtracking activities from recurrent behavior, discuss the impact of the use of multiple windows, and show that in particular infrequently reoccurring act...

Plant molecular farming: opportunities and challenges.

Production of foreign molecules in transgenic plants is anticipated to be an alternative to already established, microbial or animal expression systems with lower production costs. This article reviews the different technologies and approaches currently used to produce economically interesting molecules in plants or plant cell cultures, to evaluate their technical feasibility and economic impli...

Molecular farming of Plant Derived Edible Vaccines

Plant Derived Edible Vaccines Abstract Vaccines have been one of the most farreaching and important public health initiatives of the 20 century. Edible vaccine, in particular, might overcome some of the difficult of production, distribution and delivery associated with traditional vaccine. Transgenic potatoes expressing LT-B were found to induce both serum and secretory antibodies when fed to m...
