Plastid Transformation    
High yields of gene product: Each cell contains around 100 chloroplasts each with as many as 100 plastome copies equivalent to 10 000 gene copies per cell. Recombinant protein contents of up to 20% of total cellular protein can be obtained.

• Biological safety: no pollen transmission
• Targeted insertion of transgenes at predetermined loci:
• productivity stable and predictable
• no gene silencing, no 'position effects'
• valuable traits maintained
• transgenes not inserted into the nucleus
• Versatility: operon expression of multiple genes
• Systems for selection marker removal allow the generation of marker free transplastomic plants
• Very efficient protoplast-based proprietary plastid transformation technology; protoplast systems available for many species available
