  • Publication number: 20230232763
    Abstract: Soybean plants and soybean seeds comprise increased amounts of essential amino acids such as methionine, tryptophan or lysine. Soybean plants, soybean seeds and soy protein compositions comprising a modified glycinin protein, modified amounts of glycinin and beta-conglycinin, or both have increases in one or more essential amino acids. Protein compositions having increased essential amino acids can be made from the soybean seeds. Additionally, methods for generating and using plants, seeds and protein compositions having increased amounts of essential amino acids are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7109009
    Abstract: Novel genes have been isolated which encode cytochrome P450 and NADPH reductase enzymes of the ?-hydroxylase complex of C. tropicalis 20336. Vectors including these genes, transfected host cells and transformed host cells are provided. Methods of producing of cytochrome P450 and NADPH reductase enzymes are also provided which involve transforming a host cell with a gene encoding these enzymes and culturing the cells. Methods of increasing the production of a dicarboxylic acid and methods of increasing production of the aforementioned enzymes are also provided which involve increasing in the host cell the number of genes encoding these enzymes. A method for discriminating members of a gene family by quantifying the expression of genes is also provided.
