A temporary vegetative storage protein, composed of similar 25 kilodalton and 27 kilodalton subunits, was found to be abundant in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Herr. var Hobbit) leaves, stems, pods, flower petals, germinated cotyledons, and less abundant in roots, nodules and seeds. Total pod protein was highest at 3 weeks after flowering and declined by 37% within 3 weeks during seed development. ...

Red rice and rice belong to the same genus and species. Both are selfpollinated plants, but some outcrossing has been documented. Due to outcrossing, there are chances of resistant gene transfer from herbicide-resistant rice to red rice, which may increase the weediness of red rice. In 2000 simultaneous flowering was observed between Clearfield® CL2551 and red rice at the Rice Research and Exte...
