Engineered plant viruses are popularly employed for the production of vaccines in plants. Efficacy of plant virus to deliver vaccine gene into the plants are rapid and efficient expression of recombinant protein have been realised. The main strategy involves engineering of viral coat protein (CP) in fusion with antigenic protein or peptide. The formation of […]

Synthesis of Triacyl Glycerol in Plants: 4 Stages
Article Shared by
The synthesis of triacyl glycerol in developing oilseeds is generally divided into four stages. Stage I: Synthesis of saturated acyl-ACP by stepwise elongation of acetyl-ACP to steoryl- ACP CoA residue is then condensed to the malonyl ACP, forming acetoacetate ACP. Reduction and dehydration is followed by a second reduction to form acyl-ACP. Each of these […]
Pharmaceutical Proteins in Transgenic Plants | Genetics
Article Shared by
In this article we will discuss about the production of pharmaceutical proteins in transgenic plants. Many pharmaceutical proteins of mammalian origin have been synthesized in plants. These ranges from blood products such as human serum albumin. There is an annual demand of more than 500 tonnes for many of these proteins. In view of their […]
