| Abstract: |
The article discusses a study where transgenic soybean plants with large amounts of nicotianamine (NA) in the seeds were generated using a cotyledon-node transformation method with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Topics discussed include the involvement of NA in the translocation of iron and zinc into seeds in rice, tomato and tobacco and indication that genetically modified soybean plants can have a beneficial effect on human health and food productivity. |
