Abstract
The present application relates to the provision of process for producing at least one protein, comprising the cultivation of a carnivorous plant, characterized in that said plant has been genetically modified to express said protein or proteins, and said protein or proteins are collected from the digestive secretions of said carnivorous plant traps, in particular glue, pitcher, trumpet or bladder traps. The proteins of interest are functional, despite the existence of digestive enzymes.
