Plant molecular farming is a new and promising industry involving plant biotechnology. In this review, we describe several diverse plant systems that have been developed to produce commercially useful proteins for pharmaceutical and industrial uses. The advantages and disadvantages of each system are discussed. The first plant-derived molecular farming products have reached the marketplace and other products are poised to join them during the next few years. We explain the rationale for using plants as biofactories. We also describe the products currently on the market, and those that appear likely to join them in the near future. Lastly, we discuss the issue of public acceptance of molecular farming products.
植物分子农业是一个涉及植物生物技术的新兴且有前景的产业。在本综述中，我们描述了几种不同的植物系统，这些系统已被开发用于生产用于制药和工业用途的具有商业价值的蛋白质。讨论了每个系统的优缺点。首批植物源分子农业产品已进入市场，其他产品也准备在未来几年加入它们的行列。我们解释了将植物用作生物工厂的基本原理。我们还描述了目前市场上的产品，以及那些可能在不久的将来加入它们的产品。最后，我们讨论了公众对分子农业产品的接受问题。
