  • Transient silencing of ARGONAUTE1 and ARGONAUTE4 to increase recombinant protein expression in plants
    Patent number: 11802289
    Abstract: A plant or plant cell with reduced endogenous AGO1 and AGO4 expression compared to a wild-type plant or plant cell is provided. In one embodiment, the plant or plant cell further comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a recombinant protein and the plant or plant cell has increased expression of the recombinant protein compared to a wild-type plant or plant cell comprising the nucleic acid sequence. Methods of reducing aglycosylation of recombinant protein produced in plants are also provided.
