Plants as Factories for Protein Production

by Elizabeth E. Hood (Editor), J.A. Howard (Editor)

Overview

The first commercial products from transgenic plants have recently entered the market and many more are expected in the near future. Written by international experts in the field of molecular farming, this text for graduate students and industry professionals looks at the potential uses of transgenic plants for recombinant protein production. Coverage includes such topics as the viral vector expression of foreign proteins in plants, the choice of crop species, and the development and use of intellectual property.
