High Lysine Rice
|
The present invention, taking advantage of the high efficiency of expression and packaging system of natural seed storage protein, provides a method to genetically engineer a fusion protein between a major seed storage protein and a target protein of high nutritional value so that its high level of expression and accumulation results in seeds with enhanced nutrition.
The invention also extends to other edible parts of the transgenic plant or progeny thereof defined herein. Food and food supplements generated from the transgenic plant or progeny thereof or plant cells or plant seeds as defined herein are also the objects of the invention. |
