• Plant synthetic biology has the capability to provide solutions to global challenges in the production and supply of medicines. Recent advances in ‘omics’ technologies have accelerated gene discoveries in medicinal plant research so that even multistep biosynthetic pathways for bioactive plant natural products with high structural complexity can be reconstituted in heterologous plant expression systems more rapidly. This review provides an overview of concept and strategies used to produce high-value plant natural products in heterologous plant systems and highlights recent successes in engineering the biosynthesis of conventional and new medicines in alternative plant hosts. •The “triple P” concept drives plant engineering for high-value natural products.•Artificial organelles offer new opportunities to boost plant natural product yield.•Tomato is a suitable biotechnological chassis for global access to medicines.•Transient expression technology accelerates reconstruction of multistep pathways.
