Recent developments in transient expression methods have enabled the efficient delivery and of multiple genes within same plant cell over a timescale days. In some cases, vectors deployed can be fine-tuned to allow differential various genes. This has opened way deployment for such applications as production macromolecular complexes analysis manipulation metabolic pathways. The ability observe effect gene matter days means that is becoming method choice many plant-based synthetic biology applications.
