Fuente: WIPO "tomato" The present invention provides genetic constructs and methods for enhanced production of milk proteins in transgenic plants. The invention comprises novel nucleic acid constructs wherein regulatory sequences derived from plant genes are inserted into bovine casein coding sequences, resulting in increased protein accumulation when expressed in plant cells. In particular embodiments, the insertion of these regulatory sequences into casein coding sequences leads to enhanced protein accumulation in transgenic soybean plants compared to constructs lacking the regulatory sequences.
