Transgenic Plants

This text covers the complete process of heterologous protein production in plants, from the initial transformation of the plant through to transcription, transgene stability and finally the downstream processing events for protein purification.

---

A detailed guide to the principles and practice of transgenic plants. This book explains the current plant transformation techniques, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and considerations for commercial uses. It begins with an introduction to the fundamental aspects of expression on plants and moves on to cover such areas as post-translational modification, downstream processing, and comparison to other heterologous systems of protein production and genetic stability.
