The global production of enzyme reached more than $US 1.8 billion per annum. Although contribution of plant biotechnology in enzyme production is meagre but there is every potential to increase in large scale. The first commercially produced enzymes in plants are avidin and β-glucoronidase. They were produced in transgenic maize. Following success, production of several of these industrially important enzymes [...]
In this article we will discuss about the markers for chloroplast transformation. Generally, dominant antibiotic resistant genes are used in plastid transformation. Introduction of antibiotic resistant gene in the plastid genome facilitated the maintenance of high number of plastid genome copies in a cell. Chloroplast transformation invariably and unavoidably produces chimeric tissues, which requires identification of transplastomic cells in order [...]
