The synthesis of triacyl glycerol in developing oilseeds is generally divided into four stages. Stage I: Synthesis of saturated acyl-ACP by stepwise elongation of acetyl-ACP to steoryl- ACP CoA residue is then condensed to the malonyl ACP, forming acetoacetate ACP. Reduction and dehydration is followed by a second reduction to form acyl-ACP. Each of these reactions is catalysed by type [...]
One of the important goals of biotechnology is the production of plants with improved quality of nutrition for humans as well as for domestic animals. Improved quality of seed storage proteins by tailoring particular amino acids have major health benefits for humans and economic benefits for poultry industries. In this contrast a major target has been increasing lysine and methionine [...]
In this article we will discuss about the production of recombinant antibodies in transgenic plants. Antibodies are complex glycoproteins that recognise and bind to target antigen with high specificity (Fig. 16.2 or Fig. 16.3). Antibody production is restricted only to animals (mammals). Antibodies are used in diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease. The productions of antibodies in plants are popularly [...]
