Recent Progress on Vaccines Produced in Transgenic Plants
The development of vaccines from plants has been going on for over two decades now. Vaccine production in plants requires time and a lot of effort. Despite global efforts in plant-made vaccine development, there are still challenges that hinder the ...

Potential of chloroplast genome in plant breeding
Chloroplast engineering (or chloroplast transformation technology, CTT) is a strategy consisting of inserting a transgene into the chloroplast genome of a plant instead of its nuclear genome.

Plant molecular pharming 2012 and beyond [PDF]
It is with significant pride that we bring to you this special issue on Plant Molecular Pharming. We prefer the term ‘‘Pharming’’ rather than ‘‘Farming’’ because all of the proteins and secondary products are destined to be introduced into the human health marketplace.

Enhancement of heterologous gene expression in Flammulina velutipes using polycistronic vectors containing a viral 2A cleavage sequence. [PDF]
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation for edible mushrooms has been previously established. However, the enhancement of heterologous protein production and the expression of multi-target genes remains a challenge.

Antibody degradation in tobacco plants: a predominantly apoplastic process. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Interest in using plants for production of recombinant proteins such as monoclonal antibodies is growing, but proteolytic degradation, leading to a loss of functionality and complications in downstream purification, is still a serious problem.
