Commercial production of laccase in plants

摘要

Expression of laccase in plants at commercial levels of production is provided. The laccase gene vectors may include signal sequences directing expression to the cell wall of the plant, and may additionally include sequences targeting expression to the endoplasmic reticulum of the plant cell. Expression of laccase may also be directed to the seed of the plant. The plant having the laccase gene may additionally contain a substance that is a mediator of laccase delignification. Methods of improving the process of introducing DNA into plants via Agrobacterium are also provided.
