Endosperm-based incompatibilities in hybrid monkeyflowers

open access: yes, 2021
Endosperm is an angiosperm innovation central to their reproduction whose development, and thus seed viability, is controlled by genomic imprinting, where expression from certain genes is parent-specific. Unsuccessful imprinting has been linked to failed

Gradients in compositions in the starchy endosperm of wheat have implications for milling and processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Wheat is the major food grain consumed in temperate countries. Most wheat is consumed after milling to produce white flour, which corresponds to the endosperm storage tissue of the grain. Because the starchy endosperm accounts for about 80%

Regulation of seed germination in the close Arabidopsis relative Lepidium sativum : a global tissue-specific transcript analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The completion of germination in Lepidium sativum and other endospermic seeds (e.g. Arabidopsis [Arabidopsis thaliana]) is regulated by two opposing forces, the growth potential of the radicle (RAD) and the resistance to this growth from the micropylar ...

Starch branching enzymes and their genes in Sorghum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Starch is an important raw material both for food and non-food purposes. It is synthesized and stored in source and sink tissues in plants. The starch deposited in amyloplasts of storage tissues possesses several physico-chemical properties, which makes ...

Regulation of Jun and Fos AP-1 transcription factors by JNK MAPKs signaling cascade in areca nut extract treated KB cells

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
The edible endosperm of Areca catechu is recognized as a potent carcinogenic agent either consumed alone or in combination with tobacco. Habitual chewing of areca nut leads to orally potential malignant disorders which are highly effective in malignant ...

Identification of imprinted genes subject to parent-of-origin specific expression in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic regulation of gene dosage by genomic imprinting of some autosomal genes facilitates normal reproductive development in both mammals and flowering plants.

In vitro starch binding experiments: Study of the proteins related to grain hardness of wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Two friabilin components, puroindoline a and GSP-1 were expressed in Escherichia coli. Starch binding properties of the recombinant polypeptides and of friabilin extracted from wheat flour were compared in vitro. The produced proteins as well as native

Iron and Zinc in the Embryo and Endosperm of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Seeds in Contrasting 2′-Deoxymugineic Acid/Nicotianamine Scenarios

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Iron and Zn deficiencies are worldwide nutritional disorders that can be alleviated by increasing the metal concentration of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains via bio-fortification approaches.
