DRUGS MADE IN PLANTS. “Drugs that are based on large biological molecules — known as biologics — have been produced inside genetically engineered animal cells, yeast and bacteria for more than two decades. Insulin has been made by genetically modified Escherichia coli bacteria since 1982.” However, the first FDA approval was only in 2012. Today there are about 4 other drugs preparing to be made in tobacco and rice. ”
