comments:
  - Silencing of GmMIPS in transgenic lines (with RNAi and antisense) reduces accumulation of phytic acid in seeds.
phenotype_synopsis: GmMIPS codes for the rate-limiting enzyme in phytic acid biosynthesis. Supression of MIPS reduces the phytic acid concentration in seeds which improves their nutritional value, but also reduces their germination rate.
