Expression of Bioactive Lunasin Peptide in Transgenic Rice Grains for the Application in Functional Food
Lunasin, a bioactive peptide initially isolated from soybean, has anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity.Due its great application value, lunasin seems to be a candidate gene in improving the nutritional value of crops.In this study, lunasin was inserted into the rice genome to evaluate whether it was feasible to express lunasin us
