Distribution of Napin and Cruciferin in Developing Rape Seed Embryos [PDF]
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.

Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor alpha (DFFA)-like effectors (CIDEs) improve lipid droplet (LD) formation and oil accumulation in plant tissues. [PDF]
Summary 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]
SUMMARY 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.

There is a growing worldwide demand for alternative sources of proteins for human nutrition. In this context, many researches have been carried out to develop an original process for production of total proteins from rapeseed meal. Interestingly, some recent works have demonstrated a possible selective extraction of napins (rapeseed albumins). However,

Foaming properties of protein/pectin electrostatic complexes and foam structure at the nanoscale [PDF]
The foaming properties, foaming capacity and foam stability, of soluble complexes of pectin and a globular protein, napin, have been investigated with a "Foamscan" apparatus.
