Influence of lipid antioxidants on soybean seed storage life
In-storage losses of seed vigor, i.e., aging, that occur between harvest and planting may leave soybeans essentially worthless as seed. Peroxidation of lipids, with resultant loss of membrane integrity, is theorized to be a primary event in seed aging. Lipid antioxidants might have the potential to …

Identification, Sequencing, Expression and Evolutionary Relationships of the 11S Seed Storage Protein Gene in Chenopodium quinoa Willd.
… high and well-balanced protein composition. Two seed storage proteins, the 2S albumin and 11S globulin, are the major amino acid reservoirs for the developing seedling. An in-depth study of the genes encoding these proteins is necessary to understand the source of quinoa's protein quality. Our …

Evolutionary relationships in Oryza inferred from the gene that encodes the 10 kDa prolamin (seed storage protein) polypeptide
Cereals represent one of the most important food crops in the world. Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most commonly consumed cereal grains, and as a result, has considerable economic and agricultural importance, despite their potential as a source of genetic material. The phylogenetic …

Developing a 2-Phase Screening System to Assess the in vitro and in vivo Stability of Engineering Native Seed Storage Proteins
Seed storage proteins are the nitrogen and sulfur reserves for the germinating embryo and comprise the majority of the protein content of a seed (Shewry et al, 1995; Tandang-Silvas et al, 2010). The 11S globulins are the principal seed storage proteins in members of the legume and mustard families. …

Pengaruh suhu dan lama penyimpanan terhadap viabilitas benih kacang hijau (Phaseolus radiatus L)
… high in protein vegetable. Things to consider in seed storage is the deterioration (deterioration of quality) seeds by a factor of temperature and storage time. Save room temperature plays a role in maintaining seed viability during storage, low temperature is better than high temperatures for …

Investigating the Role of the VAL1 Transcription Factor in Arabidopsis thaliana Embryo Development
Developing oilseeds accumulate oils and seed storage proteins synthesized by the pathways of primary metabolism. Seed development and metabolism are positively regulated at the transcriptional level through the transcription factors belonging to the LAFL regulatory network. The VAL genes encode …

Pengaruh suhu dan lama penyimpanan terhadap viablitas benih wijen (Esamum indicum L.)
… the science develops. Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)seed is useful for human health due to its oil containing antioxidant. In Indonesia, sesame seed are currently stored by using conventional method that is by drying prior to storage. Things to consider in seed storage is the deterioration …

Incidence and Management of Seed Transmission of Cylindrocladium Black Rot of Peanut in Virginia
Seed transmission of <i>Cylindrocladium parasiticum</i> was investigated as a possible explanation for the higher-than-expected incidence of Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR) of peanut in fields fumigated with metam sodium. Sixty-three commercial seed lots from Virginia production fields were …

Seed Priming and Smoke Water Effects on Germination and Seed Vigor of Selected Low-Vigor Forage Legumes
… an osmotic priming method were used to measure seed priming responses of birdsfoot trefoil, kura clover, and sericea lespedeza. Differences were not observed using standard germination tests, but both priming methods show potential for increased germination rate (P>0.05). Conflicting results for …

Improving Breeding Selection of Seed Quality Traits for Food-Grade Soybeans
… and sprout soybeans are produced using small-seeded soybeans and their production is a high value alternative to grow grain soybeans for food in U.S. The development of soybean cultivars with improved natto and sprout quality is crucial for maintaining and increasing the soyfood market. …

Coordination of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response and lipid metabolism in plants
… specific ER stress response mediated by a mutant seed storage protein, and soybean cell cultures treated with the pharmacological agents tunicamycin (Tm) or azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (AZC). These chemicals interfere with normal protein synthesis and processing events, and are well characterized …

Unravelling the Ecological and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Rough Fescue Grasses F. Hallii and F. Campestris.
… of dormancy and cold exposure on rough fescue seed germination using a comparative germination assay between F. hallii and F. campestris. It finds that the temperature and duration of seed storage has significant impacts on rough fescue germination, and can greatly enhance or stifle germination …

Identification and Analysis of Peanut and Soybean Cross Reacting Allergens in Korean Children Sensitive to Peanut
… and share high similarity in many parts of their seed storage proteins. the clinical manifestations of allergy to peanut and soybean are generally quiet distinct. And also, there are many cases of allergic patients with high level of soybean-IgE without clinical soybean allergy, especially in …

Study of zein protein body formation in a heterologous system (<i>Xenopus laevis oocyte</i>)
Most seed storage proteins accumulate in protein bodies which are derived from the vacuole. Zeins, the major corn storage proteins, however, are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and their protein bodies are derived from the ER. There are circumstantial and preliminary data indicating that …

Global transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational regulation during soybean seed and seedling development
… at the appropriate levels during soybean seed and seedling developmental stages. To define the developmental shifts in gene expression and begin to understand the gene regulatory networks, high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was carried out using cotyledons from seven developmental …

A novel system to study seed recalcitrance and dormancy - comparative proteomics between two Spartina species
… restoration in Louisiana. S. alterniflora seeds are shed dormant from the mother plant. However, long-term preservation of S. alterniflora seeds is challenging because the seeds are recalcitrant, losing viability when dried below 45% water content. In this dissertation, I investigated the …
