Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1485-1495, November/December 2023., 2023 Abstract Plants produce a wide range of secondary metabolites that provide an array of benefits for human health. Challenges of native host production systems such as excessive land use, large carbon footprints, long production times, and high production costs often make plant‐based production of these critical metabolites inefficient and unsustainable.
