PLANT EXPRESSING ANIMAL MILK PROTEINS

Disclosed herein are genetically modified plants expressing multiple animal milk proteins. Further disclosed are vectors for expressing in a plant and parts thereof, multiple mammalian milk proteins; genetically modified and or gene-edited plants having at least one cell expressing and producing at least two recombinant mammalian milk proteins wherein expression may be in a seed, bean, grain, fruit, nut, legume, leaf, stem, root, or portion thereof, the recombinant protein being produced by the plant cell; and a method of producing a food, medicament, cosmetic or blocking composition from the genetically modified or gene-edited plant. Reduction or elimination of seed storage proteins in a cell or cells wherein the milk proteins are expressed, or reduction of plant enzymes that can increase the content of oleic and/or stearic fatty acids and/or reduce the content of saturated fats in the plants or plant products are also disclosed.
