Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the nucleotide sequence and expression of lox2, a mutant form of the gene encoding lipoxygenase 2, an enzyme responsible for unpleasant flavors in soybean [Glycine max (L) Merr.] seeds. Although lox2 transcripts accumulate normally, there are no detectable transcripts for lipoxygenase 1 or 3 in mutant lines that display similar phenotypes characterized by the lack of corresponding...
