biomanufacturing
Biomanufacturing is a field of biotechnology that uses living biological systems—including plant cells—to produce valuable biomolecules such as pharmaceuticals, industrial enzymes, and specialty chemicals. In plant science, this approach leverages the unique biochemical capabilities of plant cells as scalable, cost-effective production platforms for compounds that are difficult or expensive to synthesize chemically. Researchers explore how plant systems can be engineered or optimized to serve as living factories, advancing both agricultural biotechnology and the broader bioeconomy.
