Plants that make real dairy protein? Scientists discover an unexpected shortcut
Scientists have unlocked a biotechnology shortcut allowing plant seeds to produce bovine casein, a key milk protein, without the need for cows.
📍 The outcome
Scientists used seed biotechnology to produce cow-free casein, a key milk protein. A Miruku-linked study reported that bovine casein grown in plant seeds reached a 1.26% protein yield.
