Functional peptide-mediated plastid transformation in tobacco, rice, and kenaf Open
In plant engineering, plastid transformation is more advantageous than nuclear transformation because it results in high levels of protein expression from multiple genome copies per cell and is unaffected by gene silencing. The common plas…
