“…On the other hand, transgenic technology has revolutionized as the fastest adopted crop technology in the history of modern agriculture, which enables the improvement of plants with the predictable changes for target trait in a relatively short time [5][6][7][8]. However, the restrictive effects of legal regulations regarding the cultivation of genetically modified crops and their transport into other countries are some of the obstacles in front of this strategy as well as metabolic imbalance or off-target effects caused by genetic modification [9,10]. All these difficulties encountered in various plant breeding strategies and the radical expansion of the genetic and epigenetic information pool have paved the way for the testing of novel strategies.…”

Humankind interfered in the natural selection of plants in favor of traits such as yield, grain quality, productivity, and flavor principally at the expense of several biotic and abiotic stress tolerance capacities. Plants are subjected to the detrimental effects of the combination of these factors due to their stationary nature. Today, there are various breeding approaches from classical to transgenesis and even genome editing to tame plant genome for our purposes. Additionally, the significance of epigenetic regulation in response to biotic and abiotic stresses has been recognized in the last decade. Acquisition and preservation of stress memory for the progeny to allow them to adapt to similar conditions through methylation, histone modification, and chromatin structure alterations are the focus of attention. Enlightening the cross talk between these components of acquired transgenerational memory may aid to breed more efficient and environmentally friendly crops in current agricultural systems. Priming applications have been extensively studied to induce stress memory of the plant by external stimulus as a warning signal, which may ignite minor activations of stress-responsive gene expression and eventually turn into strong resistance. The present chapter will discuss the basis and the recent advances in plant epigenetic regulation with emphasis on chemical, biotic, and abiotic priming agents.

“…After the acceleration of commercialization of transgenic crops, which were initially developed for agronomic purposes such as insect and herbicide tolerance for only producers, especially stacked GM events, in which two or more characteristics are introduced together, emerged. Approximately 30 different transgenic plants with many different characteristics for both the producer and the consumer as disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, increase in nutrition and food quality, including fruits and vegetables as Phaseolus vulgaris (bean), Solanum melongen (eggplant), Cucumis melo (melon), Carica papaya (papaya), Prunus domestica (plum), Beta vulgaris (sugar beet), had been approved [1,2]. Stacked GM crops have a combination of several traits and even four different traits (genetic modification) are possible to be located in one GM event, as in the Widestrike™ Roundup Ready Flex™ cotton and Herculex™ RW Roundup Ready™-2 maize samples [3].…”

The number of approaches related to recombinant protein production in plants is increasing rapidly day by day. Plant-based expression offers a safe, cost-effective, scalable, and potentially limitless way to rapidly produce recombinant proteins. Plant systems, which have significant advantages over animal and yeast recombinant protein production systems, are particularly promising for the large-scale production of antibodies and therapeutic proteins. Molecular pharming with transgenic plant systems become prominent among other production systems with its low cost, absence of human or animal pathogen contaminants, and the ability to use post-translational modifications such as glycosylation. The ability to produce recombinant pharmaceutical proteins in plant seeds, plant cells and various plant tissues such as hairy roots and leaves, through the stable transformation of the nuclear genome or transient expression, allows for the establishment of different production strategies. In particular, the rapid production of candidate proteins by transient expression, which eliminates the need for lengthy transformation and regeneration procedures, has made plants an attractive bioreactor for the production of pharmaceutical components. This chapter aimsto exhibit the current plant biotechnology applications and transgenic strategies used for the production of recombinant antibodies, antigens, therapeutic proteins and enzymes, which are used especially in the treatment of various diseases.
