Genetically modified plants produce many new drugs
Recently, US scientists have discovered a new method to expand the pharmaceutical features of some crops through genetic modification.

Massachussets Institute of Technology researchers (MIT) have combined the genes of certain bacteria for periwinkle, making it capable of producing used chemicals and compounds. whether to produce many synthetic drugs.
According to research published in Nature (Nature), cells from transgenic coconut trees produce certain genes that code enzymes that bind chlorine or bromine to the money. vinblastine is used to treat cancer, especially lymphoma.
In the pharmaceutical industry, alkaloids extracted from periwinkle are often added to medicinal compounds to improve their medical performance as well as to support them longer in the body.
Genetic engineering is not new. However, the new point here is the ability to make plants produce new products by revising the synthetic processes of the tree itself.
