Plants have been proved as a novel production platform for a wide range of biologically important compounds such as enzymes, therapeutic proteins, antibiotics, and proteins with immunological properties. In this context, plastid genetic engineering can be potentially used to produce recombinant proteins. However, several challenges still remain to be overcome if the full potential of plastid transformation technology is to be realized. They include the development of plastid transformation systems for species other than tobacco, the expression of transgenes in non-green plastids, the increase of protein accumulation and the appearance of pleiotropic effects. In this paper, we discuss the novel tools recently developed to overcome some limitations of chloroplast transformation.
植物已被证明是一个生产各种具有生物学重要性的化合物的新型平台,如酶、治疗蛋白、抗生素和具有免疫特性的蛋白。在这种情况下,质体遗传工程可被潜在地用于生产重组蛋白。然而,如果要充分发挥质体转化技术的潜力,仍有一些挑战需要克服。这些挑战包括为除烟草以外的物种开发质体转化系统,在非绿色质体中转基因的表达,增加蛋白积累和出现多效性效应。在本文中,我们讨论了最近开发的克服叶绿体转化一些局限性的新工具。
