Abstract
In barley, the formation of D-hordein constituting gel protein is to be reduced. This reduction in the formation of D-hordein causes a reduction of gel protein because D-hordein fraction decreases in the gel protein; and in addition, it brings about the transformation (reduction) of proteins other than D-hordein which constitute the gel protein from the gel protein. Therefore, by introducing into barley D-hordein expression suppressing vector 1 capable of suppressing the D-hordein formation and transforming the barley therewith, it is possible to attain the reduction of gel protein based on the reduction in the D-hordein formation.
