Proteolysis of zeins in the endosperm of germinating maize seeds
… pattern and sequence of zein degradation in the endosperm of germinating maize seeds were investigated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. The proteases involved in the degradation of various zein components (α, ß and γ) were extracted with three …

Clarification of the Genetic Nature of Sugary Enhancer, an Endosperm Character in Sweet Corn
… (su-1) cultivars when homozygous. Unlike other endosperm mutations, su-1 se kernels are not readily apparent in segregating populations. What is needed is a genetic marker which can readily and easily identify kernels containing se. To create a genetic marker system linked to the se gene, the …

Evolution of Endosperm Starch Synthesis Pathway genes in the Context of Rice: Oryza sativa) Domestication
… aspect of evolutionary change. The rice endosperm starch biosynthetic pathway is one of the most thoroughly characterized biosynthesis pathways in plants, and starch is a trait that has evolved in response to strong selection during rice domestication and subsequent crop improvement. In …

Regulation of (1,3;1,4)-beta-glucan synthesis in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) endosperm and leaf tissues.
… synthesis in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in both endosperm and leaf tissues. For the grain (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan content regulation study, transcriptional profiles of candidate genes involved in (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan synthesis and degradation, from the developing barley endosperm, were compared across …

Genetic Variability, Correlations and Selection Response for Kernel Traits in Two Modified Endosperm Opaque-2 Maize Populations
To determine the genetics of endosperm modification and the relationships with other traits in opaque-2 (o(,2)) maize (Zea mays L.), an investigation was conducted to estimate genetic variation, correlations and responses to S(,1) family selection for kernel traits in two modified endosperm o(,2) …

Inheritance and Genetic Correlations of Certain Traits in Modified Endosperm Texture Opaque-2 Maize (Zea Mays L.)
Modified endosperm texture may be useful in improving agronomic characteristics in opaque-2 (o2) maize (Zea mays L.). Five methods of quantifying endosperm modification were compared. Visual estimates of endosperm modification were found to be reliable and efficient means of rating modification. …

Granular Starch Hydrolysis for Fuel Ethanol Production
Corn endosperm consists of soft and hard endosperm. More exposed starch granules and rough surfaces produced from soft endosperm compared to hard endosperm will create more surface area which will benefit the solid phase hydrolysis as used in GSH process. In this study, the effects of protease, …

Isolation and characterization of the messenger RNA and the gene coding for a proline-rich zein from corn endosperm
Gamma-zein, a proline-rich protein from corn endosperm, was investigated at the molecular level. Immunological and electrophoretic data indicated that gamma-zein was deposited into protein bodies in corn endosperm. Both isolated polysomes and poly(A)⁺ mRNA were found to direct in vitro synthesis of …

The construction and testing of maize transcriptional fusions in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
… are expressed coordinately and tempO~ly during endosperm development and are controlled at the transcriptional level (Pedersen et aL, 1980; Kodryzcki et al. t 1989). The accumulation of zein proteins in the endosperm presents an ideal model system to study plant gene regulation. These proteins …

In situ studies of sugar metabolism in Ricinus communis L. and Saccharum officinarum L.
… to find the sucrose efflux transporter of the endosperm of Ricinus communis L., the yeast complementation selection method was used, but it was unsuccessful. Mutation was occurred on the nSC4+ plasmid during the selection. Maybe the stress of the yeast cells was too strong and then induced the …

Regulation of growth and storage product metabolism in cultured kernels of maize
… kernel growth and grain yield are functions of endosperm starch accumulation. In vitro seed culture was used to study the influence of assimilate supply on the growth and composition of maize endosperm and to determine how various metabolic events in developing endosperm are related to starch …
