Abstract:
1. Feed prepared from soybean seeds prepared by a method for simultaneously reducing the expression of two soybean genes comprising: (a) constructing a chimeric gene comprising: (b) creating a transgenic soybean seed by introducing into a soybean seed the chimeric gene of (a); and (c) growing the transgenic soybean seeds of step (b) under conditions that result in expression of the chimeric gene of step (a) wherein the quantity of one or more members of a class of soybean seed storage protein subunits and the quantity of the protein encoded by the nucleic acid fragment of (a)(ii) is reduced when compared to soybeans not comprising the chimeric gene of step (a) and wherein the class of soybean seed storage protein subunits is selected from the group consisting of: glycinin and β-conglycinin.
