beta conglycinin/nicotiana

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seeds contain the storage protein β-conglycinin, encoded by a multigene family. β-Conglycinin consists of three subunits; α', α, and β. A genomic clone for a β-subunit of β-conglycinin has been characterized by restriction-enzyme mapping and hybrid selected in-vitro

The Cre/lox site-specific recombination system was used to activate a transgene in a tissue-specific manner. Cre-mediated activation of a beta-glucuronidase marker gene, by removal of a lox-bounded blocking fragment, allowed the visualization of the activation process. By using seed-specific
