All the linked references (21-27) in the plant section are working sites that are relevant to the information given in the section. There are no links to information regarding model organisms and self pollinating producers such as rice and tobacco. It is unclear how these plants were used in pharming. The page itself has some good references used, though the plant section of the page itself is quite limited. Reference 6, 8 no longer exists. There is a very helpful list of universities and companies who have put together research on the topic

Arabidopsis is often used as a model organism to study gene expression in plants, while actual production may be carried out in maize, rice, potatoes, tobacco, flax or safflower. https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1023%2FA%3A1006301519427.pdf

Plant-made pharmaceuticals (PMPs), also referred to as pharming, is a sub-sector of the biotechnology industry that involves the process of genetically engineering plants so that they can produce certain types of therapeutically important proteins and associated molecules such as peptides and secondary metabolites. The proteins and molecules can then be harvested and used to produce pharmaceuticals.  https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11101-008-9087-3
