Abstract: Soybean plants producing soybean seeds comprising leghemoglobin are produced by modifying the genome of the soybean plant. Soybean plants, soybean seeds and soy protein compositions comprising leghemoglobin are provided. Soybean plants, soybean seeds and soy protein compositions comprising leghemoglobin and additionally one or more of high oleic acid, low linolenic acid, high protein, low stachyose, low raffinose and low protease inhibitors are provided. Protein compositions comprising leghemoglobin, such as soy isolates and concentrates can be made from the soybean seeds. Additionally, methods for generating and using plants, seeds and protein compositions comprising leghemoglobin are disclosed.

Abstract: A felt for use in a papermaking machine includes a surface layer of coarse fibers and an underlayer of relatively fine fibers secured to the surface layer. The surface layer supports a wet paper web as the felt and the web are moved through the press section of the machine. At the exit side of the nip of the press rolls, the water within the felt migrates by capillary action away from the web side to the finer underlayer as the nip pressure at the press section is released. Web rewetting is therefore significantly decreased.
