With the rapid development of chloroplast genetic engineering technology, chloroplast engineering can be applied in various fields to benefit human beings and nature. Based on our extensive experience in the field of chloroplast engineering, researchers have successfully applied chloroplast genetic engineering from theory to the field of biomaterials.

Here, Lifeasible is committed to providing global customers with the best solutions for chloroplast engineering in biomaterials. Our customized solutions will guarantee your 100% satisfaction.

Introduction

Metabolic engineering in plants can naturally synthesize novel polymers with useful material properties and are widely used. Scientists have successfully synthesized strong and flexible polymers based on silk and elastin structures in transgenic plants. In addition, various vegetable starches are used in plastic manufacturing by blending with synthetic polymers or as the main component of biodegradable plastics. In recent years, plant chloroplast genetic engineering and the expression of foreign genes in crops have created the possibility to expand the use of natural plant biomaterials, such as by synthesizing modified starches, and by synthesizing new polymers. Scientists have successfully obtained a variety of biological materials through plastid transformation to benefit mankind.
