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. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Characterization and potential for the genetic improvement of pigeonpea (cajanus cajan ) landraces
… among pigeonpea landraces (iii) characterize the seed storage proteins in pigeonpea landraces and (iv) determine the general and specific combining abilities for agronomic attributes among pigeonpea landraces. For the first objective of the study, the genetic variation for agronomic and …

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 …

Regulation of desiccation tolerance in Xerophyta seedlings and leaves
… 95% of cellular water, a feat only seen in the seeds and pollen of other angiosperms. Xerophyta humilis is a resurrection plant native to Southern Africa that has been the target of previous transcriptomic and proteomic studies into the mechanisms of plant desiccation tolerance. The aim of this …

Characterisation of an Arabidopsis mutant with altered greening characteristics
… or lincomycin. Pigment analysis of PR48.2N seedlings illuminated for 16 hours after being subjected to various lengths of dark treatment demonstrated that the mutant line accumulated less chlorophyll than wild type after short periods of darkness (2-4 days) but showed an enhanced ability to …

Abiotic-Stress Application, Global Berry Proteome Profiling, and Cold-Stress Tolerance in Transformed Winegrape (Vitis vinifera L.).
… polyacrylamide gels, and separation of proteins across two overlapping isoelectic focusing (IEF) ranges spanning pI 4-11, a total of 802 proteins were identified from whole grape berries across four distinct phases (phases I-IV) of berry development including immature green berries, lag …

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 …

Phenotypic response to selection for protein in maize kernels
… basis for that response is largely unknown. The proteins that responded most to selection were the alpha-zeins, a class of the abundant seed storage proteins that are lacking in several essential amino acids. Thus, efforts to increase the nutritional quality of maize grain have focused on …

The Prolamins of Pearl Millet
… amino acid sequences for several alcohol-soluble storage proteins (Marcellino et al. 2002) the genes encoding them have not yet been isolated. We constructed a cDNA library from developing P. glaucum seed tissue and screened it using maize zein gene probes to isolate several α-prolamin-like gene …
