Engineered Lettuce and Tobacco Plants to Produce Meat Protein |
|
|
|
Scientists from Imperial College London and partners have engineered lettuce and tobacco plants to produce myoglobin, a protein found in animal muscle that gives meat its red color and contributes to its flavor. The approach could provide a plant-based alternative to produce an important ingredient for meat alternatives while potentially reducing the land, water, and emissions associated with livestock production.
