In this article we will discuss about the metabolic engineering of flavonoids. Flavonoids are diverse group of plant natural product synthesised mainly from phenyl propanoid and acetate derived precursors. Flavonoids play a active role in plant defence microorganism, pest, plant microbe signalling and also in growth and development. These compounds exhibit potential antioxidant activity. The major health benefits of fruits, [...]
In this article we will discuss about the metabolic engineering of monoterpene. Terpenoids are otherwise known as isoprenoids are the largest family of natural products. They are well known for their constituents of the essential oils. Monoterpenes are commercially significant because of their extensive use in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The terpenoids are made up of few to thousands [...]
Plants are the potential source for the commercial production of biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, peptides, enzymes and carbohydrates. Biopharmaceuticals have traditionally been produced by routine conventional systems such as microbial fermentation and cultured mammalian cells. The demand for the pharmaceuticals and new therapeutic proteins, discovered through genomics, will increase considerably. The use of pharmaceutical proteins from natural source (animals and [...]
