Literature Review from the year 2014 in the subject Biology - Botany, , course: post doctoral, language: English, comment: Dr.Prof Abhay Chowdhary(Virologist) is the Director of Prestigious Haffkine Institute, Mumbai,India.He is board certified in Microbiology and Virology from India. Dr Chowdhary has an experience of over 31 years as a graduate and post-graduate teacher &,amp,amp, examiner for 10 University .He has published 80 res paper and three books. He got many awards. Dr P. Chaturvedi is Ph d from Rajasthan Univ. She published a book and 24 Research. Her work have been awarded two organizations.A women scientist awardee (DST, Govt.of INDIA, ) has main interest in Plant Biotech,sec metaboli.,Anal.Bioche , abstract: Biotechnologists in recent years have come up with a new concept. This new concept is about edible vaccine. Edible vaccines are composed of antigenic proteins and do not contain pathogenic genes (because obviously they use attenuated strains). Thus, they have no way of establishing infection and safety is assured. Edible vaccines hold great promise as a cost-effective, easy-to-administer, easy-to-store, fail-safe and socioculturally readily acceptable vaccine delivery system, especially for the poor developing countries. It involves introduction of selected desired genes into plants and then inducing these altered plants to manufacture the encoded proteins. Resistance to genetically modified foods may affect the future of edible vaccines. This Review article include many aspects related to plant derived vaccine like Molecular farming, Process of development of plant derived vaccines,Mechanism of action.recent research regarding development of edible vaccines against cholera, malaria, Hepatites B, rabies etc.The review article gives a overall picture of Plant derived vaccine
