A four-nucleotide base-pair deletion in the coding region of the Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor gene prevents its accumulation in the seeds of Glycine microphylla PI440956.

Abstract excerpt

The Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor (BBI), an abundant soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed protein, is a major antinutritional factor. Nulls for the major soybean BBI have been reported in several of the wild perennial Glycine species including G. microphylla (Benth.) Tind PI440956. This perenn...
