This invention provides a method and application for transient expression of collagen in plants. The collagen fragment C3S1, C3S2, C3S3, C3S4, and C3S5 are linked together with the
amino acid sequences shown in SEQ1, SEQ2, SEQ3, SEQ4, and SEQ5, respectively. This collagen fragment can be expressed using tobacco as a
bioreactor. By designing expression vectors, its expression effect in tobacco can be compared, and a transient expression
system in tobacco can be established to achieve efficient expression of the collagen fragment in tobacco. This preparation method can express recombinant collagen fragments in tobacco with high expression levels. Compared to full-length
intron-modified collagen or expression using
type I collagen, this method achieves efficient expression of
type III collagen fragments in tobacco bioreactors. It has a
short cycle time, requires no maintenance of
cell lines and bioreactors, significantly reduces production costs, and has a high
safety index.
