METHOD OF ACCUMULATING FOREIGN GENE PRODUCT IN PLANT SEED AT HIGH LEVEL

摘要

The present inventors succeeded in developing a vector that expresses high levels of a foreign gene in plant seeds by utilizing a 5'-untranslated region of a gene encoding a seed storage protein. The inventors also succeeded in accumulating high levels of a foreign gene product in plant seeds by utilizing a seed storage protein defective mutant as a target for foreign gene transfer.
