MODIFICATION OF CEREAL GRAIN HARDNESS VIA EXPRESSION OF PUROINDOLINE PROTEINS

摘要

This invention provides for methods of making transgenic plants which have modified grain texture when compared to the plants from which the transgenic plants are derived. The modified grain texture is conferred onto the transgenic plants by introducing into the plant genes which confer the quantitative trait of grain softness; puroindoline A and puroindoline B.
