Why plants are a preferred host in molecular pharming, how is molecular pharming done, biopharming and biosafety

Detailed notes about Agrobacterium. Looks at the structure of the Ti plasmid, how Agrobacterium infects plants, how the Vir genes work, how it can be used to infect plants with other genes of interest, Agrobacterium transformation and how it is introduced into plants, the different plant based expression systems

Notes looking at the different viruses that can be found in plants. Looks at their structures, how they infect the plant and images of the actual vector

Detailed notes for plant expression vectors. Includes the structure of a gene, the different types of plant viruses you can get (DNA vs RNA viruses), pTRAc vs pRIC vector used in plants, stable vs transient expression systems, how to increase low protein yields in plants and plant organelle targeting vectors
