Capsanthin, the main carotenoid of red pepper fruits, is beneficial for human health. To breed pepper ( L.) with high capsanthin content by marker-assisted selection, we constructed a linkage map of doubled-haploid (DH) lines derived from a cross of two pure lines of ('S3586' × 'Kyoto-Manganji No.

- * The soybeans that were developed showed resistance to the herbicide bispyribac-sodium, confirming that they expressed the Os-mALS gene properly through genetic testing.
- * Despite some unintended soybean plants without the resistant gene appearing, the overall system using the herbicide to select for transgenic soybeans proved effective for production.
We transformed a construct containing the sense coat protein (CP) gene of Soybean dwarf virus (SbDV) into soybean somatic embryos via microprojectile bombardment to acquire SbDV-resistant soybean plants. Six independent T(0) plants were obtained. One of these transgenic lines was subjected to further extensive analysis.

Three T(0) plants with an introduced CP gene were obtained, and one generated T(1) seeds. The presence of the transgene in T(1) plants was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot hybridization analysis, but expression of CP was not detected by northern blot hybridization analysis.
