METHOD FOR EXPRESSION AND ACCUMULATION OF PEPTIDE IN PLANT

摘要

Disclosed are a method for expressing/accumulating a low-molecular peptide in a plant seed; a vector for use in the method; and a plant transformed with the vector. A target peptide comprising 3 to 40 amino acid residues can be expressed/accumulated in a seed of a plant by transforming the plant with a fusion protein expression vector which has a gene encoding a glutelin family and two copies or more of a gene encoding the target protein ligated downstream to the glutelin family-encoding gene, under the control of a promoter.
