Abstract
Glandular tissues in plants produce a wide variety of commercially importan t chemicals. We review specific model systems that can be exploited for bio engineering the development and metabolism of these specialized structures, and the economic considerations that must be satisfied to permit commercia lly viable bioengineering approaches to specific chemicals and that constra in the choice of production systems.
