摘要
The present invention provides isolated and purified genes which aredifferentially expressed during banana fruit development, and the proteinproducts of these genes. The present invention further provides DNA regulatoryelements which are differentially expressed during banana fruit development,chimeric genes comprising these DNA regulatory elements operably linked toheterologous DNA molecules, and plants transformed with said chimeric genes,providing for controlled expression of said heterologous DNA molecules duringthe development and ripening of the fruit of said plants, or in response toexogenous ethylene signals in said plants. The present invention also providesa method for expression of a heterologous protein in fruit comprisingtransforming fruiting plants with one or more chimeric genes according to thepresent invention, exposing said fruit to an endogenous or exogenous ethylenesignal, and harvesting fruit containing said heterologous protein. The methodof the present invention may further comprise isolating the proteins producedby said method from the harvested fruit. In a particularly preferredembodiment, the heterologous proteinis a therapeutic protein, which may beisolated from the harvested fruit, or consumed directly in the transformedfruit by a patient in need of said therapeutic protein.
