Biotechnological plants include biological process of manufacture and drugs are extracted from both plant and animal species. The medicines produced by these plants are free from all sorts of side-effects. These plants use the concepts of new and emerging technologies like genomics, genetic engineering, plant and animal cell-tissue culture etc. They also implement various sophisticated tools and machineries in the manufacturing process.
Biotechnological plants use the ideas of various streams of medical science such as genetics, cell-biology, embryology, microbiology, molecular biology and bio-chemistry. All these ideas and concepts are used in the drug development procedures. New techniques like artificial selection, hybridization and breeding are also used to develop high quality plants and animals that can facilitate the improved qualities of pharmaceutical productions.
These plants possess the potential for unlimited medicine production. With the introduction of new techniques in pathogenesis, these plants are consistently achieving success in medical world. These medicines have the ability to solve several health disorders and increase the life span of mankind.Though these plants require more time and huge initial investments, but the medicines produced are highly efficient and cost-effective that can fight with common as well as crucial diseases.
