Producing high-value pharmaceutical proteins in plants—sometimes called “molecular pharming”—offers advantages over some other manufacturing methods, notably the low cost and ease of scaling up production to meet demand. But expressing large quantities of “foreign” proteins in plants can also sometimes lead to problems, such as dehydration and premature cell death in the leaves.
