Abstract:
1. A stably transformed duckweed plant, duckweed plant cell, or duckweed nodule, wherein said duckweed plant or duckweed plant cell or nodule is stably transformed with a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding plasminogen, wherein said nucleic acid molecule comprises: a) duckweed-preferred codons in the coding sequence for said plasminogen; b) an operably linked nucleotide sequence comprising a plant intron that is inserted upstream of the coding sequence for said plasminogen; c) an operably linked nucleotide sequence coding for a signal peptide, said signal peptide-encoding sequence inserted between said intron and said plasminogen-encoding sequence; and d) an operably linked nucleotide sequence comprising the translation leader sequence from the ribulose-bis-phosphate carbosylase small subunit 5B gene of
