Autotetraploid rice, which is developed through chromosome set doubling using diploid produces high-quality kernels that are rich in storage proteins. However, little information available about the content of different proteins autotetraploid rice and their proteomic analysis. The dynamic changes four proteins, namely, albumin, globulin, prolamin, glutelin, were analyzed endosperm (AJNT-4x) it...

the effect of levels of nitrogen on growth and nitrogen uptake patterns and grain protein quality of grain sorghum was investigated by two experiments which were conducted at pakdasht-tehran in 2003. in a completely randomized design with three replications, grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) hybrid h-726 was grown under greenhouse conditions using water culture technique. the first ex...

The fractionation and characterization of cereal proteins may be among the most difficult problems in biochemistry: these proteins are heterogeneous. have unusual solubility characteristics. and have marked tendencies to aggregate. both covalently and noncovalently. Recent reviews (Bietz and Huebner 1980. Kasarda et a11976. Khan and Bushuk 1979. Miflin and Shewry 1979. Wall 1979) demonstrate th...

Degradation of the major storage proteins in maize endosperm, zein and glutelin, begins during the 2nd day of germination. The protein most abundant in the mature endosperm is degraded most rapidly. The patterns of protein loss are essentially similar in germinating seeds and excised endosperms. Cycloheximide, added at the beginning of the incubation period, prevents the development of alpha-am...
