Abstract:

Abstract The use of chemical pesticides in agriculture has raised concerns regarding their detrimental effects on human health and the environment. As a result, there has been growing interest in developing alternative pest control methods, including the use of biological pesticides derived from plants. Synthetic biology has emerged as a powerful tool to engineer and optimize the production of these bio pesticides. This review aims to summarize the recent advances in synthetic biology research concerning the development and production of plant-derived biological pesticides. We discuss various strategies employed to enhance pesticide activity, increase production yields, and improve formulation and delivery systems. Furthermore, we highlight the role of genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, and genome editing techniques in the design and modification of plants for enhanced bio pesticide production. The potential benefits and challenges associated with synthetic biology approaches are also examined, along with the current regulatory landscape surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) used for bio pesticide production. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent progress made in synthetic biology research pertaining to plant-derived biological pesticides, offering insights into the future directions and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field.
