Abstract

Exploiting plants and cells as factories for the production of novel chemicals and pharmaceuticals is an important application of our programme. The project includes production of macromolecules and secondary products in crop species and medicinal plants, respectively. Therapeutic peptides, antibodies and other pharmaceutical macromolecules will be produced in important crop species. Secondary products, such as medicinally-important alkaloids, will be produced in herbaceous tropical plants. The object of the project is to develop fundamental science, intellectual property and useful end-products.
