Soybean Urease-Potential Genetic Manipulation of Agronomic Importance

  • Chapter
Genetic Engineering

Part of the book series: Genetic Engineering ((GEPM))

  • 108 Accesses

Abstract

Soybean urease is an attractive system for two reasons: 1) it may offer a means of employing tissue culture for improving soybean nutritional value, and 2) it is a possible marker in asexual gene transfers. Recombinant DNA technology plays a crucial role in both of these goals.
