Proteins were then dissolved in 20 mL of 0.125 M Tris-HCl, pH 7.4 containing 1% (m/v) CHAPS and the protease inhibitor cocktail, and treated with CPLL. With several variations from the standard treatments such as other complementary extractions from seeds, the use of urea-containing extraction buffer, and an additional peptide ligand library, the total number of detected gene products was quite large. Two hundred and thirty one unique proteins were found in the pulp (vs. 56 described previously) and 61 in the seeds (vs. only four reported by the literature). In the latter case, the presence of seed storage proteins, oleosins, and histones were detected in the pulp, a thaumatin-like protein, an allergenic protein also named Ole el3, was confirmed. 

Cho et al. (1989) studied the inheritance of the glycinin subunits of soybean seed storage protein. They identified five genes, one of which had a third allele. Palmer et al. (2004) discuss these loci and loci associated with protease inhibitors and peroxidase.
