Abstract

This invention discloses a plant nanogene delivery formulation, a method for nanogene delivery and functional protein expression in plants, and its applications, relating to the field of biotechnology. The nanogene delivery and functional protein expression method involves using a nanogene delivery formulation to achieve efficient gene delivery to plant receptors and expression of functional proteins under ultrasound assistance, and increasing the secretion level of functional proteins in plant cells through secretory peptide sequences. The plant nanogene delivery formulation comprises a modified mesoporous silica (MSN) carrier and nucleic acid molecules loaded on the MSN carrier, wherein the CMSN uses the MSN carrier as a backbone, with polyethyleneimine and cell-penetrating peptides bonded to its surface. The functional proteins produced by this invention possess complete spatial structures and exhibit effects such as wound healing, skin regeneration, and cosmetic skincare. This invention is beneficial for producing highly active functional proteins with correctly folded spatial structures.
