Food and raw material for its production was generally produced via
the traditional agriculture. On the other hand, novel chemicals
were manufactured in the laboratory or extracted from plant and
animal sources. However, as the world population is steadily in
creasing, there is a decrease in traditional agriculture
productivity and concerns are also expressed over the damage
inflicted to the environment and restrictions that might be en
forced in food production. At the same time, there is an increasing
demand for high qual ity agricultural products as well as for food
ingredients related to both the traditional or newly discovered
nutrients or phytochemicals. Trends and developments,~n the area of
plant biotechnology and bioengineering has allowed manipulation of
genes' !lnd/or insertion of new genes, thus production of trans
genic plants. Starting from the introduction of agronomic traits,
particularly stress resis tance to diverse environmental factors,
process and sensory characteristics, food quality and production of
novel varieties of plant-based products through genetic
engineering, biotechnology is changing the,;agriculture and the
concept of production of plant-ba~~d raw materials. Increasing
attention is being paid on research for production of plants !pat
can provide a wide array of food and non-food products. Perhaps the
first non-food pro,d uct that plant biotechnology would achieve is
production of large scale custom-designed industrial oils, but the
list of chemicals is long, ranging" from oils and specific triacyl
glycerols to biopolymers, enzymes, blood components, amo~g others.
