The concept of using plants to produce high‐value pharmaceuticals such as vaccines is 20
years old this year and is only now on the brink of realisation as an established technology …

Thousands of mouse monoclonal antibodies have been produced from hybridomas over the
past 25 years. The same technique can now be used to clone human antibodies from …

Tomato has a relatively short growth cycle (fruit ready to pick within 65–85 days from
planting) and a relatively high yield (the average for globe tomatoes is 3–9 kg fruit per plant …
