Methods of commercial production and extraction of protein from seed

摘要

A method for commercial production and use of heterologous protein from plant seed in commercial processes is shown. The method comprises degerminating the germ portion of the seed and using the germ as the source of the protein in a commercial process. Increased concentration of the protein on a dry weight basis is achieved. Increased cost recovery is obtained in the process. In an embodiment heterologous laccase protein is expressed in a plant and the germ of the plant seed used in commercial processes.
