The need for useful medicines and medical products is increasing day by day.
Biotechnological plants have the potential to meet the growing demands of pharmaceuticals.
Medicines are generally prepared from animal resources.
But the resources are scarce and the side-effects of these medicines are more.
Hence, Pharmaceutical engineering and biotechnology has introduced genetically engineered plants that can be used as an alternative for animal resources.
These plants have high amounts of therapeutic proteins that can heal many crucial diseases.
These botanical sources are very useful in the manufacture of medicines and also the side-effects are less.
Numerous pharmacy plants have already been cultured in various countries and clinical tests of medicines they produced are under their development process.
Soya, tobacco, maize and oilseed are some of the pharmacy crops which have been used for trial use.
Biotechnological plants have great potential to develop pharmaceuticals such as blood-clotting proteins, antibodies, vaccines, growth hormones and structural substances like collagen, anti-microbial, anti-viral and numerous enzymes.
These biotechnological plants focus more on the use of botanical sources and genetically modified plants.
These plants produce restorative proteins that can be used to cure several deadly diseases like cancer and numerous immunity disorders.
Use of genetically engineered plants offers many advantages.
These plants have the potential to meet the growing demands of medicines.
Also the medicines produced by them are highly cost-effective and efficient.
The cell structure of plants is very much similar to that of animals that aids to the benefits of these pharmacy plants.
