Molecular farming is the production of pharmaceutically important and commercially
valuable proteins in plants. Its purpose is to provide a safe and inexpensive means for the …

Transgenic plants are showing considerable potential for the economic production of
proteins, with a few already being marketed. Recent clinical trials of pharmaceuticals …

Many of our 'small-molecule-drugs' are natural products from plants, or are synthetic
compounds based on molecules found naturally in plants. However, the vast majority of the …

Abstract Rapid Alkalinization Factors (RALFs) are plant peptides that rapidly increase the pH
of plant suspension cell culture medium and inhibit root growth. A pollen-specific tomato …

We describe here a high‐yield transient expression system for the production of human
growth hormone (hGH, or somatotropin) in transfected Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. The …

Human growth hormone (hGH), a pituitary-derived polypeptide, evidences a wide range of
biological functions, including protein synthesis, cell proliferation, and metabolism. A …

In this study, we report the obtaining of carrot plants expressing human interferon alpha-2b
via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using two vector constructs containing the …

In order to understand the characteristics of recombinant protein expression and
sublocalization in rice (Oryza sativa L.) endosperm, we examined the expression level of …

Technology for enabling plants to biomanufacture nonnative proteins in commercially
significant quantities has been available for just over 20 years. During that time, the …

Transgenic plants are regarded as one of the most promising systems for the production of
human therapeutic proteins. The number of therapeutic proteins successfully produced in …
