used to produce genetically modified (GM) crops – the artificial introduction of genes intoplants.A number of vaccines, antibodies and other therapeutic substances made in plants such as      tobacco, maize, potato and carrot are already commercially available or in advanced clinicaltrials. Producing pharmaceuticals in plants is easy and efficient compared to conventionalproduction methods.Typically, animal or microbial cell cultures are used to produce vaccines but costs associatedwith maintenance, safety; storage and transport are 80% higher compared to plant-derivedvaccines.
