Abstract: Transplastomic plants as a bioreactor offers a number of unique advantages, such as high level of transgene expression, environmental safety, such plants have been attractively developed in recent years. This paper reviews the advantages and application progress of the transplastomic plants in the production of vaccines, therapeutic proteins, and other important materials, such as poly-b-hydroxybutyrate.
