Vaccinating animals/humans with edible plants is a new emerging
idea that appears to hold great promise. Introduced as a concept about a decade ago, it has become a reality
today. It involves introduction of selected desired genes into plants and then inducing these altered plants to
manufacture the encoded proteins. Edible vaccines hold great vow as a cost-effective, easy-to-administer,
easy-to-store, fail-safe and sociocultural readily acceptable vaccine delivery system, especially for the poor
developing countries.
