Abstract

Abstract

This chapter describes the research of developing transgenic barley for synthesis of recombinant proteins with practical significance and of metabolic engineering of proanthocyanidin-free barley. The results were obtained by graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and visiting scientists at the Carlsberg Laboratory from 1972–1996 and during the past ten years at Washington State University. It is written in appreciation of their enthusiasm, skill, and perseverance.
