Structure of the rapeseed 1.7 S storage protein, napin, and its precursor.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1986 Napin (1.7 S protein) is a basic, low molecular weight storage protein synthesized in rapeseed (Brassica napus) embryos during seed development. Napin is composed of two polypeptide chains with molecular weights of 9000 and 4000 that are held together by

Structure of a gene encoding the 1.7 S storage protein, napin, from Brassica napus.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1987 A rapeseed chromosomal region containing a gene (napA), which encodes the 1.7 S seed storage protein (napin), was isolated in several overlapping recombinant clones from a phage lambda genomic library.

SCL15 Regulates the Release of Seed Dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana by Integrating the Circadian Clock, Hormonal Signals and Cell Wall Remodelling. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Dormancy release and germination of the seed are two separate, but continuous phases controlled by both external (e.g., light and temperature) and internal (e.g., circadian clock and hormones) cues. In eudicot seeds, the endosperm tissues play a key role in dormancy release and germination through dynamic modulation of wall components and ...

Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor alpha (DFFA)-like effectors (CIDEs) improve lipid droplet (LD) formation and oil accumulation in plant tissues. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JSummary The cell death‐inducing DNA fragmentation factor alpha (DFFA)‐like effectors (CIDEs), including CIDEA, CIDEB and CIDEC, regulate the number and size of lipid droplets (LDs) in vertebrates. However, no homologue of CIDE has been reported in plants.

Identification of a promoter region specifically active in the maturing endosperm of Arabidopsis seeds and its use for targeted modification of fatty acid metabolism. [PDF]
Plant JSUMMARY In angiosperm seeds, the relative proportions of the two zygotic tissues vary considerably from species to species. In many field‐grown oilseed species, and in those of the model species Arabidopsis thaliana, the embryo predominates, and studies of lipid metabolism in whole seeds reflect embryonic metabolism.

Distribution of Napin and Cruciferin in Developing Rape Seed Embryos [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1992 The distribution of napin and cruciferin, the two major storage proteins in rape seed, Brassica napus, has been visualized during seed development by antibody staining of paraffin-embedded and sectioned seeds. The results indicate that the synthesis of both proteins during embryogenesis is strictly regulated with respect to time and tissue.
