Expression of a fungal cyanamide hydratase in transgenic soybean detoxifies cyanamide in tissue culture and in planta to provide cyanamide resistance

Embryogenic tissue cultures of soybean were transformed by particle bombardment with a vector pCHZ-II that carries the coding sequence for cyanamide hydratase (Cah), an enzyme that converts toxic cyanamide to urea, from the soil fungus Myrothecium verrucaria. The Cah gene was driven by the constitut...
