Abstract

Metabolic engineering considers metabolic and cellular system as an entirety and accordingly allows manipulation of the system with consideration of the efficiency of overall bioprocess, which distinguishes itself from simple genetic engineering. Metabolic engineering in plants involves the modification of endogenous pathways to redirection of one or more enzymatic reactions to produce new compounds or improve/retard production of known compounds. Metabolic engineering is the redirection of one of more enzymatic reaction to produce new compounds in an organism, improve production of existing compounds or mediate the degradation of compounds. It reviews the current status of metabolic engineering.
