The dielectric includes a dielectric film that is not rendered molten during thermo-compression bonding, and an adherent insulator rendered molten during thermo-compression bonding. The surface of the dielectric film is subjected to a treatment to improve wettability. Adherence of the adherent insulator rendered molten in thermo-compression bonding to the dielectric film is facilitated. The distance between the first electrode and the second electrode can be set constant by interposing the dielectric film between the first and second electrodes. Accordingly, a wiring board ensured in lifetime and improved in reliability, and a fabrication method of such a wiring board can be obtained.

Abstract: A region containing the glutelin gene promoter, which expresses a gene specifically in the endosperm of rice plant seed, was isolated; a vector was constructed to have the natural or modified soybean glycinin gene ligated downstream of the promoter; the vector construct was introduced into a cultured cell of rice plant; and thus a transgenic rice plant was obtained. The inventors studied the tissue specificity and form of soybean glycinin expressed in the created transgenic rice plant, and then found that the expressed soybean glycinin was accumulated in rice plant seeds in the transgenic rice plant and that the accumulated soybean glycinin was present as the matured protein formed by protein processing.
