History of Plastid Transformation and Biotechnological Applications

More recent biotechnological applications of chloroplast engineering involve the manipulation of plastid DNA sequences in vitro and the 

From the aforementioned studies, there is little surprise that chloroplast engineering is also considered to he a promising new means by which to produce vaccines, antibodies, and other therapeutic proteins at high levels in plants. A number of examples are described in the following text and in Table 3.3 (Daniell, 2009).
