Proteins are widely used in research, medicine and industry, but its extraction from their natural sources can be difficult, tedious and expensive. Therefore, a simple and inexpensive system that allows large-scale production of safe recombinant proteins will always be highly desirable. Traditional production systems that use microbial, insect and mammalian cell cultures have drawbacks, in terms of cost, scalability and product safety. Several studies have shown that molecular farming in plants has many practical, economic, and safety advantages as compared to these conventional methods. Thus, the use of plants for recombinant protein synthesis is gaining wide acceptance…
