While we have a variety of methods to produce drugs for medicine, few are as enticing as using plants to make the proteins and peptides for us.

Biopharming is a field of high interest to researchers and now KAUST scientists have modified tobacco alongside a rat PAM enzyme to produce high efficiency antimicrobial peptides that can be massively scaled up for production.
