Chloroplasts play a crucial role in sustaining life on earth. The availability of over 800
sequenced chloroplast genomes from a variety of land plants has enhanced our …

Societal Impact Statement Therapeutic protein production in plants is an area of great
potential for increasing and improving the production of proteins for the treatment or …

Fusion proteins derived from transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) have emerged as
genome editing tools for mitochondria. TALE nucleases (TALENs) have been applied to …

Imagine a world in which any protein, either naturally occurring or designed by man, could
be produced safely, inexpensively and in almost unlimited quantities using only simple …

The small bacterial-type genome of the plastid (chloroplast) can be engineered by genetic
transformation, generating cells and plants with transgenic plastid genomes, also referred to …

Plants provide an inexpensive and convenient system for the large-scale production of
valuable recombinant proteins. This principle has been demonstrated by the commercial …

Plants are now gaining widespread acceptance as a general platform for the large-scale
production of recombinant proteins. The first plant-derived recombinant pharmaceutical …

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 …

A complete set of genetic tools is still being developed for the micro-alga Chlamydomonas
reinhardtii. Yet even with this incomplete set, this photosynthetic single-celled plant has …

▪ Abstract Plastids of higher plants are semi-autonomous organelles with a small, highly
polyploid genome and their own transcription-translation machinery. This review provides …
