Researchers at the University of California-Riverside, given a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, are now looking to accomplish three goals.
1) The team will try to successfully deliver DNA containing mRNA vaccines into plant cells, where they can replicate.
2) The study authors want to show that plants can actually produce enough mRNA to replace a traditional injection.
3) The team will need to determine the right dosage people will need to eat to properly replace vaccinations.

“Ideally, a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person,” says Juan Pablo Giraldo, an associate professor in UCR’s Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, in a university release.

“We are testing this approach with spinach and lettuce and have long-term goals of people growing it in their own gardens,” Giraldo adds. “Farmers could also eventually grow entire fields of it.”
