Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods for producing pharmaceutically active proteins in transgenic sprouted seedlings. The transgenic sprouted seedlings of the invention are grown in a contained, regulatable environment, wherein expression of a pharmaceutically active protein is controlled by an exogenously inducible promoter. The transgenic sprouted seedlings may be eaten live or preferably harvested live to preserve the maximal biological activity of the pharmaceutically active protein.
