“…Recent developments in genetic engineering enable the production of various biomolecules such as carbohydrates, fatty acid, high-value pharmaceutical polypeptides, industrial enzymes and biodegradable plastics from other organisms in transgenic plants [2]. Transgenic plants may become attractive and cost effective alternatives to microbial and animal systems for the production of biomolecules.…”

“…It has been reported that an expression level of up to 30% of total soluble protein for an animal vaccine can be produced in transgenic tobacco plants [18]. Other plants have also been used, including rice [11,19,20], wheat [20], maize [21] and oilseed rape [22][23][24], since it is considered that full-scale commercial production could involve grain and oilseed crops. The production of vaccines, antibodies and biopharmaceuticals in transgenic plants has been summarized in a previous review article [14].…”

Global food production will need to increase more than 50% before 2050 to satisfy the food demands of an increasing human population. To solve this food crisis, an increase in rice production will be necessary as rice is especially vital for the nutrition of much of the population in many countries. One solution to the future food shortage worldwide would be to cultivate crops in places where plants to do typically grow (e.g., desert and Antarctic). The technology for "plant factories", a new facility to grow plants under a controlled environment that would enable high yield and high quality production year-round, is progressing. Through the computer-based, automated control of environmental conditions for optimal rice growth, the external environmental conditions would have little effect on the plants growing inside the plant factory. In the near future, the plant factory could play an important role in areas where field productions are difficult or impossible. Moreover, since producing biopharmaceuticals in plants through genetic engineering technologies has many economic and qualitative benefits, the trial to produce useful materials in transgenic plants is examined in the plant factory. Transgenic plants might therefore expand the usefulness of plant factories. In this review article, feasibility of rice growth in plant factories is summarized.

“…Genetic transformation has become a powerhl tool in the production of pharmaceuticals, using crop plants such as alfalfa as biological drug factories (ap Rees 1995;Goddijn and Pen 1995;Mason and Arntxn 1995). Valuable extractives, such as taxol, currently available only from tree species, might be produced through genetic modification of faster-growing agricultural plants (Daie and Belanger 1993).…”
