✦ Synopsis

Introducing and expressing foreign genes in plants present many technical challenges that are not encountered with microbial systems. This review addresses the variety of issues that must be considered and the variety of options that are available, in terms of choosing transformation systems and designing recombinant transgenes to ensure appropriate expression in plant cells. Tissue specificity and proper developmental regulation, as well as proper subcellular localization of products, must be dealt with for successful metabolic engineering in plants.

As plant cells are highly compartmentalized, the entrance and exit points of metabolic pathways frequently involve membrane passages of solutes. Transport proteins are often located in strategic positions to control whole pathways and have to be considered in the development of metabolic engineering

In metabolic engineering, systems which allow coordinated control of two metabolic pathways can be useful. We designed two expression systems and demonstrated their application by coordinating glycogen synthesis and degradation. The first expression vector pMSW2 expressed the glycogen synthesis gene
