Genetic, biochemical, and molecular studies of the Bowman-Birk inhibitors in the genus Glycine Willd
"Crosses were made between soybean accessions with reduced Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBI) content and cvs. Kunitz and Williams 82. The BBI (chymotrypsin inhibitor activity) inherited as a quantitative/multigenic trait with 18-34% of the F$\sb2$ progeny exceeding the high parent (cv. Kunitz) in their activity suggesting a transgressive nature of inheritance. A ""new"" electrophoretic band with trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor activities segregated in a 3:1 ratio for the presence and absence. No linkage was observed between the Ti allele (the KTI) and the BBI activity or the new isoinhibitor band."
