Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on using plants, particularly maize, to produce recombinant proteins for vaccines and other applications, aiming to enhance protein yield by targeting both embryo and endosperm tissues.
- Research tested three endosperm promoters for the expression of a cellulase gene, finding that the maize 19 kDa α-zein promoter was the most effective in producing significant amounts of this protein.
- Results showed that while rice promoters generated stable protein levels, the α-zein promoter allowed for recovery of up to 9% of total soluble protein in the seed, primarily expressed in the endosperm.
