Effect of endosperm type on the utilization of sorghum grain by beef cattle
In vitro evaluation of 61 varieties of sorghum grain indicated definite varietal differences in digestibility. The only factor having a significant influence on in vitro digestibility was seed hardness which is directly related to the endosperm type of ...

Maize Kernel Composition and Morphology Influences Pericarp Retention During Nixtamalization
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Pericarp retention during nixtamalization directly influences masa quality, affecting texture, machinability, and nutritional content of staple foods such as tortillas and chips. Despite its industrial relevance, the underlying kernel traits that govern pericarp retention remain poorly characterized.

Structural character of sorghum endosperm transfer cells and their relationship with embryo and endosperm [PDF]
Endosperm transfer cells mainly occur in the epithelial layer of the endosperm and transport the nutrient unloaded by the maternal vascular tissue. They have wall ingrowths that can facilitate solute transportation.

Comparative Evaluation of Starch and Protein Characteristics in Ancient Wheat Species
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Driven by increasing consumer demand for nutrient‐dense and more sustainable food options, ancient wheat species present a promising opportunity due to their environmental adaptability and perceived health benefits. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the starch and protein characteristics of ancient wheat species,

Moderate Amylose Increases From SSIIa Mutations Modify Pasta Texture in Durum Wheat
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum) pasta quality depends on grain yellowness, gluten strength, and protein content, and can be modified by altering starch composition. High‐amylose null mutants improve nutritional traits but often reduce seed size, yield, and processing quality.
