Compositions effective for treating or preventing an anthrax infection in a subject in need thereof and recombinant proteins included in the compositions are provided. Methods for producing recombinant proteins in plants are described. Transgenic plants engineered to produce recombinant proteins as well as genetic constructs comprising nucleic acids encoding recombinant proteins thereof are also described. Methods of protecting subjects against anthrax infection with plant-derived compositions are provided.

Methods and compositions for emergency post-infection treatment of anthrax

The disclosure encompassed herein relates, in part, to a method for increasing energy density of plant biomass that can be used for production of renewable fuel, such as biodiesel oil and/or ethanol. In an aspect, genetic engineering for enhanced sugar accumulation can be achieved by overexpressing a bacterial enzyme sucrose isomerase. Sugars or oils extracted from the plants of the disclosure encompassed herein may be used for industrial purposes such as heating, producing bio-fuels such as biodiesel fuel, or lubricating applications.

Engineered plant biomass for biodiesel and bioethanol production

The present invention relates to a genetically modified plant having an increased amount of oil in its green biomass as compared to the oil in the green biomass of its non-genetically modified counterpart. The plants may be used for producing bio-fuels such as biodiesel fuel.
