Patent abstract
The present invention is directed to a transgenic plant wherein at least a part of said plant includes a recombinant nucleic acid with a promoter active in the part operably linked to a nucleic acid encoding a thioredoxin polypeptide wherein the promoter is a seed or grain maturation-specific promoter and the thioredoxin polypeptide includes the amino acid sequence WCGPC. The present invention is further directed to transgenic plants that overexpress thioredoxin in seed wherein the overexpression of thioredoxin h effects a significant increase in the reduction of proteins (—SH as compared to S—S) of the albumin fraction of the seed.
