Application

Application Comment Organism
agriculture manipulation of TaGCN2 gene expression can be used to reduce free asparagine accumulation in wheat grain and the risk of acrylamide formation in wheat products Triticum aestivum

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
overexpression in transgenic wheat results in significant decreases in total free amino acid concentration in the grain, with free asparagine concentration in particular being much lower than in controls Triticum aestivum
