Personal Care
A plant, as an immobile organism, develops a collection of defence measures against predators and harmful environments. Using this property, it is possible to force a plant to synthesise a specific metabolite by mimicking a stress. Only a small amount of the plant (seed, leaf, ...) is needed to produce large quantities of the molecule of interest. To know more about this eco-designed production mode, watch the video!
