The trafficking pathway of a wheat storage protein in transgenic rice endosperm [PDF]
Background and Aims The trafficking of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of plant cells is a topic of considerable interest since this organelle serves as an entry point for proteins destined for other organelles, as well as for the ER itself ...

Starch Biosynthesis in Crop Plants
Starch is a water-insoluble polyglucan synthesized inside the plastids of plant tissues to provide a store of carbohydrate. Starch harvested from plant storage organs has probably represented the major source of calories for the human diet since before ...

Spatial distribution of functional components in the starchy endosperm of wheat grains [PDF]
The starchy endosperm of the mature wheat grain comprises three major cell types, namely sub-aleurone cells, prismatic cells and central cells, which differ in their contents of functional components: gluten proteins, starch, cell wall polysaccharides ...

Endoreduplication is the phenomenon by which cells increase their ploidy. Endoreduplication is initiated by the transition from the mitotic cell cycle to the endocycle, in which DNA replication occurs without a subsequent chromosome separation and ...

Changes of protein and nucleic acid concentrations in micropylar and chalazal parts of the endosperm during exponential and stationary phases of embryo growth (Clivia miniata Regel) were examined. The following facts were established: 1.

Retinoblastoma makes its mark on imprinting in plants [PDF]
Genomic imprinting results in the preferential expression of alleles from either the maternal or paternal chromosomes. This epigenetic process occurs in embryonic and extra-embryonic (placental) tissues of mammals, but only in the extra-embryonic ...

Speciation involves reproductive isolation, which can occur by hybridization barriers acting in the endosperm of the developing seed. The nuclear endosperm is a nutrient sink, accumulating sugars from surrounding tissues, and undergoes coordinated ...

The Endosperm of Angiosperms [PDF]
In a recent analysis of all the available testimony in reference to the morphological nature of the endosperm of angiosperms, it seemed clear that certain conclusions might be reached, and the purpose of the present paper is to state them. It has been assumed that the endosperm must be either gametophytic tissue or sporophytic tissue, and the arguments
