Plant Biotechnology for Health: From Secondary Metabolites to Molecular Farming de Maria Alejandra Alvarez

Plant Biotechnology for Health: From Secondary Metabolites to Molecular Farming

Autor Maria Alejandra Alvarez
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2016
In this book emphasis will be put in the relevance of Plant Biotechnology for producing compounds of pharmaceutical and industrial relevance specifically the contribution of in vitro plant cell cultures for producing recombinant proteins (molecular farming) and compounds produced by plants useful for human and animal health (secondary metabolites) will be discussed. Also the description of some process held by whole plants will be included. The aim will be to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings for professionals and researchers working in the field of Plant Biotechnology, molecular farming and biochemical engineering.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In vitro plant cell cultures have provided a tool for studying plant metabolism and physiology and to explore productive processes of secondary metabolites.
More recently, genetic engineering has allowed the use of in vitro cultures to modulate plant biosynthetic pathways and to express heterologous proteins of biomedical relevance.
The aim of this book is to offer background information to students and researchers in the fields of Plant Biotechnology and Molecular Farming about the potential of in vitro cultures to perform phytofermentations and molecular farming. Also, the application of in vitro cultures for the production of specific secondary metabolites and recombinant proteins is reviewed.

Caracteristici

It will have chapters related to successful cases in secondary metabolites production and molecular farming using in vitro plant cell cultures It will be a review of the latest news related to Plant Biotechnology including molecular farming, secondary metabolism, mathematical modelling, etc Focus will be in the in vitro platform for their advantages related to biosafety and controlled conditions of work that overcomes the disadvantages of plant growing in the field
