Pharm and industrial crops are plants genetically engineered to produce medical and industrial products, including human and veterinary drugs and biologics and industrial and research chemicals. Crops intentionally treated with genetically engineered viruses that, in turn, produce an industrial or medical substance in the infected plants are also considered industrial or pharm crops. In general, […]
