Stable Plastid Transformation for High-Level Recombinant Protein Expression: Promises and Challenges

Plants are a promising expression system for the production of recombinant proteins. However, low protein productivity remains a major obstacle that limits extensive commercialization of whole plant and plant cell bioproduction platform. Plastid genetic engineering offers several advantages, includi...
