molecular-farming
Molecular farming is the use of genetic engineering to introduce genes encoding valuable pharmaceuticals or industrial proteins into plants, turning them into living bioreactors for producing medicines, vaccines, and other biologics. This approach leverages plants' scalability, low production costs, and natural biosynthetic machinery, making them a compelling alternative to conventional cell-culture or fermentation systems. For plant scientists, it opens research into optimizing transgene expression, protein folding, glycosylation, and subcellular targeting within plant tissues.
