Overview: With modern bio-manufacturing, common crop species can be genetically engineered to synthesize and deliver a broad range of unique bio-molecules needed for medical or industrial use. Whereas the prospects of developing crops genetically engineered to produce pharmaceuticals and industrial products is exciting, there are many factors that may limit the potential of crop bio-manufacturing in the near future. This article looks at the prospects and limitations of developing crops genetically engineered to produce pharmaceuticals and industrial products.
