Genetic modification of the soybean to enhance the β-carotene content through seed-specific expression.

Genetic modification of the soybean to enhance the β-carotene content through seed-specific expression.

The carotenoid biosynthetic pathway was genetically manipulated using the recombinant PAC (Phytoene synthase-2A-Carotene desaturase) gene in Korean soybean (Glycine max L. cv. Kwangan). The PAC gene was linked to either the β-conglycinin (β) or CaMV-35S (35S) promoter to generate β-PAC and 35S-PAC c...
