Therapeutic Protiens From Transgenic Plants

Proteins of therapeutic importance, like those used in the treatment, diagnosis of human diseases; can be produced in plants using recombinant DNA technology. Scaling-up of these transgenic plants to fields results in industrial production of proteins. The area of research combining molecular biotechnology and agriculture is called â??molecular farmingâ?? or â??pharmingâ??. It focuses on developing [...]

Root Or Shoot: Power Struggle Between Genetic Master Switches Decides Stem Cell Fate, Growth Orientation in Plants

Root Or Shoot: Power Struggle Between Genetic Master Switches Decides Stem Cell Fate, Growth Orientation in Plants
The first order of business for any fledgling plant embryo is to determine which end grows the shoot and which end puts down roots. Now, researchers at the Salk Institute expose the turf wars between two groups of antagonistic [...]
