Probing the endosperm gene expression landscape in
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background In species with exalbuminous seeds, the endosperm is eventually consumed and its space occupied by the embryo during seed development. However, the main constituent of the early developing seed is the liquid endosperm, and a significant ...

High lysine and high protein‐containing salinity‐tolerant rice grains (Oryza sativa cv IR64)
Food and Energy Security, 2022 Lysine cannot be synthesized by the human body, and it is, therefore, an indispensable amino acid in the human that must be consumed in adequate amounts to prevent disease. Unfortunately, lysine is not abundant in many important food sources such as rice
