Plants as factories for technical materials.
Until the latter part of the 19th century, humans were largely dependent upon contemporaneous biological sources for the production of all organic materials. Plants and animals provided the only sources of fibers, coatings, lubricants, solvents, dyes, waxes, fillers, and insulation, fragrances, detergents, sizing, leather, wood, paper, rubber, and many other types of materials. As recently as 1...
متن کاملAnalysis of Cogeneration Systems in Sugar Cane Factories - Alternatives of Steam and Combined Cycle Power Plants
The sugar cane industry represents one of the most important economic sectors in Brazil. It produces sugar and ethanol for the internal and external markets. Also, thermal and electric energy are produced for the own factory consumption, using sugar cane bagasse as fuel in cogeneration plants. Almost all the sugar cane factories in Brazil are self-sufficient in terms of energy supply and in the...
متن کاملPlants as Factories for Human Pharmaceuticals: Applications and Challenges
Plant molecular farming (PMF), defined as the practice of using plants to produce human therapeutic proteins, has received worldwide interest. PMF has grown and advanced considerably over the past two decades. A number of therapeutic proteins have been produced in plants, some of which have been through pre-clinical or clinical trials and are close to commercialization. Plants have the potentia...
متن کاملPlants as factories for the Production of Pharmaceutical recombinant proteins
Nowadays, transgenic plants are used as an attractive alternative to produce recombinant pharmaceutical proteins. Recombinant proteins such as vaccines and antibodies can be produced in plants via two systemes: stable genetic transformation and transient expression. Stable transformation is included of integrating a gene into the plant nuclear or chloroplast genome. The transient expression can...

The importance of trees in a challenging urban environment ABSTRACT Our cities are a challenging environment for plants due to urban specific environmental stresses like urban heat island effects altering the radiative regime. Ecosystem service provision by urban trees qualifies the uptake of urban greening as an engineering solution to climate change. Further interdisciplinary research and wid...
