Plant metabolic engineering

Plant use is less biotechnologically advanced and fundamentally more complex. The first generation of plant metabolic engineering met with mixed success and produced unanticipated results — problems that are not necessarily restricted to manipulation of carotenogenesis. The reason is that predictive metabolic engineering relies on the establishment of both needed tools and an information infrastructure...
