Plenary and Invited Papers Section 1: Efficient Production from Grassland
Description
- Plant biopharming is set to dominate commercial recombinant protein expression for specific proteins.
- The choice of plant species depends on a multitude of factors and is determined on a case- by-case basis.
- As a leaf based expression system grasses would have to compete predominantly with tobacco and alfalfa.
- The grass-endophyte symbiosis offers a number of unique possibilities for biopharming.
