 Process
of Molecular Farming
Genetic engineering is applied widely
to breeding of foodstuff
plants and mass production of useful
compounds. The process
for the latter
purpose is as follows;
 Production System of Microplants Co., Ltd
 Generally it takes more than
10 years from step 1 to step 5.
However, the production
system of Microplants shortens the
period remarkably.
If cloned DNA is introduced into embryo-
genic cells
of Microplants and plant regeneration is completed
in
large-scale vessels, the useful compounds can be
obtained
from the plantlets.
The period for step 3 (evaluation
& selection) is reduced be-
cause the
result of gene expression is checked shortly and the
feedback process is prompted.The
period and expenses for
step 4 (plantation) are
reduced because "plantation on vast
land" is replaced with
"culturing at plant factory".
Having the most productive regeneration
system, Microplants
is willing to make joint
researches into transgenic plants with
world-wide biotechnological
companies.
