Question:medium

Why do cereals and legumes have limited nutritional quality? Describe two genetic engineering approaches used to improve protein quality in seeds.

Show Hint

To ensure the engineered proteins express only in the edible parts of the plant and not in leaves or roots, they must be driven by tissue-specific promoters, such as the phaseolin promoter in beans or the glutelin promoter in rice.
