Engineered Plants to Produce Dairy Proteins in Seeds |
|
|
|
Scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have unlocked a way to grow β-casein, a milk protein, inside engineered plant seeds. By fusing this protein with a plant oil protein called oleosin, the dairy compound was successfully produced inside transgenic Arabidopsis seeds, representing a major advance for plant molecular farming.

CRISPR Gene Editing Boosts Tomato Yields in Winter |
|
|
|
Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem identified a molecular fix that allows tomato plants to reliably produce fruit amidst cold temperatures. Using CRISPR gene editing to modify a hormonal control pathway involving microRNA miR167 and auxin response factor genes (ARF8), the scientists successfully triggered fruit growth without fertilization, a phenomenon called parthenocarpy.
