Abstract
Products and methods for amplifying target nucleic acids using cells derived from plants are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for improving transcription of target nucleic acids beyond expectations based solely on target copy number, and the recovery of such expression products. The products include nucleic acids containing a plant-active Amplification Promoting Sequence (APS) and the methods exploit these products in amplifying target nucleic acids. The methods of the invention minimize operator intervention and exploit solar energy and the minimal nutrient needs of photoautotrophic organisms to provide inexpensive and indefinitely sustainable methods for producing a variety of amplified target nucleic acids and encoded products such as polypeptides.
