Elimination of zero-repeat subunit in allergenic seed protein 13S globulin using the novel allele in common buckwheat ( Moench).

Common buckwheat ( Moench) seeds contain 13S globulin, the zero-repeat subunit of which is trypsin-resistant and allergenic. Here, its two novel alleles were analyzed for development of hypoallergenic plants. The allele has a Miniature Inverted-repeat Transposable Element (MITE)-like insertion in the 4th exon.
