Abstract: Disclosed is a chromatographic method for separating and purifying a recombinant human fibronectin from a genetically engineered rice seed that expresses the human fibronectin. In the method, the genetically engineered rice seed is milled, mixed with an extraction buffer, and then filtered to obtain a crude extract comprising the recombinant human fibronectin; the crude extract comprising the recombinant human fibronectin is subjected to cation exchange chromatography, so as to perform primary separation and purification, thereby obtaining a primary product comprising the recombinant human fibronectin; and the primary product is subjected to anion exchange chromatography so as to perform final separation and purification to obtain the recombinant human fibronectin as a target substance. The method is low cost and easily utilized on an industrial scale. The obtained OsrhFn target substance has a SEC-HPLC purity greater than 95% with excellent bioactivity.

Abstract: Ascorbate protects tissues against damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced through normal metabolism or generated from stress. The inositol route to AsA involves four enzymes: myo-inositol oxygenase, glucuronate reductase, gluconolactonase (GNL), and L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidase (GulLO). Eighteen putative GNLs were identified in Arabidopsis, one of which, AtGNL, is interesting because it possesses a chloroplastic signal peptide. Knockouts on this gene had lower foliar AsA and stunted growth compared to controls. The functional gene restored the phenotype of the knockouts, and those plants had higher AsA content, enhanced photosynthetic capacity, and higher seed yield.
